Plaudits for Keith Forde’s debut release
Limerick singer/songwriter, Keith Forde has been awarded third prize by the prestigious International Songwriter Competition for his debut release ‘Pop Them Pills’. It was entered into the International Songwriter Competition (ISC) which honors amateur and professional songwriters around the world and recognizes excellence in the craft of songwriting with an impressive judging panel made up of the likes of Tom Waits, Steve Winwood, Robert Smith and Frank Black amongst others. The song is a country tinged, Dylanesque tune with a well observed narrative about the effects of a druggy lifestyle on a friendship with someone you once respected and admired.
