Movie Summary
British filmmaker John Irvin directs the musical comedy drama The Boys From County Clare. Set in the late 60s, the story involves a pair of rival brothers reuniting for the All-Ireland Traditional Music Competition in County Clare, Ireland. As defending champion John Joe (Bernard Hill) gets his local Celtic band ready to compete, his estranged brother, Jimmy (Colm Meaney), blows into town from Liverpool with his own band. John Joes pianist, Maisie (Charlotte Bradley), isnt happy to see Jimmy, who had left her years ago to raise their daughter, Anne, all by herself. Now the towns star fiddle player, Anne (Andrea Corr of the Irish pop group the Corrs) goes against her mothers wishes in order to seek romance with Jimmys flute player Teddy (Shaun Evans). The Boys From County Clare was shown at the 2003 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
