Damian Corless takes us back to a time where pop music was finding it difficult to penetrate through a wall of conservatism and traditionalism. Confronting social movements, matters of equality, and shaking up conservatist thinking, Damian talks us through the State’s ill-fated war on pop music. Damian Corless is an Irish author, playwright and scriptwriter. He has penned more than a dozen volumes on Irish history and culture.
