Post Description

Original score for the film 'The Irish in America: Long Journey Home' a film by Thomas Lennon. The film was charged with telling the story of the Irish in America, and Paddy Moloney as Composer, Performer and Executive Music Producer brought some amazing acts together to put musical voice to the old stories: Sinéad O' Connor, Van Morrison, Liam O Maonlaí, Mary Black, Vince Gill, Eileen Ivers, and Elvis Costello. Said Paddy Moloney when approached about taking on board a year's work for the film when working on two other albums at the same time: "I have to do this...Its's part of me."

'Long Journey Home' won a Grammy award for 'Best Traditional Folk Album' in 1998.
