With current members that include local farmers, carpenters, teachers, civil servants and businessmen, fathers, sons and grandchildren; the choir represents a vibrant cross-section of the community and a diversity of authentic contemporary voices. This intimate documentary follows the life of the choir over an 8-week period; charting its weekly trials and tribulations - under Peadar's watchful direction - culminating in a historical visit to the renowned island of Iona in Scotland with President Michael D. Higgins in the year of the choir's 50th anniversary. This is the third film in Dónal Ó Céilleachair's 'Irish Music Trilogy' that includes 3-TRIÚR (2012) and Aisling Gheal (2013). See less
