“Songs For While I’m Away” is the story of how a young black boy from working class 1950’s Dublin became Ireland’s greatest rock star.

The film gets to the heart of Philip: the father, the husband, the friend, the son, the rock icon, the poet, and the dreamer. Also included is Thin Lizzy’s famed October 1978 concert at the Sydney Opera House with remixed audio and cleaned-up picture.

Rex’s “20th Century Boy,” along with Sweet, David Bowie, Mott the Hoople, and Roxy Music — so it would appear that Diamond Star Halos would once again find the group returning to the glittering well.
