VIDEO: Malden Man Lands Interview with Dropkick Murphys Singer
Local video editor Michael Cloherty conducted the interview on his YouTube program, "Beer Bloggles."
A Malden man's YouTube show got a shot of star power last month, after landing an interview with a local punk music legend.
"Beer Bloggles" host Mike Cloherty produces the show as an occasional hobby, but still managed to get some face time with Dropkick Murphys singer-bassist Ken Casey.
The show mostly focuses on the Boston beer brewing scene, though Cloherty thought the opportunity to interview a musical idol was too good to pass up.

“Just like craft beer, I am a sports and music fan as well,” Cloherty wrote in an e-mail. “I saw interviewing Casey ...as a combination of all three.
“The (Boston-based) band is so connected to the local sports teams, especially the Red Sox and Bruins...(So) I was able to chat with the leader of a band I admire in this bar filled with old Red Sox memorabilia while I drank a Guinness. Not too bad, huh?”
