When We Were Young….

I have thought about doing this for some time now…but couldn’t quite figure out how best to approach it.

I played with a Dublin band Whipping Boy in the nineties. We released our second album ‘Heartworm’ on Columbia Records in 1995. It was a commercial failure. The band split in 2000 after the release of our final album.

That should have been the end of our story.

But somehow, ‘Heartworm’ became something of a cult album. Fans of the album kept the name alive, shared their love of the record. And it took on a life of its own. It was reissued in 2022 and reached number 4 in the Irish Album charts.

27 years after the original release.

This will be the story of Whipping Boy told from my perspective. I plan to tell it through a series of posts, delivered directly to your inbox, free of charge.

Thank you.
