Rian Keating is a bit of a surprise. He totally sneaks up on you when you least expect it. A seemingly shy, quiet, unassuming man who is seen in the audience at every nightclub act and cabaret show in town, he always greets you warmly, with a sincerity that is refreshing in a jaded world filled with cynicism and people working an angle. He asks for no more than to be allowed the pleasure of your company, the privilege of supporting your artistry, and the occasional piece of trivia that he has tucked away for just the right moment. Then comes the surprise.
