Description: Paddy O'Brien gives his account of growing up as a budding musician in County Offaly in the 1950s and 1960s. That was a time when the social life of the Irish countryside often took place around the fireplace, where stories were told and music was played. This is the story of how a young musician absorbed his surroundings while developing his own distinctive musical style.
