The crew of docuseries: 'A proper Pint'
Recently, the north Mayo town of Belmullet, stepped into the spotlight with the American premiere of Kevin Siegert's documentary series, ‘A Proper Pint’.
The series features the picturesque town’s iconic McDonnell's Bar.
On February 10, the US premier of the series, entitled 'McDonnell's Bar and Undertakers', was showcased at The Irish Cultural Centre and McClelland Library in Phoenix, Arizona.
The event was a spectacular celebration of Belmullet's cultural richness, shining a spotlight not only on the town, but specifically on the renowned McDonnell's Bar.
Mairéad Melody Carr, Manager of Mayo North Tourism, praised the documentary for capturing Belmullet's essence, and said ‘this exposure is invaluable for attracting visitors and enhancing the tourism experience in North Mayo’.
Belmullet found itself in the limelight last year when Mamma Mia star, Dominic Cooper, was in town filming 'Cry From the Sea' in Erris. The Hollywood star took the stage and sang karaoke at McDonnell's Bar.
Adding to the excitement, Belmullet 200, a local organisation commemorating 200 years since Belmullet's establishment as a planned town, intends on hosting an Irish premiere and Q&A for ‘A Proper Pint - McDonnell's Pub & Undertakers’ on Saturday, May 4.
The event will coincide with the annual Mayo Day festivities, which are taking place in Belmullet this year.
Earlier in the week, Kevin Siegert, the filmmaker behind the documentary, took to social media to emphasise his excitement to unveil the beauty of Belmullet.
He urged people to ‘join the community for the premiere on Mayo Day and toast its rich cultural heritage’.
The screening proceeds to support both the cultural centre in Phoenix and Turas Siar on the Mullet Peninsula.
Turas Siar provides a valuable local history service and education centred around the Irish language, further highlighting his commitment to local communities in supporting and preserving the cultural fabric of the region.
