Steve Whelan a family man and patron of Youghal in Southern Ireland has a very down to earth approach delivering his music with a spirit of honesty presence and grit. His smokey vocals married with his simple but poetic and addictive melodies produces a musical honesty and edge posessed by few writer composers.

All this and always captivating,the songs reflect a musical artist with a rare aspect:sincerity.Changes come and changes go-what is wrong and what is right-The world is full of changes,those words undline this albums brilliantly unassuming message each song,like family members sparks off one another but is bound by they're direction from the heart to the listner steve's reluctant ego allows his songwrintng quality to merge perfectly with his backing musicians on THE LAST WALK Its a labour of love so step up and have a listen.
