First there was the music. Keith Donald was always looking to escape.
Music offered the first exit. Then came drink.
Keith Donald was abused as a child by his headmistress. He found that jazz had the power to transform his existence.
As a teenager he began to play music wherever he could. He played for a band on the Twelfth and toured the country with showbands.
On Free State today Keith Donald talks about the music and the mayhem and how he found peace. He speaks about founding Moving Hearts and why even now music has the power to transform.
