Series Information
In an era when physical records – mainly vinyl, but also CDs and even cassettes – are making an against-the-streaming-tide comeback worldwide, in For The Record, a brand new and unique format for RTÉ Gold, major music-fan and TV & radio producer and presenter, Pat O’Mahony visits the homes of seven Irish celebrities who, like him, have over the years amassed significant hard-copy record collections.
While rummaging through their shelves he hears the music from and the stories behind not only their first, favourite and most recent acquisitions, but also any regrettable impulse buys and howling misjudgements, all the while discussing the varying importance of music to them at different points in their lives and the joy collecting and playing records has brought them.
