...little after 5:00 am in my home in Hong Kong when Jerzy Dudek, the Polish goalkeeper of Liverpool FC, saved a penalty from Andriy Shevchenko, a Ukrainian playing for AC Milan. The save ended the most exciting sporting event you will ever see, secured for Liverpool the European soccer championship for the first time for 21 years, and allowed me to breathe. Within seconds, my wife had called from London, and the emails started to flood in - the first from TIME's Baghdad bureau, others from Sydney, London, Washington, New York. In my fumbled excitement, I misdialed my brother...
...Apart from the big, obvious things - love, death, children - most of the really walloping, sock-in-the-stomach emotional highs and lows of my life have involved watching Liverpool.

Now new auditions have turned up Mark McGann, 24, who portrayed the Beatle in the 1981 Liverpool production of the stage musical Lennon. "I wept when I got the role," says McGann. "I grew up in Liverpool just a few miles from where he was born. It's almost spiritual the way John Lennon has become intertwined in my life." Well, he certainly sounds right for the part...
...story begins in the rehearsal rooms of the two brothers, one in a pub in the quiet hills of western Ireland, the other by the rowdy streets of Liverpool. The scenes are as different as can be, if not for the melodies playing in both. Céilí follows the groups on their respective journeys to the contest and the various characters and challenges encountered along the way. The music may be unfamiliar to most viewers, but its rhythm and energy have universal appeal—as the film humorously shows...
