Overview: Jimmy Rabbitte, just a thick-ya out of school, gets a brilliant idea: to put a soul band together in Barrytown, his slum home in north Dublin.

Overview: Robbie attempts to move out of his parents house but soon realizes that renting in Dublin isn't as simple as he thought. Accompanying him on his journey are his piggy bank and the voice narrating his life.
