Rebel Sounds: Music as Resistance by Joe Mulhall (PB) ✓ In Stock

Description While the global history of the dictatorships, oppression, racism and state violence over the last century is well known - the role that music played in people's lives during these times is less understood. This book is a collection of stories and hidden histories about how music provided light in the darkest of times over the past century. How it steeled souls and inspired resistance to oppression. Rebel Sounds will explore freedom songs in the Republic of Ireland, the Soviet Union's oppression behind the Berlin Wall, authoritarian dictatorships in Brazil and Nigeria, institutionalised racism and police violence in America and South Africa, street violence in Britain, ethnic cleansing in the Balkans and musical resistance in war-torn Ukraine. This is a social history of the twentieth century but one that takes in the human impulse to create, share and enjoy the one thing that connects cultures and spans generations: music.

In Dublin’s Fair City: Discovering Dublin, Discovering Music ✓ In Stock

In a voyage of discovery and adventure, we visit the iconic areas of The Liberties, Monto, Temple Bar and a place called Hell. Walking down memory lane, we visit ‘the Tivo’, The Pillar, the Theatre Royal, the Zhivago, the Dandelion Market, Reed’s Cutlers, the ‘Bots’ the ‘Fifteen Acres’, the home of the ‘Black Stuff’ and the ‘City of the Dead’. Famous characters include Zozimus – ‘The Blind Bard of the Liberties’; Dean Swift – ‘The Monarch of the Liberties’; Rosie of Moore Street, ‘Sticky Fingers Brabazon’, ‘Dublin’s Invisible Prince’, Bang Bang, Spud Murphy, ‘the Shaking Hand of Dublin’, Lugs, Darkey Kelly, the Diceman, Piano Mary, Lily of the Lamplight, Johnny Fortycoats and Biddy Mulligan – the Pride of the Coombe. Every street tells a story and every stone sings a song. Music is at the heart and soul of Dublin, woven into its life, landscape and fabric. From Molly Malone to Mise Éire, many memorable songs and genres of music are included – signposts to time and tide. MAURICE CURTIS is an Historian, Novelist and author of 20 books on and about Ireland. Some of his best-sellers include THE LIBERTIES IN DUBLIN – Steps, Stones and Stories; TO HELL OR MONTO – The Story of Dublin’s Most Notorious Districts; THE LITTLE BOOK OF RATHMINES and SONGS AND STRINGS – An Odyssey Through Music.
