An alternative tour of Belfast with a record shop owner and local musical legend. He has grey hair, a glass eye and a wealth of anecdotes. Sometimes he is difficult to understand. People stop to say hello. At the end of the tour he finds a pub that is willing to show us the trailer of the new feature film that is based on his life. The emotion makes him well-up.
On the way out, I thank him and ask my question. 'Named after my uncle who ran in the snow the day I was born', he tells me. Or at least that's what it sounds like. I decide not to ask him to elaborate.
