LOGLINE
The extraordinary love story between Irish musician Liam Clancy and Diane Guggenheim, America’s richest heiress and his friendship with Bob Dylan.
SHORT SYNOPSIS.
The Clancy Bros. and Tommy Makem were bigger in the USA in 1963 than the Beatles. Bob Dylan to this day claims that Liam Clancy is the best ballad singer he ever heard.
Yet they may never have existed if it wasn't for Diane Hamilton (Guggenheim). She was a wealthy American divorcee with money and influence, and she loved music.
In the mid 1950's she toured Ireland, searching for talent for her new record label, and discovered, amongst others, Liam Clancy and Tommy Makem.
As a result, Liam found himself in the USA, aged 20, learning the music and acting business, courtesy of Diane.
