CLOCH LE CARN: CHRISTY DIGNAM on RTÉ

Christy Dignam

Raised in Finglas on the northside of Dublin, Christy Dignam fronted the rock band, Aslan, for the guts of forty years. A fine story-teller and a terrific frontman and vocalist, he mined those twin gifts to considerable effect, on stage and off. A new documentary, CLOCH LE CARN: CHRISTY DIGNAM, showcases the singer’s extraordinary life and talent and airs Wednesday December 27th on RTE One. His wife Kathryn and daughter Kiera play tribute to him, while fellow musician Fiachna Ó Braonáin and former RTÉ Arts Correspondent Sinéad Crowley honour his legacy with others inspired by his musical talent.

There’s some good writing in this twisty drama which follows the interconnecting stories of the large cast, including teen son Derek (Rhys Mannion) who is developing a fondness for reefer, daughter Caitlin (Katelyn Rose Downey) on the edge of adolescence, and precocious and sickly Niall (Aidan McCann), who is wiser than his tender years.
