Description: A heady mix of thrills and heartbreak I enjoyed it so so much Graham Norton What Macmanus has managed to do with London and what London means to different generations of Irish people is terrific and deeply moving Roddy Doyle I'm a Londoner now. I'm a voice in the noise. I'm ready. It's the turn of the millennium and landing in London with nothing but her CD collection and demo tape Orla Quinn moves into a squalid Kilburn house with her best mate and a band called Shiva. Orla wants to make music but juggling two jobs and partying every night isn't helping. Back in Ireland her parents marriage has crumbled she's not speaking to her father and her mother and sister are drinking too much. While Orla's own dreams seem to be going nowhere Shiva are on the brink of something big. But as the hype around the band intensifies so does the hedonism and relationships in the house are growing strained. This is the story of a young woman thrashing through life trying to find home in a strange new place. It's also a story about music: how it can break you down and build you back up again and how to find your rhythm when all you hear is noise.
