Description

Eamonn Holmes reports from the home of Pastor Bill Dunn as he puts on some Ozzy Osbourne on his television. The Elim minister knows something of the music business himself, as he was once a member of the 1960s Belfast rhythm and blues band Them, alongside Van Morrison. In early 1986, however, Pastor Dunn is concerned about a concert being put on in East Belfast by the ex-Black Sabbath frontman.

It's ok for the heavy metal singer to fly in and out and make a lot of money, he says, but he would leave the audience with "certain things throbbing inside their memory banks". He believes that Northern Ireland has enough problems without the powers of darkness and that Osbourne is an agent for the devil.
