|  | | | |  | | | | | | | | | This documentary film is to be a musico-archeological “road-documentary” which explores the ancient Irish airs of Co. Derry Harpist Denis O’Hampsey as collected by Edward Bunting.
Led by a group of gifted musicians who are fascinated with the origins of their Irish musical tradition and heritage, this film follows musical instrument maker Séamús O’Kane from Co. Derry and renowned Harp builder Michael Billinge from Co. Cork who are building a replica of one of the most striking historical symbols of Ireland, the Downhill Harp along with Nollaig Brolly, one of the new up and coming female artists in Ireland, who is turning her hand to learning the technics of playing this ancient instrument from renowned Celtic/European harpists.
After a year of hard work and travails, this film culminates in a grand finale Harp concert in the style of The Belfast Harp Festival of 1792.
