CLUAS Writers: profile of Steven O'Rourke
Having spent his formative years in Kildare, Steve has spent the past seven years in Dublin . While there is no firm scientific evidence that Steve was actually the product of a secret relationship between Richard Dawkins and Carly Simon his obsession with their respective fields of expertise has played an important part in helping him find his feet in the world. Away from music, Steve is happiest when waking up in the morning, spending Septembers in Barcelona and scaring strangers with random Anchorman quotes. Steve also pens the 'Key Notes' blog.
