Liverpool born poet and writer Michael Walsh traces his Liverpool roots back to 1865. This was the year his Irish great-grandmother arrived in the Second City of Empire. His parents were born at the turn of what was to become the most tumultuous century in history. Michael's father, Patrick, fought in three major conflicts before reaching his fortieth birthday. His mother, Kathleen, was a former nun turned gun-running renegade.
On leaving school at 15 years of age, Michael spent 12 weeks at the Merchant Navy School for Sailors in Sharpness, Gloucestershire. During his years at sea, he was to visit and work in over 60 countries.
The journalist and broadcaster since provided articles and columns for numerous magazines and international news media. In 2011 he was awarded Writer of the Year by the publishers of Euro Weekly News, Europe's highest-circulation newspaper of its kind. He has authored, edited and ghosted over 70 book titles.

Was the show’s star guest a patsy or maybe he just didn’t care and he likes the flak that even ‘bad’ publicity brings?
Biden gets tangled up in the straps on his bike pedals and greets the ghosts. He has a teleprompter telling him where to go and with whom to talk. Words to be used to engage the audience and press corps are also written. The wife of the head of the United States on Independence Day had to remind her husband to say: ‘God bless America!’
