Willy on Keep Folk Talking podcast: Songs, Stories and Liverpool Roots
The Folk Nights Before the Stage Lights
Willy joins host Brian Jones In an extended edition of Keep Folk Talking, for a vivid journey back to the roots of a creative life.
From a childhood steeped in music before the days of television, through the electrifying discovery of The Beatles at the Cavern, Willy recalls the moments that shaped his artistic path. He reflects on early influences from Buddy Holly to Bob Dylan, the pull of the 1960s folk revival, and the vibrant Liverpool scene that saw him find his voice as a writer.
Through stories of the Spinners Club, the iconic Green Moose, and the friendships and chance encounters that defined an era, this is a rich, entertaining conversation about creativity, community, and the unpredictable moments that spark a lifetime in the arts.
