@@loafheader Regardless of dialectal variation he's correct. Many people learning the language nowadays omit learning the phonology and focus nearly entirely on grammar, resulting in a sort of pidgin language with Irish words pronounced as if they were in English.
Ennis was born in Dublin & wasn't raised speaking Irish in the house. He was taught it later in life by a family friend. Seems a bit weird to simply equate "makes sounds" with "PURE"

This whole programme is fantastic. Lets hope it never gets taken off. A room full of what were to become superstars of Irish music just sittin around doin what they do best!
ennis had charisma. i recall he captivated a huge audience in miltown malbay during willie week in the 1970`s for over 2 hours. you could hear a pin drop when he came on stage. a piper`s piper...he had it all.
Watching Ennis on TV was like watching a visitor from another dimension informing us on how music could be more closely aligned with elementals like Water, Air, and Bacon Grease. Wholesome Kudos to the uploader.

I see several Dubliners; Ciarán on pipes, and Ronnie and Barney laughing together. I think Bob Lynch, who was briefly with the group, sits with the latter two. Has anyone spotted John Sheahan in this video?
He was from Finglas at a time when Finglas was little more than a country village, as opposed to the sprawling suburb of Dublin City we know it as today.

Seamus Ennis ended up living in a caravan in a village called Naul nth. County Dublin. Legend gifted talented great players came from him Liam Og Flynn but he was a contrary shite

I don't care how old-fashioned this is, I can't stop coming back here! Seamus Ennis just sings this with such gusto and such fun! I just love it.

Yeah it’s sad isn’t it, many new speakers nowadays don’t take the time to learn the native sounds
The irish language differs in pronunciation depending on the area of ireland

Beautiful song in a beautiful language and sung beautifully. Pure Class. Go raibh maith agat.
Irish Gaelic is a beautiful language!!!!
I never noticed the Dubliners were in the background. I can see Ciaran, Ronnie, John and Barney. No Luke though

One of the best renditions by Seamus Ennis of this clasic song

LMAO
Yes, the most important element of all: Bacon grease
He has a beautiful voice
I never knew Seamus Ennis sang! Great video! What a wonderful musician was he.
Sad to think that most in this video have passed on to their reward. Lovely tune.
Gone but not forgotten
I love watching these old videos getting a sense of their humour etc! Fascinating 💚
Seamus Ennis, consummate artist, consummate Irishman

We'd like to introduce our steamed guest, seamus ennis.
Steamed guest
I see several Dubliners; Ciarán on pipes, and Ronnie and Barney laughing together. I think Bob Lynch, who was briefly with the group, sits with the latter two. Has anyone spotted John Sheahan in this video?
What a great performance! I can see why the Irish Bards of old were so revered! Thanks for posting.
why don't we have this on TV any more?? we all love reeling in the years but nobody seems to know about all the good music...
It's actually a very funny song. Check out the English "translation".
@samdaly 1986
Indeed - Why?
Brilliant.
it's jarring to see Seamus Ennis without pipes, but that's huge presence
Translation: the angry puck goat defeats the police and the priest :-)
A few jars or not,a classic song.
Sounds Arabian strangely. The musical style is also reminiscent of such songs.
Seanus Ennis, Fear Na Amhran, nach bhfuil amhain na piobai uileann!
Séamus Ennis looks as though he had a few jars here. Great old days.
Get an Irish setter or Irish spaniel.
Very good, He really was very well in that TV show
Love this.
Beautiful!
God! What I missed!
Splendid.
That was beautiful
Unreal! Dochreidthe ar fad!
There's no way that man is a born and bred Finglas man!!!! Legend!
He was from Finglas at a time when Finglas was little more than a country village, as opposed to the sprawling suburb of Dublin City we know it as today.
He also played fiddle, and was actually quite good at it from what I can tell. (I'm a piper, so I wouldn't really know, but...)
Makes me sad. Ireland had such riches, unfortunately we exchanged riches for money.
Blame England mate

I can die happy.
@ErnstBecker Yes, Bobby Clancy is playing the guitar right next to Seamus Ennis.
Is that one of the Clancys playing guitar to Seamus' left?
He played whistle too.
Has anyone else noticed that the Dubliners can be seen in the corner of the audience?! hahahahh
I thought that was Ronnie Drew!
Miles Popplewell , Yes you are right, we’ll spotted.
Most of the Dubliners I believe. I can see Ronnie Drew along with other bandmates, Barney, John. I don't see Luke Kelly however.
Interesting! Well, I can definitely see that too! Thanks!
Go h'iontach - bhaineas taitneamh as anseo ins na Stát Aontaithe. Love all the 60's hairdos as well!
I love these old videos too!!!
A couple of Dubliners before they became THE DUBLINERS . B
Wonderful!
This song uses the symbolism of a mad goat to describe how the Irish fought against the British. I prefer the Liam Devalley version though.
@magiclard affected me in the same way, I have to admit !!
Wow. Is brea liom é
Once upon a time when we were all Irish.
Yes.
???
5 YEARS AND A PASSPORT FOR YOU BABY but you must tolerate substandard housing conditions but here's a passport and a pinta HARP kurwa

Collectively they would drink a brewery dry.
Foghlaim me an tamhran sin sa scoil
Fuck me this is epic!
Ar fheabhas!
He may have been drunk, seeing as how he confused the 2nd and 3rd verses, but I think it was just the Tuberculosis.
They're singing about and praising a goat!
Conor--is that Bobby Clancy sitting next to him, playing the guitar?
Great upload, menbehindthesweaters. Where did you get it ...
Heh, I loved this! What's it that they're singing about? This sure will go to my favourites! :D
Translation: the angry puck goat defeats the police and the priest :-)
Ok, what are they realy talking about? I doubt its about a goat. I used to listen to this as a kid and miss it.
