Johnny Lappin, one of Ireland's most distinguished music publishers and a driving force behind some of the nation's most successful musical exports, is here to enlighten readers with his memoir, "In a Lifetime: From Hozier to U2 [https://www.amazon.com/dp/179664403X]."

With over 45 years of experience in the music industry, Lappin's story is a compelling narrative that blends personal insight, industry history, and captivating anecdotes from his illustrious career. This book serves as a rare insider's guide to the complex world of music publishing while also shedding light on the incredible evolution of Irish music from its local roots to global acclaim.

In In a Lifetime, Lappin offers an unfiltered view of the Irish music industry's transformation over four decades, detailing his pivotal role in shaping the international careers of artists like Clannad, Celtic Woman, Picture This, and Grammy-nominated Hozier. Known for his tenacity, strategic thinking, and passion for preserving the integrity of Irish music, Lappin shares the untold stories behind iconic tracks such as Theme from Harry's Game and Hozier's Take Me to Church. He provides readers with a front-row seat to the high-stakes negotiations, relentless lobbying for artists' rights, and the delicate balancing act required to navigate an ever-changing global music landscape.

Music publishing has been Johnny's lifelong passion, and this memoir is not just a reflection on his career but a celebration of the talent, creativity, and resilience that define Irish music.

Johnny Lappin's career began in the late 1970s, a time when the Irish music scene was just beginning to find its footing in the global arena. He co-founded Scoff Records, one of Ireland's first independent rock labels, and later became a founding Director of IMRO (Irish Music Rights Organisation). His strategic foresight and unwavering dedication have made him a key player in the success of numerous Irish acts, and his influence continues to shape the industry today through his ongoing work with the Mechanical Copyright Society of Ireland (MCPSI) and the Music Publishers Association of Ireland (MPAI).

"In In a Lifetime [https://www.amazon.com/dp/179664403X]," reflects on the evolution of music publishing, from the days of vinyl and cassettes to the digital era of streaming and downloads. Lappin discusses the shifting dynamics of the industry, the battles for fairer copyright laws, and the ever-present need to protect the rights of songwriters. His book is not just a memoir-it's a testament to the power of music, the importance of artistic integrity, and the crucial role of publishers in nurturing and sustaining the creative community.

Praised for its candid and engaging narrative, In a Lifetime is a must-read for music enthusiasts, industry professionals, and anyone curious about the stories that shaped Ireland's rich musical heritage.

Johnny Lappin's memoir is now available in print and eBook formats on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/179664403X, and an audiobook version is set for release in the upcoming future.
