- Apologies for the ads , apparently UA-cam can now put ads whether we want them or not and take the money, it doesn't even go to RTE. yep UA-cam really sucks these days. Google has become very evil.
anyway back to better times... Fleadh coverage starts at 15:05
(sorry it ends rather abruptly around 1 hour and 39 mins in.)
This is a transfer of an old VHS featuring mostly RTE's coverage of the 1996 Listowel Fleadh Cheoil. Although some fecker recorded over the start of it with the RTE News and Clinton's 2nd Inauguration. I left them on there to get you into that 90's vibe. If you're on there or you know anyone who is give us a shout in the comments. Some fabulous music and song and some of these youngsters went on to become real famous on the scene. Apologies to anyone who wanted to know who won the Irish '96 Milk Man of the year final but that's where the tape ended. The original PAL VHS transfer is a little clearer at 576 lines but for some reason youtube recognises and forces all these VHS transfers into 480 lines (which is the american NTSC standard) so you lose a fair bit of detail. Maybe I could first transfer it into a 1080p version then upload again but it will have to do for now. And dont bother subscribing, i wont be posting any more videos. I have no other VHS worth uploading, I threw them all out years ago except this one.
I've been to a few over the years but 96 surely was one of the best. Just before the dawn of the internet and mobile phones.
Thanks for whoever put this on the timer :) and great to see it on youtube.
Really enjoyed this video and very good sound. Well done. Great to hear Jim Mckillop really giving it the 'holly'. Brilliant musician, not forgetting his guitar player who was very tasty !!
Remember it well. Button accordion playing style has changed a lot since.
Sophie du plantier , her murder hasn’t been solved as of 2023 , saw this on the news piece and was interested in the outcome
The girl band formerly known as Siren were renamed CHILL.
