Great video and great dancing! Ger, are you any relation to the Marty O' Malley in the video?

[@geromalley2648]

Hi Michael, yes...Marty was my uncle. Some character

[@michaelorourkekerryhorsebo6949]

And is he still alive? I have seen him in a few videos on UA-cam, looked like good craic! Think I read somewhere that he used to hold Rambling Houses, or house dances, is that true? Any videos of these house dances? :)

[@geromalley2648]

Marty died about 10 years ago. His house was a great gathering place for neighbours and friends. Here's footage of a house dance there from 1972...hope you can access it
