S2: Mollie
<p>Mollie’s story is about the power music has to unite all of us, regardless of our political, social, and religious backgrounds. Music Is Mollie’s lifeblood. Living in a small town in Northern Ireland she believes that music plays a powerful role in how she, and other young people, are navigating growing-up in the post-troubles generation. Although she hopes conflict and violence are behind them, Mollie is aware of residue tensions but thinks it is music that allows people from all sides to come together. As Mollie learns from talking to her mum who lived through it, the legacy of the 1970s punk scene connected people from the different communities in Northern Ireland in the most difficult times. Now over 20 years since Good Friday Agreement, she reflects on how her generation are trying to leave the past behind and are taking the lead to move things forward both politically and creatively. In conversation with BBC Radio 1/Radio Ulster broadcaster Gemma Bradley, Mollie highlights how the music scene in Northern Ireland is breaking down barriers and providing positive experiences for young people. Mollie hopes by sharing her story she can show a side of Northern Ireland that has been overlooked because of violence and stereotypes often portrayed in the media.</p>
