Ireland is currently enjoying a reputation as the source of many of the world's greatest popular musicians in the field of Rock as well as traditional music. As part of series to mark this success, Gallowglass Pictures produced six documentary portraits featuring Altan, Kila and Rory Gallagher amongst others. Altan are recognised as the most successful traditional music group to emerge from the country in the last decade and they have achieved great international popularity success as recording artists. Kila meanwhile, are part of the new breed of Irish traditional groups with a more international feel and a stage performance as powerful as any contemporary rock group. Rory Gallagher is one of the unsung greats of Irish rock music whose early death prevented him from achieving the success his exceptional talent as a rock guitarist deserved.
