DVD Description
Listen To Your Heart. It's the late '60s and the British Invasion has conquered the world! The Liverpool Sound tops the charts in every country, except in Ireland, where traditional Irish music still reigns supreme! But could the unthinkable happen? Could an upstart Irish band from Liverpool win the All Irish Music Championship for the first time in history? Transplanted Irishman Jimmy McMahon (Colm Meany) and his motley English crew have their hearts set on it. Meanwhile, back in County Clare, Ireland, Jimmy's stalwart older brother, John Joe (Bernard Hill) and his feisty local band are determined to win the trophy for the third year in a row. Meanwhile, Clare's star fiddler, Anne (the radiant music icon Andrea Corr of The Corrs family band), chafes under her mother's rules against dating - especially when her eye lands on Teddy (Shaun Evans), Liverpool's star flute player. They are Ireland's answer to Romeo and Juliet. The film weaves these timeless themes of discord - star-crossed lovers, feuding brothers, narrow-minded parents and rebellious children - with the passion all the characters share for the music they play. And, against a backdrop of amber-lit pubs, narrow streets and sandy shores, the visuals keep pace with toe-tapping soundtrack and reflect the honor and traditions at stake in the competition.

Jimmy (played by Colm Meaney) comes over from swinging (the film is set in the 60's) Liverpool to win the Irish ceilidh band contest, while his brother Johnjoe (played by Bernard Hill) comes from county Clare to reclaim the Ceilidh band title. Anne (Andrea Corr) is Johnjoe's star fiddler, but kept firmly under thumb by her embittered mother Maise (Charlotte Bradley). Trouble ensues, as estranged brother Jimmy attendance rakes up the past, whilst much Irish music is played!
Andrea Corr acts with sincerity and charm. Bernard Hill is charismatic as bachelor Johnjoe. Also Shaun Evans should be commended for keep love struck Teddy genuine and grounded. Boys and Girl from County Clare might not be that innovative but it is a delightful film that is entertaining to watch and worth giving ago. It might just surprise you !
Some very good acting talent (apart from Andrea Corr who should stick to music completely awful performance) were cast in... Read more
