Let’s not forget that’s where the Pint Baby clip came from.
Yesterday, a Peaky Blinders fan account on Twitter came across am RTÉ clip of the Cork actor when he was just 19 and playing in a jazz band and how music has changed.

If RTÉ have any more Cillian Murphy videos lying around the archive, it’s safe to say the public want them lashed up for consumption as soon as possible.
