The featured cocktail for this post-screening discussion is The Irish Whiskey Ginger.
Jimmy Rabbitte, just a thick-ya out of school, gets a brilliant idea: to put a soul band together in Barrytown, his slum home in north Dublin. First he needs musicians and singers: things slowly start to click when he finds three fine-voiced females virtually in his back yard, a lead singer (Deco) at a wedding, and, responding to his ad, an aging trumpet player, Joey “The Lips” Fagan.
In this episode, Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival Operations Director Jonathan C. Legat (co-host) is joined by Cinema Centennial Program Director Tricia Legat (co-host), Executive Director Michael Noens (producer), and special guest Mary Shields.
Remember to imbibe responsibly! If you haven't seen 'The Commitments,' watch the film before you listen to the episode.
