Mama's Boys were a 1980s hard rock/heavy metal group from County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland featuring the three McManus brothers Pat, a.k.a. "The Professor", (guitar and occasionally fiddle), John (bass and vocals), Tommy (drums). Later in their career they became a four-piece adding Rick Chase on vocals in 1985 who was later replaced by Keith Murrell in 1987 due to Rick's ill-health. Keith was later replaced with Mike Wilson in 1989.
The McManus brothers, who grew up on a farm near the village of Derrylin, Co. Fermanagh, started off their musical career as award winning traditional Irish musicians, but were inspired by the Irish celtic rock band, Horslips, as well as younger brother Tommy’s passion for the drums to form a rock band. In the late 70s the brothers had become big fans of Horslips and attended their gigs at every possible opportunity. They eventually got to know and became friends with the band members. It was around that time that they started their own band which was originally called Pulse before they changed it to Mama’s Boys. Barry Devlin of Horslips heard about their band and went to see them rehearse at their home. He was suitably impressed and offered them a support slot for Horslips’ 1979 tour.

Akshat Verma, the creative mastermind behind the Bollywood hit movie Delhi Belly, talks about the power of film to change people's lives. It took the Indian-born, Los Angeles-based screenwriter Akshat Verma some 15 years for his film script to see the light of day, but when it did it was a runaway success. Delhi Belly has become widely known as the Bollywood version of the Hangover movie. Here Verma talks about "bisociation", or the bringing together of elements that have previously not been brought together. Verma explores the question: "what is an Indian film?" and how the power of film lies in the various creative disciplines it embodies. Help us caption & translate this video! http://amara.org/v/CHZk/
