Louis Walsh is one of the most prolific music moguls of the last 20 years, having managed pop groups such as Westlife, Boyzone and Girls Aloud.Louis joined Matt to talk about growing up in Kiltimagh in Co. Mayo, his time as an X Factor judge, his relationship with Simon Cowell and his experience of living in the Big Brother House.He also addressed the criticism he received after the release of the recent Boyzone documentary on Sky.This series is brought to you by Close Brothers Motor Finance.

Boyzone No Matter What, the Sky documentary being screened globally, originated in The Joe Jackson Archive of 1,400 tapes of celebrity interviews. It uses my tapes and photographs, but there is far more material in my archive that was unused because of time restraints, such as this clip from a 2002 interview with Ronan Keating. 

While digitising my Boyzone interview tapes that led to the Sky documentary Boyzone No Matter What, I came across this short clip at the end of an interview, I was taping on the phone with Sinead. She had read and loved my Keith Duffy interview and had choice words to say about Louis Walsh - in 2001.

Another uncut clip from the audio tapes that led to Boyzone No Matter What. The revelation of the series to many viewers seems to be that manager Louis Walsh was the "villain" of the story. I believe there is more to it than that. But these tapes were part of the research for the series, and here's Keith in 2001, ripping into Louis, whom he says he loves nonetheless. Keith told me the same thing at the premiere of the series recently. 

Louis Walsh is undoubtedly one of Irelands most successful music moguls of all time. In a career spanning nearly 50 years, the Mayo native had an ear for talent and an eye for a story, helping him shape pop music history—one headline at a time. But Walsh was no stranger to bending the rules to get his acts noticed and has come under renewed flack after his appearance on a new docuseries ‘Boyzone: No Matter What' chronicling the rise of one of Irelands greatest pop exports, and for better or worse, his hand in their success. Just how did a small-town manager build a global sensation, and would it have worked any other way? Copy: From Boyzone, to Westlife, to The X Factor and beyond, Louis Walsh is undoubtedly one of Irelands most successful music moguls of all time. In a career spanning nearly 50 years, the Mayo native had an ear for talent and an eye for a story, helping him shape pop music history—one headline at a time. But Walsh was no stranger to bending the rules to get his acts noticed and has come under renewed flack after his appearance on a new docuseries ‘Boyzone: No Matter What' chronicling the rise of one of Irelands greatest pop exports, and for better or worse, his hand in their success. In the documentary, he reveals that he used to sell stories about Boyzone to tabloids to keep them in the public eye, including ­rumours, such as one that Baby Spice and Stephen Gately were dating. If they “got the front page”, he said, he was happy. Lynch recently said: “We've always known the way Louis Walsh operates. And in fairness to him, Ireland and the name Louis Walsh, he's a big name and a big fish in the music industry. Was his puppeteering of the press a necessary evil, or can the highs and lows of Boyzone act as a cautionary tale to a music industry still under scrutiny for how it treats its young stars Today on the Indo Daily Fionnán Sheahan is joined by journalist Ann Marie Hourihane and culture writer Louise Bruton, to discuss how a small-town manager built a global sensation, and ask: would it have worked any other way?

