Drove about forty miles to find this pub about 30 years ago. Saw not a soul on the way, and Doolin seemed deserted. The only other pub was boarded up. Walked in to Gus O'Connor's and half of Ireland was in there. At eleven the place shut. Food was served and the music began. They let us out after some breakfast at about 7.00.
It may be cold and wet outside with a fierce wind blowing but you can be sure the air and atmosphere inside is as warm as the turf burning in the fireplace 🍀
Over ten years ago my friend and I were in that Pub. What a night. The sound, the rhythm was incredable. We have been in a few pubs in Dublin but the skill of those who played in Doolin made my friend and I soar. In that very night we found the true heart of Ireland.
My family is from this very part of Eire. I took my daughter there to visit our ancestorial home when she was at Trinity College studying for her Master Degree. I so treasure this time with her. That was many, many years ago.
I’m an O’Connor from the United States. I’ve traced my family to the County Roscommon. I look forward to the trip to this pub with my two sons and we will have a pint for my Father and His before who have gifted us this life. Proud to have come across this video and hope to share in the next song.
I spent a fabulous weekend in zcork before the restrictions, and as soon as this nonsense stops I will be back there. Great music, lovely people and the Craic was good.
I never understood why Americans didn't establish these types of traditions with Bluegrass music. Probably happens some places, but definitely not commonplace.
As you stated, in some parts of the USA like hill country as some call it these type of get togethers do occur. Whether you're American or not, the music and definitely the food specialties change from region to region and even from State to State. Take barbecue as an example and 'Southern cooking" sweet and heavy, or fried compared to say the Midwest or Northeast where seafood in the NE is primarily comes to mind.
We have a weekly Old Timey/Americana session in Fresno, CA, that has started up again. We have an Irish session too. Big cities have Irish sessions and probably some have Bluegrass/Old Timey sessions as well. Check online where you are. If there's a folklore society, someone will know where to go.
I was always fascinated with such beautiful lively gatherings. Though I have never been part of such events. But with such traditional classiy Irish videos I become a part of your culture. Beautiful !
We dont want you as part of our culture,,,our culture is Irish,,,you keep your culture,,,we will keep ours,,,come and mix,,,but,,,you will never be part of our culture. Multiculteralism is a bad disease,,it dilutes the original form. Now,,,get out of my face,,,ye fukkin weirdo
Went to doolin when I was only arond 11. One tiny street with only pubs and a few shops. One of my favorite places I’ve ever been. It’s been 14 years but I hope to make it back soon
On my way back from Germany we had to a refueling in Shannon Ireland. We spent 2 hours there and in that time I knocked down 10 pints of Guinness! Woah! Those Irish sure know how to drink.
Gah! I just visited the Clare region last month and didn't make it north of Miltown Malbay. Doolin and O'Connor's pub are going straight on my “next visit to Ireland” list. It will be my 4th visit. Notes to visitors: Miltown Malbay is, in itself, a charming, friendly small town in Country Clare. Personally, I love its haberdashery store, and recommend Friels pub (aka Lynch's) who serve mean gin & tonics from local producers. The Westbridge bar/pub is great, too. My fussy husband enjoyed coffee from The Frozen Spoon - a hot pink place, you can’t miss it. We got takeaway potato & leek soup with buttered homemade bread for dinner one night from The Old Bakehouse, a red place - their soup & bread were simple, delicious and just brilliant. The town is easy walking, and showcases its colourful history very proudly and well. County Clare in general is special. I suggest you plan to stay in the area at least a night or two - don’t rush through it.
It was our first time to Ireland from the States. We had motored from Galway to the West coast and stumbled upon Gus O’Connor’s; it was a typical Irish day: overcast, chilly and drizzling. We sat at the bar, the peat fire was glowing and the room was filled with that distinct smoky aroma. We had a magnificent lunch of fish chowder, brown bread and Guinness. It’s a memory that we cherish to this very day; that was on September 10, 2001, the day before the world changed forever.
Ireland has great sights...great food and better people!!! For a couple of other good youtube videos...try IRELAND...THE TRUTH COMES OUT IRELAND...THE TRUTH COMES OUT #2
Queen Maeve from Connacht took her ship to London to see the Queen of England, Elizabeth Tudor, in order to get her son released from prison. Elizabeth's Palace minders and officials did their best to block her entry but they failed. When the two differently dressed Queens met, they got on great with each other and spoke in Irish Gaelic. Elizabeth was lots of things, not all of them good, but she was a polyglot go raibh gaeilge aice. Maeve succeeded in getting her son released from jail, much to the annoyance of the Court minders.
Crap...the same basic tune, poorly played over and over in an overcrowed tourist trap setting , with the main focus on selling food. O'connors was once a fine pub with some great musicians and sessions..but it's now a stage for weekly shite like this, focused on raking in tourist money. The comments below show that the bluff obvioulsy works... don't confuse this with good Irish traditional music..this is SHITE, Gus O'Connors is scorned on these days by most good players who give it a wide berth.

