Tommy McCarthy and his fiddlers return to the remote isle of Inishbofin to find Liam in different circumstances than where they left him several seasons ago.
In this scandalous sequel to "The Fiddlers of Inishbofin", which is again filled with beautiful traditional & contemporary Irish music, we find Liam abandoned by Fiona as her sister, Enya, returns to bring Liam and the other fiddlers a big surprise!
This romantic comedy introduces new music and musicians, as well as some new blood to the Fiddlers' sessions. Playwright Peter Holm, puts Tommy McCarthy's story & music to stage in a premiere that's just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
All proceeds to benefit Lahey Cancer Care Center.
