Just caught up with this on a TV Film Channel and would say it is one of the most riveting music biogs I've seen. Some great old footage too of the old country.

I just borrowed this double DVD from my local library, it's about the life and times of Liam Clancy.

This is an absolute must for any Clancy fan, lots of archive footage of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, lots of interviews, Pete Seeger and Odetta just to name two, and a quite young Bob Dylan saying that Liam was one of the best singers he'd ever heard and Liam, being brutally frank and honest about the things he did and what went on, lots of singing and lots of laughter among the various tragedies, well worth seeing.
