Now Press Play takes you to the outer reaches of music and film that is The “Norn Iron” pop video. Do you know your Johnny Loughrey from your Mama’s Boys? Where were you when Willie Drennan’s Lambeg Boogie dropped? Have you ever truly experienced Lisburn until you’ve seen hip-hopper Jordan Castle’s videographic love letter (surprisingly  entitled “Lisburn”)?  Just who are the children referred to in the Rev William McCrae’s comeback hit “Where are the Children?”, and where are those children now?

All these questions and more will be answered by Joe Nawaz – your host for this personal odyssey. One question though remains naggingly elusive… Was Joe himself plucked from obscurity at the age of 13 to star in a Dana video? Join us for this celebration of the wayward history history of the NI music video, with a little intrigue thrown in for good measure…
