Heyday: The Mic Christopher Story charts Mic’s humble beginnings busking on Dublin’s Grafton Street in the 1980s, his rise to indie rock star in the 90s with his band The Mary Janes, the near fatal accident that left him millimetres from death, through to his final year when he was among a new generation of Irish musicians to taste success.
Mic's one and only album, Skylarkin', was posthumously released in 2002.
