Every elder has his or her own particular life story to recall and retell. Drawing on my poems, songs, and life story recordings over many years, I trigger such telling's through this performance, which is built around my father's life experience in the period 1930 until 1960. Readings, recitations, songs, and audience contributions are included.
I'm a former university lecturer in Sociology, and international guest lecturer; in-career course director for overseas teachers. Poet, with 8 published collections.

its sad to see how quiet the roads were it was great. Unfortunately its all gone/
Beautiful songs and outstanding singers.
Only one murder in Southern Ireland in the year 1949. And that murder resulted from a land dispute betreen a brother and a sister.
What's the name of the bird in the bog when the man was cutting the turf
most of these so called saints theres no evidence they ever existed. These wells were were more ancient that Christianity.

Old Ireland will always be fondly rememberd.
Beautiful video

So sad to see what modern ireland has become ,a completely different country and people
Hard times but good times when all friends are like close family
Great film 🙏
Here is one event with a local farmer from County Limerick in relation to Bishop Eamonn Casey who fathered a child with Anny Murphy, The conversation is as followes. *"""Hello Jack how are and all the care - Fine thanks, just draggin - (Jack) Jazus wasent it a fright about thould Bishop - Terrible Jack, I knew him as a curate here in the cathedral (St. Johns Limerick) - (Jack) Yarra I dont blame him attal, it was dat auld bitch who plied him with drink and had her way with him"""* In my job I dealt with a a lot of country folk, they were and still are the salt of the earth, who worked very hard for a living. Some of the stories I could tell are hiliarious.
This was so entertaining, a few giggles, a few gasps, a few frowns and a few tears.. It's interesting to see what life may have been like if my ancestors didn't migrate to New Zealand, the countryside is similar or should I say used to be..

They do those tap dances in hillbilly country in the states
Hello John - The Hillbilly style of dancing is known as Clogging. In the UK and Ireland its also very popular. It was the people who emigrated from the UK and Ireland brought that style of dancing to the US especially the Appellation area.
Watched in Australia.. classic
Watching in America . Great film
Hilarious.
This is one of the best comedies I've in a long time. Back in the 1970's I used to deal with farmers like that, they were the salt of the earth.
and money was their god
Not really - farmers back then had a hard life. Any money earned was the result of a 7 day working week.
Beautiful rendition of Danny Boy 👏👏👏
First class ... good old Ireland in all its beauty and hate
Love ur hat. 🎩
Hats off to Leo Finucane. Brilliant film! Oh and the actors and actresses superior to any of those you see on television or cinema. Thanks!
people in the dail standing up and saying we had white privilege -
Now I know why some many emigrated. I would if I was born into that place.
Enjoying your videos. Finally got chance to subscribe. See you in sauna 1 of days
yes and the current Govt Narrative is that we had/have `white privilege` - Good Lord
Unusually “ erotic” click bait for a traditional documentary. Or is it just my deranged mind?
This is mostly a re- enactment, but well enacted. Thank you!
Fake nonsense
Hello, yes it is fake. However it a portrayal and correct at that how the people back then lived and conversed. I used to deal with farmers back in the late 1960's/70's and they were exactly like the actors in this film.
Great. I agree. No crime etc. Walked all over our farm ane never Even think of anyone hurting us. FAMILY OF 8.. Great village. NO SOUP KITCHENS ETC. NEVER EXPECED A HAND OUT. WE WORKED AND PROUD OF IT. GOD BLESS MOM AND DAD AND IRELAND.
BS!Crime in general continues to decline. The danger is decreasing and people around the world are getting older on average. The so-called good old days are glorified nonsense!
