Graduation Night by Laurie Shaw
A ten-song musical about teenage abandon in Kenmare, County Kerry.
"I've wanted to make a record like this for ages. It's a musical but instead of the drama happening between the songs, it all takes place within the lyrics. It tells the story of The Narrator, Saffi, Peter, Edith and Katie as they navigate their final year at school in their home town"
