[AG TAISTEAL SIAR]
TRAVELLING BACK explores the rich musical heritage of Ireland’s Traveller community, a driving force in Irish music since the 1960s ballad boom. The film features intimate interviews and spellbinding performances from Kathleen Keenan, Sarah Dunne, Sharyn Ward, Niamh Dunne and Steo Wall, among others, alongside original poetry written by Martin Warde. With tributes to legends like Pecker Dunne, Felix and Johnny Doran and Maggie Barry, as well as reflections from artists like Damien Dempsey and Liam Ó Maonlaí, this documentary uncovers a legacy long overlooked but deeply embedded in Irish cultural identity.
