Jimmy Rabbitte, just a thick-ya out of school, gets a brilliant idea: to put a soul band together in Barrytown, his slum home in north Dublin. First he needs musicians and singers: things slowly start to click when he finds three fine-voiced females virtually in his back yard, a lead singer (Deco) at a wedding, and, responding to his ad, an aging trumpet player, Joey "The Lips" Fagan.

"🌟8/10🌟 💿💿💿🎵🎶 The #soundtrack is Sooo much fun & it eventually went triple-platinum. I remember immediately buying this CD back in 1991 after seeing & LOVING this movie about this cool, hip, lovable, eclectic & eccentric group of young 20somethings from Dublin, Ireland who come together to form an Irish soul band in the tradition of 1960s African-American recording artists.
Jimmy: “Say it once & say it loud, I'm black & I'm proud.” 🇮🇪🧑🏻🦰🎷… ✊🏿 😆🙃 "
