Republicanism, trade unionism, the radical political consciousness of Ireland in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the artistry of traditional Irish music are all interwoven in this documentary on the work and politics of Ireland’s foremost traditional musician, Luke Kelly. Combining documentary footage, concert performances, and interviews with Bono, Gerry Adams, and Christy Moore (among others), Luke takes an intimate look at Kelly and the role his music has played in the politics of urban, working class Ireland.
