Steal Away Documentary
This documentary, directed by Jessica Leen from Bold Lip productions, captures the National Ukrainian Choir’s journey to the rerecording and performance of Phil Coulter’s song ‘Steal Away’ in 2023.
The song, originally written by Coulter 41 years ago, tells the story of a couple who escape from the Troubles, and offers many parallels with the situation Ukrainians experience today.
The National Ukrainian Choir was established in February 2023 and is made up of 39 Ukrainians who had recently fled war and arrived in Ireland. They were invited by Local Development Companies to join the choir in their local communities as a wellbeing initiative and an opportunity for socialising.
The journey to releasing and performing the song, from the creation of the choir, rehearsals across the country, the launch of the single, and the overall impact of the initiative on choir members, forms the subject of the documentary.

Wow, how moving was that? Thanks so much, one of my favourite songs since I heard the Fureys doing it 30 odd years ago.
Love it! Just Beautiful!
We must not forget the Ukraine people nor Israel people

A song written and sung by a Derry man with such heart I am not Irish by birth but my granny’s were and my grandad Docherty I feel Irish being brought up in St. Patrick’s parish Edinburgh. I have been to Ireland many times and I love the music and my heart is Irish xx
Beautiful. Great to see Phil support you as we all do here. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 from Ireland 🇮🇪.
The cross road of two different countries, Thank you so much.
Thank you all for your love of music and country.
Wow amazing ❤
When the dust is settled, the advisers and helpers are resting and the Captains and the Kings stop their struggles there is the quiet of the night where the clock's relentless ticking seems to stop, quietly fading and there is this where Celt meets Hutsul with Cossack and the insanity is overcome for a time.
What great Voice ❤ Thank 🎵 you 🎵
Wonderful performance.
Oh my word ... one of my very favourite songs from Phil ... and to hear it with this Ukrainian choir ..... pure magic ... such a wonderful sound.... very powerful ....
Just wonderful great to hear it sung in their own language. They are very welcome here. God bless 😊
Well done 2 everyone brillant

Beautiful
Wow In God and Decency we Stand War will Only bring us Together! Evil must never win 👏👏
So beautiful, Thanks Joan for sharing. 🇺🇦🇮🇪
what would be wrong with a russian choir???? A false war sponsored bt Murderous yanks with their lapdogs britan and a false feelgood of welcoming Ukrianians Someone should go find out why this all started
Hope they all find peace
So very beautiful!!
So beautiful, so pleased to hear you PHIL COULTER, your ability to bring out the best in everyone’s voice is fantastic. This song is sung all around the world with such grace
Wonderful . I look forward to the day when Ukraine is free from war and can become a member of EU
I do, too!
That can happen but your government have to let go of any aspirations of becoming a NATO member. Russia won't accept it and rightly so.
@@patrickfarrell5092 Ukraine is an independent country and Russia cannot control it.
Thanks, it lifted me this morning after bad news.
No words! Love this ❤
Absolutely beautiful,well done folks ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely beautiful, Phil Coulter you are such a humble man well dkne to you and the choir,❤
