Über diesen Titel

In 1970s Ireland, the nation's youth were craving an escape - and music was going to provide it.

Over the course of the next few decades, what had been a gigging backwater was transformed into the centre of the live entertainment universe.

Fields of Dreams tells the story of that remarkable change through the trailblazers who made it happen.


Narrated by singer songwriter Róisín O, this 10-part series chronicles the rise of the festival and the extraordinary local scene that saw many Irish acts touch greatness.

With stories equally hilarious and infuriating, it's a portrait of success and failure and everything in between.

Episodes released weekly every week.



From the producers of the Stardust Tragedy, the Kinahans, This Is Your LOIfe and This Is Robert.

    We get the inside story of some of the biggest gigs in Irish history - and how Roy Keane ended up laying into his Ireland team mates just months before his Saipan meltdown.

    This episode takes us inside the struggle at the top of the music tree.


    We learn why some massive Irish bands failed to make a cent from their careers despite their songs raking in millions. Dave Browne from Picturehouse explains why Sunburst may have been a hit, it wasn't for them financially.


    The 1990s sees much of the 80s promise melt away as bands begin falling away one by one. Mary Black reveals why she refused to make it even bigger than she did, while Daragh O'Toole explains how a call from Adam Clayton led him changed his path.
