Celebrated Irish dance artist Colin Dunne confronts the music of virtuoso Irish fiddle player Tommie Potts (1912—1988), whose iconic 1972 album The Liffey Banks—heralded for its melancholy and irregular rhythms—is widely considered unfit for dance. 

Collaborating with director Sine´ad Rushe and composer/sound designer Mel Mercier, Dunne delivers a masterful solo performance and embodies the singular, complex recordings with an innovative style as evocative and idiosyncratic as Potts’s own.
