Song of Granite

Enigmatic and complex, Joe Heaney was one of the greats of traditional Irish singing (Sean Nós). Shaped by the myths, fables, and songs of his upbringing in the west of Ireland, his emergence as a gifted artist came at a personal cost. The film features performances from Colm Seoighe, Macdara Ó Fátharta, Jaren Cerf, Lisa O’Neill, Damien Dempsey, and Sean Nós singers Mícheál Ó Chonfhaola and Pól Ó Ceannabháin. With beautiful black and white cinematography, ‘Song of Granite’ is a distinct portrait of Heaney’s life and a marvellous exploration of music and song.
