"The Boys and Girl From County Clare"
2005
Directed by John Irvin

A charming Celtic comedy from British filmmaker John Irvin, this loving paean to fiddle reels and pints of stout stars Colm Meaney as a Liverpulian musician who rounds up his band for a run at the All-Ireland Traditional Music Championship in County Clare, Ireland. Performing is the least of the fiddler's problems, however, as he's forced to square off against his estranged brother (Bernard Hill) and an ex-flame (Charlotte Bradley). "An irresistible Irish comedy, lovingly told, beautifully acted and graced with the perfect balance of chuckles and bittersweet heartache" (Chicago Tribune).  90 minutes.
