In his new 350 page book, Cahal Dunne (Ka-Hal Dun) tracks the progress of a young man from Cork City: choir director, music teacher, and showband musician, to seminal Celtic rocker, Eurovision-acclaimed songwriter, and US citizen since 1983. The musicians and their girlfriends, love affairs and relationships, broken hearts and mended hearts are all described as only an Irishman passionate about his chosen career can do. He does this through a series of interwoven vignettes, some hilarious, and some heart wrenching, but all vastly entertaining. The natural flow of his Cork brogue shines through in all his stories, as he tells about various band mates and their peccadillos, some shady managers and agents, (some decent, and some not so decent.) He brilliantly weaves some Irish history throughout the story and the impact it still had in 1970’s Ireland. Cahal spins wonderful yarns about the band’s travels through Ireland and Europe in a beat-up old van.
