Very excited for the release of this film for three reasons, not in particular order:  a) Patrick Cassidy is a truly gifted with writing beautiful, moving compositions, b) I had a wonderful time singing for him on a few of the pieces he has written, it was an honor and a challenge; and c) Brendan Gleeson is one of my most favorite actors ever, he brings soulfulness to every role, and he can take the most complex, conflicted characters and bring a sense of earnest dignity to his character's plight....oh and d) I really do love almost everything Irish.  People who sing songs over wine or pints or tumblers whenever they meet together for a party are the saving grace of humanity!
