The Boys and Girl from County Clare

Irish comedy. The All-Ireland Traditional Music Competition attracts the best musicians from all over the country and a few from beyond the shores of the Emerald Isle as well.

As John Joe (Bernard Hill) and his band prepare to capture the band trophy with their County Clare jigs and reels, Irishman Jimmy (Colm Meaney) bends his Liverpudlians away from jazz toward the time-honoured strains of Celtic music.

As the musicians make their way towards the competition, trouble rears its head for both sets of challengers.
