Song of Granite

SONG OF GRANITE is a critically acclaimed, lyrical and unconventional profile of the life of the complex and enigmatic Joe Heaney - one of the greats of traditional Irish singing (sean nós), and the country that made him. Shaped by the myths, fables and songs of his upbringing in the west of Ireland in the early 1900s, the film charts Heaney’s emergence as a gifted artist and how his career success came at a personal cost as he journeyed from rural Connemara through Glasgow and eventually to New York City.

Screening as part of the Pat Collins Season.

“An intoxicatingly odd ode to Joe Heaney.” The Irish Times
