Derek Conlon has been playing the piano since his first encounter with the instrument in his home in Dublin, age 4. Piano playing became his life. Bringing him around the world and introducing him to characters and situations we can only imagine. Several years ago, Derek's life changed when he was an unwitting victim of a Polonium poisoning plot, hatched by the Russians in the London hotel where Derek worked. EPISODES: This podcast is about the Poisoning, Dublin in the 80s, Songwriting, avoiding a Mossad takedown, the making of The Sky News podcast and a couple of original songs.
