Trailer

Plot summary

Songs passed from voice to voice rather than fixed on record are what Liam Weldon stands for, and the Irish traditional ballad singer keeps away from self promotion. Only a small number of recordings of him exist. Archive material discovered in recent years, memories from his family, his friends and those who admired him, and performances by other musicians make up the account of his life and of the songs he carried. A younger generation of folk singers keeps that repertory going. His words still circulate among Irish communities abroad, and in Ireland much about him has slipped from view.
