The spoons were popular in Ireland around that time. If you play them now at a session your apt to get a belt of one of them over your head. .The Fleadh is still going strong on a much larger scale. It has been suspended because of Covid. Hundreds of thousands from all over the world now attend this Irish music festival. Irish Traditional Music, Song & Dance is played all over the world and has never been more popular. It's also played, sung & danced by people from all cultures within the island.
If you only could hear this, you could believe this is in Australia. The Irish culture is engrained in Aussie culture. I love it. Our old folk songs have this sound. I love singing along, even when I’m not pissed. 🇦🇺
My youngest son plays fiddle, busked in Killarney before the lockdown and was sometimes accompanied by his sister on bodhrán. My older son likes the tin whistle and is learning the uilleann pipes, and my older daughter does classical and trad on the same violin.
Most of the footage takes place in O'Deas' pub. Many a pint of Guinness has been drank in that laneway. Can't wait to have one myself once things reopen.
Ireland had some lovely small local festivals before insurance and health&safety choked them out. Nice to see them supporting our boys up north in the H-Blocks. God Bless Eire🇮🇪❤️☘️
The Fleadh Nua was huge in the mid-seventies. Was like a "real" festival, people camping everywhere. Not sure why it went downhill in the late seventies, I think partly cause the town was a bit overwhelmed, they tried to reduce the scale of it. It's still going (but I don't know if it was held all down the years).
@Yourda Yourma why did you bring religion into it, there was plenty protestants involved in 1916, Ireland as a whole is for people from all religious backgrounds. 🇮🇪☘️
@Yourda Yourma just the usual trolling and sectarian mouthing by yourself , the hunger strikers were supported by the Irish people at home and abroad get over it
I used to go to Ireland for the fishing...not been for a while because its so expensive and the fishing has gone down hill .its a real shame because rural Ireland 🇮🇪 and its people are something special .
There's a very funny song on YT about The Spoons. It's called "The Spoons Murder"...Tells what happened to a guy that tried to play his spoons at a session. I like them provided they're not loud and played in the background. If anyone here thinks they're dreadful visit The Spoon Lady's Channel. She's got millions of hits..
Who the hell would want to waste money on the barber when you need money for pints. When you're pissed you wouldn't give a shit if your hair was trimmed or not because you'd be down the lane lashing back porter listening to these guys. That is if you were Irish, Hon the Banner!
Nah Ireland is gay now and natives are being replaced by foreigners while capitalism turns us into a cultureless WeWork space for tax-avoiding transnational mega-corporations.
I have asked before but to no avail where are you getting these videos and why aren’t they on RTÉ like every day wood do the power of Good to remind people God only knows it put a good smile on my face
It wouldn't be politically correct to show this type of programme on RTE now days. Not enough violence and negative energy, they prefer to show programmes like Fair City etc. It wouldn't do at all to remind people that there is a tradition and culture outside Dublin,
Used to be an alchy guy up the Toon in Glasgow. Would try to play the spoons furr a dime...... Had small shamrocks' tattooed on his lower arms . ...otherwise he seemed a jolly chap
So charming to see that little leprechaun type chap in the hat dance at the very start, fuelled by as they say in Eire the ‘black stuff’... a true chap of the turf. Why were those gloomy fellows protesting about the letter ‘H’ ? Back then did they have Lego in Eire, small but robust blocks I’d say.
You think. Their affect are pulse raisers, not so much in street merriment but in staged performance. It's the audacity of someone who dares to do it. However, it is all about timing.
I have a fantastic life. I have money and time. But, I really think if I had the split second option to travel back and become one of these young men playing instruments and smoking, I'd do it in a heartbeat. They were all good looking and looked happy. But I'd have to leave behind my Nazi war donkey-porn memorabilia collection behind and I don't think that would be a satiable decision in the fiscal and economic times we live in.

That's the late and great Tom Tyrell on the Spoons. He never missed a Fleadh. He hailed from Corrantarmuid, Newcastle, Athenry, Co. Galway.
Ha! Thanks so much for the info. I was wondering that very thing and scrolled down.

Don't know who the fiddler and guitarist is, sorry.
@@dukadarodear2176 the fiddler must be well known! Is it Paddy Glackin by any chance?

The guitar player with Austin Dawe is Paul Grant from Slieverue, Co. Kilkenny

The most Irish Irish that ever Irished.

Irish McIrishy.
Irish I could play the fiddle like that.

There’s one thing to be said at Irish gatherings they all turn out in the latest fashions from 1920 upwards!

With respect to all Irish, from Croatia.
lovely to see that - my old pal tom - John O'Deas back yard...!!!
Ha my great grandma from Tennessee would play the spoons. This video brings me back.
Yer Man on the Spoons is deadly..
So wholesome. The Irish on the whole are such kindly , warm and charming people .
4:22 Noddy Holder looks young there.

And that's how it was. I remember five or 6 people there.
I don't suppose you have Enniscorthy Fleadh around 1995/1996 do you? I was filmed by news crew sitting on the street and that would be gas to see.
You'd probably have to ring rte in donnybrook, they may have it on their archives but it might cost I'd imagine ?
@@handeyecoordinationskills Thank for the reply and the info. Much appreciated.
@@wexfordgirl1 no worries, I must get to the next fleadh myself

Pints in the hands and all. Can’t bait the Irish
Is the fiddler Austin Dawe from Dundalk?
Wohooooo! Love that kind of weather too
Recognise the man playing flute. I won't say who cos RTE think this is particularly contentious!
2:42 Up the Banner!!!
I want to attend!!!
I was there that year, can you post some more footage of that year, 1981.
Clearly the town´s barbers wrere on holiday that month
You are clueless !
That decade even!
Spot the jealous baldie..
Those rare hairy times
Who the hell would want to waste money on the barber when you need money for pints. When you're pissed you wouldn't give a shit if your hair was trimmed or not because you'd be down the lane lashing back porter listening to these guys. That is if you were Irish, Hon the Banner!
Twenty guys in an alley singing and fiddling with beer? I just assumed that’s what every day is like in Ireland
I went down an alley during a music festival in San Francisco but I didn't find the fiddling as enjoyable as found here
Nah Ireland is gay now and natives are being replaced by foreigners while capitalism turns us into a cultureless WeWork space for tax-avoiding transnational mega-corporations.
No. Some days there’s only 19 ...
@@kitsilanomusician2669 as I’m sure you know its a very different kind of fiddling that goes on in the back alleys of San Francisco 😬

Anyone know what the first tune is called?
Someone could tell me if "Tosie" from Ennis, Clare, a brilliant bones player is still alive ?
Ah, home. ❤️
Lovr Love and Mohr Love forever.
Great ganseys
Back when Ireland was a homogeneous place. I bet you don’t see this any more in the big towns.
What a good fiddler.
And guitarist.
Ireland, the warmest country in europe even though it's one of the farthest to the equator
There's a knack 8n them spoons
Who’s the fiddle and guitar player at the start?
Austin Dawe from Dundalk is the fiddle player
@@maireokeeffe8904
Thanks. He's good!!
