The supportive shouts from the audience are great - here's a translation of a few of them if you don't speak Irish 'Ná bac anois!' (Don't mind him now, said when the guy on the right laughs right after he starts) 'Dia go deo leat [a mhac?] ' (God be with you forever [my son]) 'Buail faoi do chosa é!' (Strike it [i.e. the floor] under your feet!) and my personal favourite - simply 'Yeehaw!'
Just priceless.... thank God we have the technology to capture this stuff for future generations. I love the little grunts of approval that come in, whenever he does a fancy step...!
Fantastique, joli document d'archive, ç a fait du bien de retrouver le plaisir des choses simples et sans artifices... et si c'était ça le bonheur ? Bravo : 5 ***** Fantastic, beautiful document archive, it feels good to regain the pleasure of simple things ... et si c'était ça le bonheur? Bravo: 5 *****
There was a time and all this stuff was almost never played on our national airways....Only for people like Ciarán Mac Mathuna and Tony MacMahon...most of these musicians/singers/dancers would never have been heard of...Different story now Irish music,song and dance are loved all over the world...
From a programme that was presented by Tony Mac Mahon (Box Player) in 1972 called Ag Déanamh Ceol (Making Music)...They were great programmes but most of them have been lost or forgotten about.
That looks like Seamus Ennis sitting three seats to the left of the whistle player, and to the right of the whisltle player is a lad with glasses and a sweater, his arms crossed. Could that be Tony MacMahon?

This is a superb clip.. Dessie O'Connor the whistle player was my uncle (my mother's youngest brothr) whom she adored - he was born on Capel Street
Great music and dancing. I watch this a couple of times a week.
At last it has hit you tube, this is my all time favorite clips of dancing.
thanks a lot for this .................
This is so delightful in every way. Thanks for sharing.
I love how he starts out all stiff and step-dancery and by the end he's really into the dancing and moving his whole body about.
Just priceless.... thank God we have the technology to capture this stuff for future generations. I love the little grunts of approval that come in, whenever he does a fancy step...!
So much skill and talent and a wonderful sence of dance!
Powerful stuff!! Great to be alive to watch it again !!
Interesting and enjoyable. Thanks for posting.
Paddy was my teacher in St. Finbarr's school in Cabra for five years. A great, great man.

This is fantastic! I keep wishing I could move the camera down a bit so I can see feet!
I agree...The camera man must have had a few pints of Guinness 😆
Браво! Великолепно!

To the left of Páudí Ó Broin is Peter Browne, then Noel Hill, then Seamus Ennis. Dolores Keane and her aunts are also in the audience.
Tunes are Lucky in Love and the Bloom of Youth

Fantastic piece of footage! Do you know the name of the programme it came from?

Take that River Dance!......his feet are talking to ye
He was born on Blackhorse Avenue in Dublin. His father was a Milkman...

Great Video! He's in good shape and pulled out some better moves than M. Flately. I even started to clap for them before I realized where I was!!