Kate's uncle Gary Goldsmith conveyed his confidence in the exceptional care the Princess of Wales is receiving but refrained from discussing his niece's well-being further due to a "code of etiquette." Entering the Celebrity Big Brother house alongside renowned figures like Sharon Osbourne, Goldsmith found himself in the limelight, especially after Osbourne nominated him for eviction citing a less favorable first impression.During his time in the house, Goldsmith touched on the widespread speculation regarding Kate's health following her abdominal surgery and subsequent withdrawal from royal engagements. When questioned about Kate's whereabouts, Goldsmith subtly deflected, highlighting the importance of discretion. "Because she doesn't want to talk about… The last thing I'm going to do is… there's a kind of code of etiquette. If it's announced, I'll give you an opinion," he stated, reassuring that the Duchess is "getting the best care in the world" and emphasizing the family's priority to rally around her.Goldsmith also addressed misconceptions about Kate's background, expressing irritation at claims of her being "common" and proudly reflecting on his family's ascent to wealth. He candidly discussed the impact of Prince Harry's departure from the royal family, praising Prince William for his openness to reconciliation and suggesting that the Sussexes should be stripped of their titles.Despite being cast as the "black sheep of the Royal family," Goldsmith used his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother as a platform to challenge public perceptions, stating, "It does bother me what the public perception of me is – the black sheep of the royal family. I'm a normal bloke." He expressed no desire for celebrity status but hoped to show a different side of himself through the show.Sharon Osbourne, after nominating Goldsmith for eviction, described him as "awkward" and potentially out of place in the Celebrity Big Brother environment, likening his discomfort to how she would feel in one of his board meetings. Goldsmith, acknowledging the nomination, admitted to feeling "a lot awkward" within the house.Gary discussed Harry and Meghan with TV presenter Fern Britton, admitting his criticism of Meghan. He commended William for his resilience and openness to reconciliation with Harry, amidst efforts to modernize the royal family. Gary's suggestion to strip Harry and Meghan of their titles sparked a reaction from Fern, highlighting the familial discord's emotional toll.Gary criticized Harry and Meghan for their public grievances against the family and subsequent media ventures, questioning their expectation of a warm family reception. He reminisced about the close bond between Kate, William, and Harry before Meghan's entry changed the dynamics, accusing her of creating unnecessary drama.In discussions with Sharon Osbourne, Gary speculated on Harry's eventual return to the UK, expressing hope for national forgiveness. During a candid kitchen conversation on Tuesday night, contestant Louis Walsh inquired if being related to the famous royals was challenging for Gary Goldsmith. Gary shared, "I didn't choose this life; it sort of chose me. And with that came an unexpected level of attention.”“They've dubbed me the 'buncle'—that's a bad uncle. Seems like every family's got one.”Goldsmith opened up about the difficulties of maintaining contact with Kate, "Reaching out to Kate can be challenging, especially now with her commitments to her family, which I deeply respect and admire for prioritizing her children and family."He expressed his admiration for the couple, stating, "In my eyes, William and Kate truly are the linchpins of the royal family."Despite potential concerns from his sister Carole Middleton about his Celebrity Big Brother participation, Gary insisted he didn't need Kate's permission, emphasizing his love and respect for his family while asserting his right to individual opinions.

Welcome to our first ever Right Back At Ya! Book Club episode. It's a new thing we're doing to cross into the world of literature, just like so many of our popstars-turned-authors. For our very first attempt at this spin-off series; we're speaking with respected pop music journalist and author Michael Cragg, who released his first book - the very 'right up our street' - "Reach for the Stars - 1996-2006: Fame, Fallout and Pop's Final Party", which is now available in paperback. Hello, Christmas stocking filler! This 'pop bible', as hailed by Joel, is a super fun look at the golden years of pop from Spice Girls through to the dawn of the reality show eras of Pop Idol, Popstars and The X Factor. Michael has literally spoken to so many legends in this book, including members of Spice Girls, 5ive, Steps, Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Blue, as well as hitmakers like Brian Higgins and Miranda Cooper of Xenomania, Richard X, MNEK, and industry legends like Peter Lorraine, Pete Waterman, Louis Walsh and... our very own Joel and David. Michael chats with our RBAY boys about his process in putting together this incredible pop oral history, and spotlights three songs by three artists he spoke with for the book.

Join us on heartfelt journey through the story of Boyzone, including Beth's first love, Ronan Keating. We begin with the 1993 auditions arranged by Louis Walsh, which brought together Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch, Keith Duffy, Stephen Gately, and Mikey Graham to form Boyzone. We talk about how Colin Farrell was almost a part of the group! There is also discussion of that embarrassing appearance on the Late, Late Show. If you haven't seen it, you really need to! We talk about the group member who originally failed their audition but was added to the band after two original members were left. Of course, we find out what ever happened to those two! There is an amazing moment as we find out how something about Beth's childhood which Jimmy finds hilarious. After the group went on a break, Ronan Keating embarked on a successful solo career. After saying he couldn't see himself as part of Boyzone again, we look at what concert changed his mind. The episode sheds light on Boyzone's remarkable reunion and their decision to continue their musical journey, paying homage to their past while looking toward the future.  Tragedy struck with the sudden and devastating loss of Stephen Gately in 2009. We honour his memory and explore the profound impact his passing had on the band. Finally, we catch up with the other members of Boyzone — Shane Lynch, Keith Duffy, and Mikey Graham — and explore their post-Boyzone endeavours, highlighting their diverse career paths and the impact they've had individually. This episode is a nostalgic and touching look back at a band that not only shaped an era of pop music but also proved that enduring friendship and music can withstand the tests of time. Join us as we celebrate the incredible story of Boyzone and the lasting legacy they've created in the world of music. Spoiler alert - Beth never did get to marry Ronan.
