Tax, Drugs and Rock’n’Roll: The years that went whoosh! Brits, hits and Ireland’s cultural revolution

Tax & Drugs & Rock'n'Roll is the story of how an influx of British pop stars in the early 1980s was a significant catalyst in the cultural and social transformation of Ireland. Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Spandau Ballet and Def Leppard were amongst those who descended upon Dublin to endure a year of exile beyond the grasp of the UK taxman.
