Description
"Johnny "Hollywood" Hogan owns the ballroom on Magnolia Street, where sisters Kate and Shirley Winters, along with other regulars, go every Saturday night - to escape the realities of Belfast life, and in search of fun and romance. Free-spirited Shirley has a mad crush on a boy named Declan Greenwood, while thoroughly modern Kate likes plenty of variety in her wardrobe (and her love life) and is determined to get married before her younger sister. She'll take anyone who'll have her, even that greasy - though not entirely unattractive - mechanic who has been hanging around lately." "The crowd at Hogan's is always lively, but that doesn't mean all problems have been left at the door. Johnny's grandparents worry that he'll retire and shut the ballroom down. Johnny yearns for his old love (and Declan's mother) Marion, while Marion starts to worry that a secret will finally be revealed." It doesn't take long for the ballroom's patrons to discover that even without velvet-lined balconies and crystal chandeliers, the magic of the twinkling lights and soft music will help them find just what they're looking for - whether it be family, friendship, or even true love.
