I am surpried to hear that ballroom type Dancing. Ceilidh dancing was popular in my home town of Tramore. We had dancing every weekend, and occasionaly midweek to The Dunphy,s traditional Irish Traditional Music, in the Sin Fein Hall at the top of Train Hill, my brothers and sisters and mise always managed to scrape a few bob together to have a jar or two at our favourlte pub Robinson,s, and then a quick dash downhill to make sure we got our favourite seats in the Dance Hall. In the winter it was great craic, but in summer you could hardly get room to move with all the tourists who loved The Craic.
If the people in those times had todays money 💶 they would have been in heaven' todays people have the money 💰 Yet they lost the kindness that this generation had' I know which is better '
Many a so called lady (for want of a better word) Got a lift home on what she thought was a cross bar. but on alighting from said bike, the so called lady realised the bike had no cross bar.
Man that's way too funny...Did you not know there was no sex in Ireland before television...but those auld dances were an occasion for sin....I'll never forget the slow ones I was ploughed down in the middle of the floor one night when the band introduced a slow foxtrot.."Did U sleep with this woman"...."Don't know Father but I could have dozed off a few times"...
Dances going on after midnight required permission of the local priest??? What civil law gave the priesthood such authority? If permission was not sought or granted, and a dance went past midnight, what did the priest do, excommunicate the dancers?
I’d go back in the morning.
great clothes and hair styles on the ladies and suits and ties on the gents wish i was there better times
Great memories.
My father and mother used to go to The Vegas dancehall Templemore
I can see this all coming back we will live like how mum and dad in the 19 30s and 1950s this was fab pepol xx
An excellent description, of that era
What a great era this would've been to live in.
My parents Charlie and Jo met at the gresham rooms dance hall Cork in 1951
How times have changed sometimes you would wonder if its for the better
