The Thrill Of It All by Joseph O’Connor
Told in an oral-history collage of interviews, diaries, and transcripts, this bittersweet story follows a scrappy indie band from its formation in 1980s Ireland through a brief blaze of fame in London and the fractures that follow. As friendships strain and romances falter under the weight of ambition and ego, the narrator reflects on identity, loyalty, and the elation and cost of making art. Wry and tender, it ultimately becomes a meditation on aging, forgiveness, and the enduring power of music to bind people together even after everything falls apart.
