Jim Reilly

Jim Reilly is the brother of Thomas 'Kidso' Reilly, a Belfast music roadie who was tragically killed by a British soldier during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. In a recent episode of the documentary series Aistear an Amhráin, Jim reflects on the impact of his brother's death and the subsequent trial that followed, where he witnessed his brother's name being tarnished in court. Jim is also known for his musical career as the drummer for the punk band Stiff Little Fingers, which has roots in Belfast's vibrant music scene.
