This is the story of Dermot's life so far, from growing up in semi
rural Colchester with his Irish born parents, to landing one of the
biggets jobs in television. Throughout this journey, music has been
a constant companion: a best friend, confidant, a really annoying
sibling, and at times a tormentor. Here Dermot shows that really it
is the songs that choose you., not the other way round. These are
the tracks that have a hold on us because they have become
inextricably linked to the most important moments of our lives and
spark the memories and stories that shape us. With a wonderful gift
for storytelling Dermot describes with humour and brilliant detail,
what it was like to grow up a second generation Irishman in 70s
England. The Pope, rebel songs and Irish dancing were all part of
everyday life, along with the usual brand of chlidhood nostalgia,
like endless summers, freshly cut grass and the occasional dead
animal found in a ditch. Dermot's homelife was filled with music
which was to set the scene for the years ahead. From Irish folk
singer Brendan Shine's Catch Me If You Can to The Smiths, Elbow and
Dermot's hero Bruce Springsteen, in Now Playing Dermot shares with
us his musical DNA.
