Normally,the criteria for writing songs for a musical is: “Write me the best song in the world”,’ says director John Carney, who knows what he’s on about having gifted the world Once (2007) and Sing Street (2016). ‘Flora and Son was different because Flora’s not a player. I didn’t want it to be, “Flora from the flat ends up winning the Grammy.” That’s corny. I wanted to tell a story about how music is an inner struggle, and it connects family, or disconnects family, or it helps you to think about things. Music’s not all about being a pop star.’
