Description
What's She Like A Memoir Helen O'Hara's life was marked by a passion for music that began at just nine years old. As she grew, her love of pop music only deepened, leading her to join a progressive rock band at seventeen and eventually become the violinist for Dexys Midnight Runners. The success of their album 'Too-Rye-Ay' brought her fame, but also tumultuous experiences that shaped her story. After Dexys disbanded in 1986, Helen took a break from music to raise her family, a period that lasted twenty-three years. It wasn't until she was ready again that she began the journey to reclaim her love of music and create something new. In this memoir, she finally answers the question posed by one of Dexys' most famous songs: what is she like? Helen O'Hara's story is one of natural talent, dedication, and a willingness to take risks. This is a candid and insightful account of her life, from her early days as a musician to her return to the stage, and offers a unique perspective on the music world of the 1980s.
