Liam Neeson lent his voice to celebrate Ireland’s poet Seamus Heaney

A short film released by Tourism Ireland, in 2018, celebrates life, literature, and inspiration of Seamus Heaney HomePlace in Derry.

Proud fellow Northern Irishman Liam Neeson has lent his world-famous voice to a new short film which celebrates the life, literature, and inspiration of Ireland’s best-loved poet, the late great Seamus Heaney.

The short film was launched by Tourism Ireland to celebrate the work of Seamus Heaney and to promote the Seamus Heaney HomePlace visitor attraction in Bellaghy, County Derry, the poet’s hometown.

The Neeson-narrated film showcases Seamus Heaney HomePlace, Bellaghy and the beauty of the surrounding countryside and its inspiration for the Nobel Laureate’s work.

The invited audience included influential representatives of the British travel industry and media, as well as members of the Heaney family.
