_{Guitarist Keith Atack rose in fame in the 70’s with the band Child alongside his twin brother Tim. Both later fronted two more bands together in the early 80’s. Since then Keith has mainly focused on being a touring artist, performing with artists such as Bonnie Tyler and David Cassidy, as well as playing in tribute acts such as Illegal Eagles and The Carpenter’s Story and working on music for TV and movies. Now, however he has returned to his rock n roll roots with a new band called Atack and a new album called “Nine Lives” that is released through Escape Music on 24^th November.}

_{I had the opportunity to chat to Keith, via telephone, for about thirty minutes on 24^th October. We talked about the new band, the new album and his career to date. You can hear that conversation on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 27^th October. Now available to play on our MixCloud page -}
