Episode 2

From the rocky silence of the Burren to the electronic world of a Galway nightclub, Tommy meets Blindboy Boatclub, Galwegian DJ Shampain and poet Mary O'Malley.

In the place he calls home, Tommy continues his journey along one of the world’s most evocative coastlines, bringing a visual feast and fitting tribute to the immense beauty, rich heritage and unique spirit of the west of Ireland. From the rocky silence of the Burren to the electronic world of a Galway nightclub, Tommy meets Blindboy Boatclub, Galwegian DJ Shampain and poet Mary O'Malley and looks at how the west inspires films, art and music.

At times humorous and touching, this is an exploration of the west's epic crooked landscapes and the creativity they provoke. From romantic myths to harsh realities, Tommy takes us on a ramble through the Irish imagination in all its awkward contradictions.
