Raving Through the Ceasefire: Ciarán McMenamin on 'Skintown'

Dray chats to actor and writer Ciarán McMenamin about Skintown, his semi-autobiographical story of youth, rave culture and escape in 1990s Northern Ireland. Set in Enniskillen during the summer of the 1994 IRA ceasefire, Skintown captures a generation more concerned with music, friendship and getting to the next rave than the divisions they had inherited. They discuss the real experiences that inspired the story, the role rave culture played in breaking down sectarian barriers, and why music offered young people a rare sense of freedom at a pivotal moment in Northern Irish history.
