The Shiny Red Honda is about growing up in rural Ireland in the
1950/60's, a time of great rural upheaval and change. The creamery,
the horse and cart, cross-road dancing, travelling shows, the
threshing machine...all their days were numbered. Going to school
across the Mass-Path, thinning turnips for a shilling a drill,
watching Audie Murphy and Randolph Scott in films that broke down
half-way through every reel, being an Altar boy and 'fiddling' the
church collection boxes, learning to dance with a broomstick as a
partner...rare memories of an age of innocence. Who flattened Fr.
Sinnott in the sacristy? What was the initiation ceremony at
Flahavans Mills? Who was the trombone player in the band who
couldn't play a note? It is also about dreams and aspirations: a
young man's entry into the world of work, and his brief flirtation
with the music biz. A story told honestly and uncompromisingly. As
it was - warts and all.
