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.
