Not for the first time, Al Porter is riffing on a memory. “I found this clip of me on Gerry Ryan when I was 12,” he says, going a mile a minute as he recalls one of his earliest roles in a childhood production of Bugsy Malone.
“I listened to it in the car the other day, and Brenda Donohue says, ‘Gerry, I’ve got a young man here from Tallaght, he’s 12 years old, his name is Alan Kavanagh, and he’s playing the part of Knuckles. Say good morning, Gerry.’
