Hosted by Clannad's Grammy Award-winning Moya Brennan, the performance documentary features six Grammy Award winners, Academy Award and Golden Globe winners, and three Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Beginning in 1960 with the Clancy Brothers, Music of Ireland - Welcome Home traces the origins of Irish music, and features exclusive interviews with U2's Bono and Adam Clayton, Michael Flatley and Bill Whelan of Riverdance, Live Aid and Band Aid founder Bob Geldof of The Boomtown Rats, Sinéad O'Connor, Pete Seeger, The Chieftains' Paddy Moloney, former Celtic Woman Órla Fallon, Black 47's Larry Kirwan, six-time Academy Award-nominated director Jim Sheridan, the late Liam Clancy in his final U.S. television interview, and many other Irish musicians, scholars, journalists, and producers. Brennan, Enya's eldest sister, conducts intimate interviews that weave a thread of connections and themes, both past and present, that link Ireland's unique and sizable contribution to both the music world and the creative arts - from rock to folk, country to classical, dance, film, and literature. Revealing stories include Seeger's discovery of Irish music, Bob Dylan educating Bono on the Clancy Brothers and the McPeake family, the inspiration behind Van Morrison's music and lyrics, Riverdance's beginnings, and The Chieftains' early days. Never-before-seen performances by U2 and Friends, Clannad, The Dubliners' John Sheahan, Paddy Moloney and Moya Brennan, the McPeake Family, and an authentic Dublin pub session combine with vintage clips of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem and The Dubliners on The Ed Sullivan Show, Judy Collins playing music from the 'old country,' The Pogues and Van Morrison with The Chieftains on RTE's Late, Late Show, and Riverdance's debut at Eurovision to illustrate the full breadth of the Irish musical spectrum.
