Synopsis

(This is the vivid, elegantly written story of one man s journey into song. In the Sixties the teenage Johnny Duhan went in search of fame and the girl. He fronted a band of innocents called Granny s Intentions, and embarked on a bug-infested, drug-ingested odyssey towards the big time, but before long he arrived at the realisation that the deal was a fraud leading to betrayal and a cul-de-sac.
After the group s demise he reincarnated himself as a songsmith. Best known for his works recorded by Christy Moore, Mary Black, Dolores Keane, Mary Coughlan, the Irish Tenors and a host of others, this fabled songwriter has mapped out his journey in a trilogy of albums: Just Another Town, Don Quixote and Flame. His story begins in Limerick with his mother s breakdown, an event that ended his childhood. A close uncle takes him to the carnival and shows him that the law of gravity can be turned on its head. Then his uncle is jailed for drunken disorder and petty theft, and the world grows heavy again. At fourteen he sets out for Dublin and a Rolling Stones concert, and winds up in a doss house, but he is set on a wavering path to the bright lights. A band is formed, a friend lost, a steady job thrown back in his father s teeth)
