From Muzu to Mojo, Steve Jobs to U2, Sean-nós to pop music, this book of essays from Colm Ó Snodaigh provides a fascinating insight into the life of the musician. He sees connections between the most unlikely things e.g. Ronnie Drew and The Ents from Lord of the Rings! The thread between those connections is always music.
Collected from his monthly contribution to the Irish language magazine, Beo.ie the book is lavishly decorated with photographs from both the author himself and the Argentinean Marcelo Biglia.
It is Colm's third book and this fine collection of essays brings together works of great maturity as he deals with some of life's great issues. The first of the essays, An Ghaoth Aneas (The Southern Wind) was previously published in Sunday Miscellany – A Selection from 2006-08, having been aired on radio in 2007.
