PREMIERE OF NEW FEATURE LENGHT DOCUMENTARY ON MARTIN HAYES
Galway Film Fleadh, Town Hall Theatre, Wednesday 11 July, 5pm
Filmed over a two-year period, Art O Briain’s documentary is an important and evocative exploration of an icon of Irish music who is playing a pivotal role in its evolution in the 21st century.
The film is a musical journey into the heart and style of one of contemporary Ireland’s great traditional fiddlers, Martin Hayes. We travel with him to his home county of East Clare, to the U.S., to Japan and we see and hear him in informal and concert settings. The film reveals a fascinating character; an eloquent and articulate champion of the old and the new in Irish music, blending striking images of Irish nature with sensitive and diverse settings for his exquisite playing.
