Albums by David Bowie, Elvis Costello and Bob Dylan have all had a huge presence in Tom Dunne's life.
Mary Coughlan is talking to me. “I was listening to you last night. Jesus, you know so much about music!” I know this comes from a good place, but I’m having one of those days. I am wondering am I wrong to think so much about music? Did I just not grow up properly?
Theoretically, music is a rites of passage thing. You get into it, it’s important to you, like a first love, but eventually you move on. At some point, on hold for customer service, a child crying beside you, the on-hold music reminds you briefly of something that once, meant, well, everything.
