about
The Ghost Who Walks is the pseudonym of Neil McCormick, the chief music writer for the Daily Telegraph. Neil began his musical career at school, falling in love with rock and roll, fame, fortune and suffering from delusions of grandeur. By his own admission, he had "the Bug". Unfortunately, he attended Mount Temple School, which also gave birth to the biggest rock band of modern times, U2. In 2004, McCormick wrote the autobiography 'I Was Bono's Doppelganger' ('Killing Bono' in the US), coming to terms with the chasm of fortune between himself and his classmates. "I did have a life before U2" it begins. McCormick's musical career was not without success, with stints as the frontman or bassist of a succession of bands with his brother Ivan on guitar. Shook Up!, Yeah! Yeah! and the Modulators (featuring Larry Mullen Jr on drums) rallied a strong, mobile fan base who followed each band passionately, and each outfit garnered some positive press. However, commercial success never followed, often through no fault of the band members themselves. Meanwhile, Neil was having real success in journalism, having joined the Irish publication Hot Press as a graphic designer. From here he advanced to feature writing, reviews and band interviews, gaining valuable insight into both the music and media industries. After moving to London, Neil wrote a series of influential features on the underworld, permitted access to Irish gang leader The General, and later The Monk, who superseded The Gen
