Winner of the Best Irish Feature Documentary Prize at the 2012 Galway Film Festival, Natural Grace is an intimate portrait of the life and works of the biggest name in Irish traditional music, fiddler Martin Hayes. Following him over a 2-year period, the film recounts his travels across the world. The film journeys with him from his home in East Clare to the U.S. and Japan where he plays in informal and concert settings. Filmmaker Art O Briain reveals Hayes to be an eloquent champion of traditional and contemporary Irish music, and presents striking images of the Irish landscape as a backdrop to his exquisite music. A must-see for all lovers of Irish music.
