Movie Info

John Joe (Bernard Hill) and his traditional Celtic folk band are ready to defend their championship at County Clare's annual All-Ireland Traditional Music Competition when his prodigal brother, Jimmy (Colm Meaney), returns home from Liverpool with his new band. The sibling rivalry is further complicated by embittered piano player Maisie (Charlotte Bradley), the mother of Jimmy's abandoned child, and the burgeoning romance between rival bandmembers, Anne (Andrea Corr) and Teddy (Shaun Evans).
