- A look at the images and sounds of North Kerry and the rhythm and mood of a people who are part of that place.
Wheels of the World looks at the synergy between a place and its people. The film shows traditional ways of rural living.
As Eamonn Keane narrates: “Here in the south west is a land that for generations was tended with an infinity of energy and skill by a people to whom every field and tree and rock and stream had its own being. A people who knew the land because they wooed it intimately with hand ladle, with a spade and a fork, and the reaping hook, and the scythe. A world that except in fragments has gone unchronicled and unmirrored. That has fallen over the cliff of silence.”
Great video. I recall the quiet kindness of so many people in that time when I was young. God rest them.
Just how i remember going over to Kerry visiting my Grand Parents as a Child.
Different times ny good man... different times
Great memories
@@MaryAnn-pd3pm They certainly are. Especially going to Mass on a Donkey & Cart.
""A BEAUTIFUL short insight to the Great Irishmen and Women going about there work..Live the Kitchen - reminds me of my Grandparents down in Belmullet- Co.Mayo..Diá dháoibh agus Béannácht -Léat---....🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🌾🌾🌾☘️☘️☘️🌳🌳🌳......
This was the life no DEBT NO STRESS PEOPLE THIN AND HARDY DESTROYED BY JOINING EU
It was a happy life.
Well said Mary Kate diff times now and all for the worst
I love this chanel,living in Eire 16 years,very good people,God bles ireland.
Amazing to think those pensioners were born British citizens. So much has changed in this country in the past 100 years. From the name of the country we live in (UK changed to Ireland), job roles, the technological revolution and social attitudes.
A lot has changed, we are much wealthier now, but I can't help but look at these videos and feel like we lost something along the way.
We barely have time to answer our inner voices anymore.
Wrong.
They were born British subjects
It was always Ireland or eire.
Also gained one hell of a lot.
You can almost smell the fresh air
This reminds me so much of my grandparents farm in South Wales back then. It was a tuff life for them but a happy one 👍
Fascinating. What a pity we only have a few minutes of this!
Agreed
Yeah. I'd love to see more. Really interesting to see what Ireland was like in the past.
Is that con houlihan my old maths teacher in the garden.
nice to watch without any background music or unnecessary noise.
I remember it well, for many life was hard back then, life can be very hard and most difficult for many people in those modern days,
Very nice video!
The best cup of tea comes from a kettle over a peat fire ....
the milking machine would be a luxury to my Grandparents, their small herd of 8 milking cows were hand-milked and the milk-churns would be taken by horse and cart to the crossroads where they would be collected by the Creamery-lorry, I`m 76 years now so I was a lad of 5 or 6 back then.
Full length episodes be great
Wonderful video. My obligatory silly question of the day, 0:31 is that a thatched roof and are there still many with those in Ireland?
My Dad told me of a cousin many years ago who got an eye put out while working on a thatch roof and the bundle slid into his face.
Not many left. Very expensive compared to a tiled roof and insurance is an issue. In our village in Waterford there are only two thatched houses out of over a hundred. Needs redone very 12 years or so at a cost of around €20k and not many thatchers around.
@@patrickmccafferty984 that's out of my price range. My wife is from a village just outside New Waterford Cape Breton,Nova Scotia and in the National Park nearby there's a building called The Lone Shieling with a thatched roof and beautiful stone work.
This is a clip from a documentary about rural life around North Kerry and especially the my native Castleisland as seen through the eyes of the legend that was Con Houlihan(RIP).
Some felling of nostalgia watching this clip.The man walking his dogs at 2:20 is a famous greyhound trainer named Micheal (Paten) Murphy who is still around going strong too and is in his 90s now thanks be to God.I would greatly appreciate it if you could link me to the full documentary or upload it CR?
I love your channel btw,keep em coming.
That's some age boy! Fair play to him. Not many men like him left...
Try this one... www.rte.ie/archives/exhibitions/2257-on-the-farm/642537-life-in-north-kerry/
while it only shows the same clip you can use this to access the information regarding the clip and probably see a few more clips that were part of this genre.
I knew of Con Houlihan as I live only a few miles away in Knocknagoshel.
@@timcotter8879 Are you from Knockbrack ?
Just a reminder that I bloody love your uploads. Thank you so much.
There has awlays be a special place in my hart for the old forge there was a smell from the burned horses hooves nabs the old dust from the bellows my late father was a blacksmith in Co Tipperary just watching this i could see him there and he growling hold her head tight😓
My grandfather was a blacksmith in Waterford and the family still has the old anvil. I’ve photos with it,as well as some ancient horseshoes dug out of the ground in the ruins of the old forge right in front of me. Treasured keepsakes.
