Rod McVey

What's it like to be a working musician in Northern Ireland, always on the road, in studios and practising?

The music we often take for granted is the result of dedication, inspiration and hard graft. Linley Hamilton should know. He's one of our most popular and successful jazz musicians, at the centre of a flourishing local music community.

In this series of programmes, Linley opens a window into the creative process, talking to some of our finest musical talent who feature on some of the best known Irish recordings, but who are often little known in their own right.

In this second programme of the series, Linleys guest is Rod McVey, who has worked as a keyboard player, producer and arranger for Maura O'Connell, Liam O'Flynn, Andy White, Dolores Keane and The Corrs.
