Ah ... That's Gas! cover

What has Ireland really been talking about for the last forty years? Those iconic moments, controversies and unexpected fads that we just could not get enough of. From Riverdance to Garth Brooks and Croke Park, Thierry’s hand of God to Theresa Mannion’s unnecessary journeys, and Crystal Swing to moving statues. But did we ever find out who was taking the horse to France?

From the team that brought you The A to Z of Being Irish and A-Z of an Irish Christmas, this is Irish culture with a light touch and lashings and lashings of rose-tinted nostalgia.
