London Breeze Film Festival UK Premiere: The Song Cycle + Q&A + Music

London Breeze is delighted to be partnering with the Irish Cultural Centre and with the support of Culture Ireland to screen the UK premiere of Nick Kelly's documentary feature film, The Song Cycle, which had its world premiere at Galway Film Fleadh last year and won the audience Award at Dublin Film Festival in March 2025.

Veteran musician Nick Kelly sets out to cycle from his Dublin home to the Glastonbury Festival, carrying his guitar on his bicycle and playing shows along the way. He’s accompanied by his long-suffering and sometimes sceptical friend and musical partner, Seán Millar, who tracks his progress by bus and joins him onstage every night. On the day they finally play Glastonbury Nick turns 60, officially outliving his famous politician father. While inspired by environmental concerns, “The Song Cycle” turns out to be about other forms of sustainability too. Ultimately it encourages viewers to keep pedalling, whatever the weather, traffic, hills or humiliations they may face on the road.
We are thrilled to announce that Nick Kelly and his ‘Dogs’ musical partner, Séan Millar will perform a few songs following the screening and Q&A.
