There were never any singers or musicians in our family and we never went anywhere when I was in primary school in Cork City in the 1940s. I envy and admire the way you and so many like you were brought up to feel and to experience the living traditions of Ireland. When I was doing Irish in a secondary school in Dublin in the 1950s we had to learn poems in Irish. Many were called 'amhrán' rather than 'dán'. We knew that 'amhrán' meant a song but we were never given a chance to sing any of them!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Perhaps you recognised your parents or even your grand -parents in this video. I also noticed that the script was written by Brendan O hEithir and commentary by Chris Curran, both of RTE Radio and TV fame. Thanks once again TG4
Proud to say I was at that Fleadh with My Dad (R.I.P) and my younger brother...

big up my grandad Paddy Ryan at the end of this, he was a big singer years ago from Quilty Co Clare and a lovely man x.
That is fantastic.............real people, real music, real emotions. Glad the witchdoctor priests are not often seen in public now.
