In Dublin, Ireland, Derek and Oatespan invited their friend Jimmy to manage their band, and Jimmy advertised in the local newspaper to recruit musicians. The "Dublin Souls" band gradually formed, and its members came from all directions. Joey, nicknamed "Lip", is a trumpeter and a band conductor, and everyone has great hopes for him. At the first plenary meeting of the band, Jimmy introduced the singers who performed the trio: Bernie, Natalie and the charming Amelda, whose singing voices were overwhelming. Joey changed the name of the band to the "obligation" band, while Jimmy strictly stipulated that the band must perform emotional and rhythmic African American music, that is, "soul music." They rehearsed tenaciously and hard. Although their performance at the first jazz concert in the North District Public Hall was rough, they were still very successful. They continue to improve their playing skills. This period of their experience has strengthened everyone's confidence and expectations in life

Long live the music! From this to once to sing street, music and movies have heritage, which is wonderful.

【2019 12th EU Film Festival·Ireland·Dream Chaser(1991)】A feature film directed by The Wall. In Dublin, a trembling, grass-based soul band "Dream Chaser", built on feelings, experienced a summer from a passionate group to a band that disbanded due to infighting. Show up when you're not ready. Disappearing when you don't catch it is not the essence of a dream. The whole movie is filled with the greasy and obscene face of the working-class lead singer, rough, real, and unclean to put it down, but his voice and music are heartbreaking and soul-stirring. In the film, the director complained that Dublin has no soul, but it is not the case. In reality, there are as many as 1,200 orchestras among the millions of people in Dublin. Music is both the present and the other side of Dublin.
