    Colm Meaney (Chief O'Brien, ST:NG) continues to charm and prove that he is an excellent actor. This tale of sibbling rivalry, coming of age, and Celli music in 1960's is just charming and has great humor.

    Watch this rollicking tale for the ceili band music and for Andrea Corr's fresh personality. Lots of good Irish fun and comic deviltry with Meaney and Hill, plus scenic shots of the Isle of Man (no, not Clare itself). Not much of a story, but who cares?
