Commentary
: IRISH
JAM remains to be one of the very best scores composed by Guy
Farley. The album combines touching original score recorded at Air
Studios in London (incorporating numerous celtic instruments)
with songs performed by the film's star Anna Friel and
celtic traditionals performed by music group Lunasa. The score
offers numerous themes - the most important being the love theme of
Jimmy (Eddie Griffin) and local owner of the pub Maureen (Anna
Friel). Secondary theme belongs to Maureen's mute daughter
Kathleen - her theme re-appears throughout the album mostly
heard in various whistle solos performed by renowned Tonny
Hinnigan.
Plot
Summary: Jimmy The Jam McDevitt (Griffin) is a Los Angeles
conman getting into all sorts of trouble. He is on the run from his
ex-fiancé (MoNique) who he stood up at the altar and is dodging his
landlord because he cant pay his rent. Jimmy enters a poetry contest
sponsored by a town in Ireland with the hopes of escaping his
troubles. The small Irish town is controlled by a greedy mogul and
the only thing he does not control is the local pub. The villagers
are unable to make the payments to support the pub and decide to
offer a poetry contest with a small entry fee to raise the money
needed to keep the pub. Jimmy wins by plagiarizing a rap song and
submitting it to the locals. As the winner of the contest Jimmy
travels to Ireland to become a first time local pub owner. Maureen
(Anna Friel), a beauty with the voice of an angel, entertains pub
patrons with Irish songs and soon finds herself falling for
Jimmy.
