With input from among others U2 front man Bono we see what made Luke Kelly a lasting Folk Icon despite a short and often chaotic life.

One review gave Kelly the highest praise saying "In this definitive films, the music is what eventually remains. And I am now almost completley convinced, in the absence of any new evidence to the contrary, that Luke Kelly was actually the greatest singer of all time. Not the greatest folk singer, bit the greatest singer, ever, of anything, in the history of the world"
