im a yorkshire man and remember visiting ireland in 1985 i was 17 . and went to his pub and there was only 10 of us in there.... i was the only english guy in there and john b keane came and sat with me and we chatted for an hour or 2 . he was a lovley guy and ive never forgotten that cherished moment R I P JOHN a true gentleman

this year was the last year that the goat ever goes up.

Tom Crean like so many was a great man. So important not to forget history or the people who carried on heritage through the years die ....

Great stuff!

I'll attend one day.

Wonderful simplicity!!!!

Hope everything is all right for them during these difficult times.

Well said, Loved the Video.. Is there another Gathering coming up.. ?

My 2nd Great Grandfather was Danieleen O' Sullivan Croumhane, born Abt 1823.

Would love to visit this place one day! So far away...

I’m a descendant if O’Sullivan. I am from the other side of the world.

WOW what a cool pub...pity i'm in England.

Cruelty to that poor animal. How is this allowed in this day and age? Disgraceful place .

nice lady

I wouldn't mind doing the cowgirl with her.

See that this was first published on August 16th ........ a very significant day.

I need to find out if my mother's side of the family (Carney as well) is from this island, and I need help. My great great great grandpa Carney came to Perry County Ohio in 1803. My Grandpa Carney looks so much like this Mike Carney.... it's crazy. I know per Mike's book there were 2 Carney clans on the island. I need help tracing my ancestry to know where in Ireland we came from. I've been saving for 12 years now for the trip, but I need someone to take my family tree back further, but need help with this. My Uncle Lester Carney looks even more like Mr Carney....scary really. He was born 1901. Anyone able to help me? I tried to reach Mr Carney before his passing, but was unsuccessful.

A Radio Kerry paid professional who cannot pronounce the Kerry tiwn he's in! Ffs. It's pronounced "ow nu skawl".

Excellent show for a great man and well done to all involved.

Aw, missed it.

next to his grave is my great great grandfather

Wow a lot of people i knew

How wonderful, that after decades of living in the US he has kept his Irish accent. Some go to the US for a week to visit Disneyworld and come back sounding like a local. I first caught a glimpse of the Blasket Islands in Ryans Daughter and have visited them. It was a haunting visit, stunning peaceful views. It has become one of my favourite places to visit. People should read the books written by islanders. They lived rough and tough lives.

Thank you Eamon for putting together this wonderful video on the Christie Hennessy Celebration. It encompasses much of what was going on. Well Done!

OOOhhh, tears in my eyes too. I visited the Blasket in June of 2011, and it has gripped me ever since. I sort of can feel the loneliness Mike is talking about, even if I never lived on the Island and knew none of the people. It's fabulous that he could come over and see his youth environment again. Lovely movie...

One of the unspoiled gems on the Irish Coast

Just been invited to attend the EMS Gathering in Killarney, Co.Kerry Ireland on May 14th & 15th 2014. I am really looking forward to this event if the content of this international gathering is anything like the 2013 event. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

It was such a thrill to be with my family at the pub on the occasion of what would have been John B.'s 86th birthday. Nothing can compare to the privilege of being with so many of Ireland's elite literary world. I don't remember when or where I felt more at home. Thanks to Billy, John, Joanna, and especially Mary. Love from your American Irish relatives.

Great promo....

what an amazing story.generations had seperated them, but one young girls love of family brought them back together
