"This story of Ireland is laced through with many of the soundtracks of music that defined, reflected, shaped and influenced twentieth-century Irish life, heritage, culture, destiny and identity. Some of the most important events include the shift from colonial status to Irish independence; censorship; the Emergency years; the economy, emigration, poverty and T.B;; the Troubles; feminism and the liberation movement; the Lemass and the Swinging Sixties; the Hughey/Fitzgerald era; the Catholic Church and the confessional state; as well as the campaigns to challenge Ireland's constitutional provisions on marriage, family and life. This is also a story of how independent Ireland impacted on the lives of ordinary, everyday people." - Book cover
