Recently commissioned by BBCNI, Paradiso is a musical journey to capture the heyday of the Fountain estate, a disappearing protestant enclave in the heart of Derry. We will follow musician Roy Arbuckle's high risk efforts to stage a major music and dance event in the Memorial Hall by inviting formerly divided communities to celebrate the rock & roll and show band eras with people who desperately need to believe they are welcome in a majority nationalist city under the new vision for Northern Ireland.
