A cinematic portrait of Dónal Lunny, legendary musician and cultural pioneer, tracing his groundbreaking journey through Irish traditional music and revealing how his life and artistry helped shape the sound of a changing nation.

The Bothy Band, Ireland's foremost traditional music band reunite for a special documentary. The Bothy Band burst into life in late 1974 and although their star radiated for barely five years they released 4 albums to wide critical acclaim.

This documentary celebrates the bringing together of two very different musical traditions: the drumming techniques of the Kodo Drummers of Sado Island, Japan, and the traditional Ir ish music performed by Donal Lunny and Coolfin. Having invited Donal Lunny and his band to play at the 1996 and 1997 Earth Celebrations on Sado Island, The Kodo Drummers made their first trip to Dublin, Ireland, in July 1998 to perform a series of concerts with the Donal Lunny Band. From barely audible pianissimos to earth-shattering explosions of sound, Kodo masterfully combine pr imal energy with virtuoso refinement.
