This Note's for You - Ep 1

A landmark six part series; TNFY examines popular music through the eyes of the songwriter.
Presented by broadcaster and musician Tom Dunne, this series goes behind the stars and razzmatazz to explore with songwriters their experiences of writing and producing songs; hits that changed their lives or duds that never graced a radio wave. The series explores the origins of their best-known work; how the idea or the melody came about; how the most unpromising tune suddenly clicked into place and turned into something people hum every day on the streets.
The series delves into the mechanics of pop and rock and roll, revealing some of the secrets of popular song writing, exposing the business and the technical skill and hours of work necessary for success; and also how often the elusive elements of luck and coincidence come into play.
The series features the song writing talents of some of Ireland’s most gifted songwriters…
Phil Coulter, Gemma Hayes, Mundy, Declan O’Rourke, Damien Dempsey, Neil Hannon, Mick Hanly, Tim Wheeler, Brendan Graham, Roger Doyle, Liam O Maonlaí, Fiachna O’Braonain and Paul Brady
