This was one of the most compelling documentaries I have ever watched. Thank you to all who participated. Your thoughts, music, friendships, and values were as attractive as were all who participated. I, too, have a love of music that reaches into my soul, touches it like a butterfly, and impacts me as if struck by lightning. I was especially taken with the thoughts of Luka Bloom, as well as his sister. Thank you again, one and all.

Plot summary
Tourists flock to the west coast of Ireland to take in the breathtaking cliffs of Moher, but the real treasure lies in the soulful, acoustic sounds wafting out of pubs and living rooms of Doolin, County Clare. The denizens of this unspoiled coastal village of tight-knit neighbors and unlocked doors revel in the passion and history of their traditional folk songs, using music as a thread through generations to create community, connection and joy.

A gem that is cultured, happy, sad, mad and I'm glad I watched it
This documentary engaged me from the very first moment to the last frame. It was beautifully shot in little village of Doolin and the surrounding area. The main characters in it live and breed Irish music, one of the things the English couldn't take from us. I loved the accent and wit of Christy Barry, the concertina playing of. Christy McNamara, the passion of Luka Bloom for the area, his sister Anne Rynne, the stunning voice of Katie Theasby to pick out but a few.
This film deals with the music itself, the passion people have for it, what it means to them and why the are passing it on so that it lives for generations to come.
If you want to get a taste of our music then just listen to Katie Theasby singing: I remember you singing this song. .