That was lovely, words and images both! I'm in the process of starting a few lazy beds myself, so it was nice to see the auld guy turnung the sods over there. :)
"""Wishing u the very best with your Dreams may they all come into Fruition..God Bless You Trish....🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@marykategraham.205 Thank you so much for your kind words. x
When people were real and didn’t f# look like each other, beautiful place IRLAND
2:40 my late father had a garden like that when i was small..great times
And two goats that's always got out!! Try to eat the lamb,,! Sooooo,! You need to go to Kerry this week,,! We're back at it bud,
Anyway, hope you're having a lovely time there and hope you can come by tomorrow evening if you can. You can have some lamb boy for dinner! We can talk about your new name!
We have potatoes and sauce with carrots.
My dad had too. Lovely memories.
That image at 1:41 is exactly as my Aunty used to cook over a fire back in the 70's. The days when my parents used to drive us over to Ireland via Holyhead from UK for the summer holidays to stay on our relatives farms. Waves of nostalgia......
Greetings fellas, feckas and freemen! I'm always a-singing after I get in from the brogue factory, helps to take the edge off the mighty Atlantic and keeps my donkey Rainbow amused.
What an orator!
Maurice O'Donoghue had the gift of the gab alright and what better man to articulate the writings of Con Houlihan.
Is that Niall Tobín narrating?
don't think so, might be Éamonn Keane brother of JOHN B....
The narrators name is Maurice O Donoghue.
@@johnogara3029 Yeah but this was recorded in 1974.
Would have loved to watch more of this. Would you load it up for longer viewing on here ,,as it’s like getting the sniff of potcheen but not allowed taste it.
Did you mean 1874?
a funny mix of cows being electrically milked and and the cooking being done over an open fire. I used to spend my holidays in South Kerry near Waterville in the 70's and 80's. While in one way it was boring , you could as a kid pretty much knock on any door, say who you were related to and it was in for a tea and some biscuits. happy times!
LMc, yes , lagree with you totally. I had the same experiences as you at the foot of the Bluestack mountains in Donegal. It was a fantastic experience. I spent the summer holidays in 1967 there with relatives. They were beautiful simple people. They had very little in a material sense but what they had they shared. God have Mercy on them all.
@@frankharrington8528 they were good people, raised great generations of kids post war that spread their wings either locally or in cities like Dublin or abroad.
I remember Irish friends telling me they all went to the beach in Galway and got caught in rain coming home and a crowd were welcomed and piled into a nearby strangers house until morning.
L Mc. My first Kerry trip was 1983 on my own . I loved it so much that I brought eight hillwalking friends with me in 1987 to walk the Reeks, Brandon etc. On one of our days off walking in the mountains, we went into a shop in Sneem where I bought a sweatshirt that I still wear today. One of my newer ones! When we were in that shop a herd of cows walked in. Ireland maybe is much more prosperous today but as as has been said there was something about those days that can never be replaced.
On the drive back from Brandon, we stopped in a pub which was just a grocery store but that had a bar serving Guinness. One of the best holidays of my life. I organised 20 more in Ireland and all were good but that was the best.
@@frankharrington8528 I loved the Bluestacks too Frank. Donegal was just wonderful on each of my four visits.
Proper history 👍🏻🇮🇪🏆
Well look at that, cows almost 50 years ago looked exactly like cows today.
What beautiful people l love this video thank you 🙏💫God bless you all ☘
If I'm not mistaken, the beautiful voice of Eamonn Keane.
Great video! 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
The old days.
Cool
Today we look back with rose tinted glasses but these were hard times and for many little opportunity to make things better. People enjoyed simple things but also endured a tough life.
Looks nice and all but what ya'all need is some diversity and a Curry House
No thanks
BEEN there, seen it , poverty and dispair, in the 1960, gone by now, THE EU, and the euro, made Ireland a wealthy prosperous country
Brexit totally insane, IRELAND has the last laugh
The euro is wrong leaving the EU join FETA EEA out of the customs union back to the lrish pound out fishing grounds and farming police department Brexit is a mixed blessing for the uk
@@joecunn2422 Ireland one of the riches nation in europe. so u arguements total wrong, under british rules one of the poorest. be proud ?'british arrogants failed
UK now on the bottom, Back to ur empire?Q victoria wake up pls
Brexit has become a financial nightmare for the U.K.
Now Africans will be the new Irish. Great job.
what are you on about
@Luke Thomas idiot!
@Luke Thomas on second thoughts Luke it would be great, they could hold weekly corruption competions beetween the Africans and the Irish to see who could milk the most money out of the people. Be interesting to see who's the most corrupt.
@Luke Thomas doubtful, we're not corrupt enough. It's great craic being on the outside looking in at the vile snake pit Ireland is now.
@Luke Thomas sounds like you're running out of steam Luke, I can tell you haven't travelled much.
Are you sure it’s not North Korea?
