Ημερομηνία προβολής: Οκτ 10, 2021

Documentary charting singer-songwriter Ryan McMullan's journey to music stardom. The film is centred around a four-day recording and listening session in Cruit Island, County Donegal, at the end of 2019. The session is an opportunity for Ryan and his team to assess all the songs competing for a place on his album, a potential breakthrough moment in his career. Against this majestic landscape, we get to know Ryan and his artist and mentor Foy Vance, along with manager/drummer Paul ‘Hammy’ Hamilton. They are also joined by producer Eoin O’Callaghan, who has been drafted in to lend a fresh pair of ears to the album. There is also a look at some of the key moments of Ryan’s career to date, including his first meeting with Foy Vance in Washington and how he connected with long-term collaborators Hammy and Foy as his management team, his support tour with Ed Sheeran and his growing links to leading Northern Irish band Snow Patrol.
