    There’s a stellar team behind this new series: it’s co-created by Stuart Carolan (creator of Love/Hate) and Chris Addison (of The Thick of It), adapted from Caimh McDonnell’s novels and its directors include Addison and Neasa Hardiman.

    Musician and producer Dónal Lunny has had an incredible career. Born in Tullamore, he trained as a silversmith and goldsmith before going into music full-time. And what a life in music he’s had, as this documentary – the first film account of his life, we’re told – explores. For starters, Lunny was a key figure in the folk revival of the 1970s thanks to playing with the likes of Andy Irvine and in the bands Planxty, the Bothy Band and Moving Hearts (among others).
