Have You Never Heard of Bill Fuller? review: An Irish showman with ties to Johnny Cash, a famed Dublin venue, the Mafia and gold digging

The documentary 'Have You Never Heard of Bill Fuller?' explores the extraordinary life of Bill Fuller, a Kerry-born entrepreneur with diverse accomplishments spanning urban development, entertainment, and controversial associations. The film, directed by David Burke, highlights Fuller's role in shaping the Irish music scene through venues like The Electric Ballroom and his management of artists such as Johnny Cash. It also touches on his involvement with the IRA and his mysterious connections to the Mafia. Despite his significant impact, Fuller remains largely unknown, lacking even a Wikipedia page. The documentary features interviews with notable figures like Adam Clayton and Sam Smyth, but leaves many questions about Fuller's motivations unanswered.
