SYNOPSIS

This documentary finds Leo O’Kelly aged 50 and about to make his first solo album of unrecorded songs written over 25 years. Since his debut, aged 14 as a guitarist in a Carlow showband, he has been widely admired by musicians as a brilliant guitarist and song writer and a man of an ever-changing, timeless, eclectic style. The film follows the recording of the new album Glare, produced by Trevor Knight in Temple Bar’s Sun Studio,  documenting the inevitable tensions that arise among creatives and capturing the moments of genuine elation when shared visions are realised. The focus is Leo himself, an intelligently volatile character who blossoms in the presence of McAdam and her crew.
