About this listen

This episode takes us inside the struggle at the top of the music tree.


We learn why some massive Irish bands failed to make a cent from their careers despite their songs raking in millions. Dave Browne from Picturehouse explains why Sunburst may have been a hit, it wasn't for them financially.


The 1990s sees much of the 80s promise melt away as bands begin falling away one by one. Mary Black reveals why she refused to make it even bigger than she did, while Daragh O'Toole explains how a call from Adam Clayton led him changed his path.
