Power of Dreams released their critically acclaimed first EP A Little Piece of God,[1] on Keith Cullen's London-based Setanta Records in 1989, while Walker was still at school.
In December 1989, the British music magazine NME picked Power of Dreams, along with others such as Carter USM and the Charlatans, as their "stars of tomorrow".
[4] The follow-up album, 2 Hell With Common Sense, was released two years later, produced by Dave Meegan and with a more powerful sound, aided by additional guitarist Ian Olney (ex-Cypress, Mine!).
Olney formed and performed in a number of bands including Temperance Union, Miracle Retreat, Deer Park and Red Atlas, and has been playing bass guitar for Sultans of Ping since 2005.
[9] In December 2010, a further tour of Ireland took place with Sultans of Ping and The Frank and Walters to support the release of a compilation album, 1989: The Best of Power of Dreams, which included a new track.
In March 2011, Keith Walker announced an amicable departure from the band and has gone on to play with Sister Cities,[11] Being Cool Is Lonely and The Holy Coast.
