Bp Fallon has always lived at the heart of rock history. From his beginnings on Irish television, to his adventures in London's electric rock scene, Fallon was everywhere – working for the Beatles, whispering in the ears of legends like Led Zeppelin, T. Rex, and U2. He wasn't just a witness to rock history; he was the guy making it happen backstage.  Then, in a twist worthy of a rock 'n' roll fairytale, Bp grabs the mic in his 70s, recording raw, poetic tracks with none other than Jack White. After a lifetime in the shadows of giants, the eternal hipster finally takes centre stage – and owns it.
