It all began with Sean Millar, the songwriter. On a long drive, one night, from Galway to Dublin, his friend Aidan decided to tell Sean his life story, and naturally a variety of things came up in that three-or-four-hour-long conversation. Sean, who is a famous singer and songwriter, was so moved by it that he wrote a song based on Aidan’s experience. He brought it to Dominic Campbell of the Bealtaine festival, identifying that this song told a lost story about gay men in the fifties, sixties and seventies.
