Lord Henry Mount Charles inherited a bankrupt estate and against the backdrop of a country in turmoil he created a music festival that would change the world of Irish entertainment forever. But it came at a cost to his health and his marriage and saw him spiral into the depths of alcoholism. Now in recovery he faces another battle with lung cancer.
Featuring rare archive and candid in depth interviews with Lord Henry, his wife Iona, his brother Simon and his children and friends – including Adam Clayton from U2 – nothing is off limits. What emerges is a deeply personal portrait of a determined man who often feels at odds with his homeland. Lord Henry discusses his Anglo-Irish heritage, the Troubles, the concerts, the riots, a death at the Castle, the devastating fire and long and difficult road to restoration. Inspired to set the record straight on his rock and roll life, this is the definitive portrait of one of our most colourful characters.
