GUEST,Rich (bodhránai gan cookie) Movie: The Boys and Girl from County Clare (11) RE: BS: 'The Boys and Girl From County Clare' 26 Mar 07


Saw it a while ago. Enjoyed it immensely but thetre are a lot of inside jokes that someone not familiar with traditional Irish music wouldn't get.   For example, the piper taking forever to get ready, the lack of respect for the box player, the van load of people playing bodhrán around one lone fiddler, the one céilí band leader commenting to the girl who played the "bad-ran" that "I bet you know all the tunes".   "Play the tune, not around the tune. Leave the jazz to the Beatles". ....

Still, a great movie.

Rich
