Dublin of the 1960's. A heady and joyous fusion of music, the arts and radical politics. No one person epitomises that era more than Luke Kelly of the Dubliners. Ten years after his tragic death at the age of forty-three, Des Geraghty - a friend, musician and fellow Dubliner - wrote a personal memoir of the singer-socialist, drawing on the memories of Luke's family, friends, other musicians and political activists.

Luke Kelly gave voice to the pride, hope and aspirations of a generation. His legacy is still felt in his city, his country and wherever folk music is valued.
