• Synopsis

  Malachy Flanagan has just come home to the pub to meet his old friend, Dessie, who has lately returned from America. In the pub the musicians are gathering for a session. A session of traditional Irish Music – jigs, reels and hornpipes. Malachy does indeed meet Dessie but he also meets up with Helen, a girlfriend of one of the musicians, and later Rebecca, a visitor from the USA. The four of them talk and drink and, of course, sing. They talk about everything under the sun – war and peace, life and death, and why the barman has taken such a dislike to Malachy.
