The Boys And Girl From County Clare

It's the 60's and The Liverpool Sound tops the charts in every country except Ireland, where traditional Irish music reigns supreme. Can an upstart Irish band from Liverpool, led by Jimmy McMahon win the All Ireland Music Championship for the first time in history? Jimmy's estranged older brother, John Joe and his feisty local band are determined to win the trophy for the third year in a row. Meanwhile, County Clare's star fiddler, Anne falls in love with Teddy, Liverpool's star flute player. They are Ireland's answer to Romeo and Juliet. Star-crossed lovers, feuding brothers, narrow-minded parents and rebellious children-all brought together by their love of music. Against a backdrop of amber-lit pubs, narrow streets and sandy shores, the visuals keep pace with the toe-tapping soundtrack and reflect the honour and traditions at state in the competitions.

Starring Colm Meaney, Bernard Hill, Andrea Corr, Charlotte Bradley, Shaun Evans, Catherine Byrne, Patrick Bergin, Philip Barantini

    Disappointing

    Weak story, dreadful script, full of stereotypes and cliches. The romantic leads were inadequate with zero chemistry between them. One final quibble, the film is supposed to be set in the '60s, so why is Kevin Keegan mentioned? He didn't join Liverpool until 1971.

    Top notch

    A gentle feel good comedy from the start. Not a film I would have normally rented but glad I did. Enjoyed it right to the end.