Hahahaha this is Heaven

What a great memory....I also encountered something similar when I was in Ireland 20+ years ago....This clip took me back to those times, loved it....
It’s been 11 years since we were in O’Connor’s in Doolin and as soon as we’re back to a semblance of normalcy, back I go!💚💚💚
These are the best nights 💚💚💚 missed these when i was alway travelling ...
O Connell my mum. Taught me to dance like girl. In nz. God bless mum. Best mum ever
I just enjoy watching these Irish videos the music is just fantastic nothing beats this 🇮🇪💯👍🍀
I love my Irish roots and all the greatness it has brought the world. Especially the trad seisiún. Cheers!
It may be cold and wet outside with a fierce wind blowing but you can be sure the air and atmosphere inside is as warm as the turf burning in the fireplace 🍀
videos like these lift your spirits no matter how down you might feel. Found myself grinning and tapping my feet along with it all
Getting back to my Irish roots! Love this

Doolin is the spiritual home of traditional Irish music
I met Micho Russel there years ago when he regularly played there.
Have found it in a lot of towns, great musicians
Went into a pub in Ireland years ago,Irish music,awesome,Amazing can't beat it..Greetings from Cardiff Wales love 😍 👌
Want to go back! Love the music and the pub culture! Friendly people aswell. Love it!😍
How warm and wonderful, what a community.
My family is from this very part of Eire. I took my daughter there to visit our ancestorial home when she was at Trinity College studying for her Master Degree. I so treasure this time with her. That was many, many years ago.

Happy belated birthday 🎈

America was settled (conquered?) by people like this. You’re alright where you are I think.

I want to go to Texas and listen to country music
I love the Irish ☘️ what great and diverse solid human beings loyal to there land and straight to the point ✊🏻💚🇮🇪🏴

This is what fun looks like!
we did new year's eve in O'Connors. pure magic
I was here a few years back...Exellent!!!
Gorgeous music, dancer, and atmosphere. What more can you ask for?
Perhaps a table or a slightly elevated stage for the dancer, otherwise fantastic.
I LOVE IT
Beautiful times, before social distancing.
so is this what were gonna get now before covid.still alive and aw this pish.get on with it
...unsocial distancing
“Social distancing” needs to become an archaic term now.

Sorry , but Doolin is in County Clare. I got to play in Gus O’Connor’s pub once.

at 2:32 proof that Irish love music and the beer !
Hi Gagandeep! It seems to be beer but according to my memory it was a soft drink or apple juice. Irish are also happy without beer.
@@dietmardonath6283 well Apple juice made me feel thirsty early in the morning today.
She did great i dance like that in New Mexico for thirty years
this is so wholesome, love it!
I love it !

The magic of The Sidhe is plain to b seen .Who needs far away lands when.we have it all in our midst. West Clare Abu.
Long life Ireland, the best country in the world
On my way back from Germany we had to a refueling in Shannon Ireland. We spent 2 hours there and in that time I knocked down 10 pints of Guinness! Woah! Those Irish sure know how to drink.
What fun!!! Bet they sold a few pints that night. My kind of place. Too bad I'm across the pond.
I’d give anything to be there right now
Awesome mate
O! The luck of the Irish!Many more rainbows and four leaf clovers for you.

Me and my sister go on board titanic 2 in 3 class
That is one tiny pub.
Looking for "Tosie", an irish session bones player from Ennis, Co Clare, aged 65/70. Does he still alive ? (Padraig Lynch)
like a scene out of titanic
quel et le titre de ce morceau magnifique
A lively tune... a pretty girl danced about... she kept her knickers on and it was still great fun... Imagine that.
Hired by the bar to give the tourists something to gawk at.

can I whistle?
Ooohhhh!!
Beautiful music. What's the name of the song?
Hi Gavriel! Thank you for comment. The name of the song is "Sally Gardens". The dancer mentioned it before she starts dancing.
I wish more taverns did stuff like this, especially in the US. I'm sick of hearing the same boring pop music
Absolutely beautiful, shame about the clappers spoiling wonderful music
What's the called tune? Pleas
The name of the tune is "Sally Gardens".
@@dietmardonath6283 thank you I'm going to try learn it !
Is Doolin meant to be Dublin, please?.
No Doolin in Conty Clare Ieeland

im indian and Irish Music is wayyyyyyyy better than indian music!!!!!!
This would be so much better if we still had our Monarchy. Bring back the queen I say
Queen Maeve from Connacht took her ship to London to see the Queen of England, Elizabeth Tudor, in order to get her son released from prison. Elizabeth's Palace minders and officials did their best to block her entry but they failed.
When the two differently dressed Queens met, they got on great with each other and spoke in Irish Gaelic. Elizabeth was lots of things, not all of them good, but she was a polyglot go raibh gaeilge aice.
Maeve succeeded in getting her son released from jail, much to the annoyance of the Court minders.
don't unless you think you want to?
Lice in 3 class
The music is fantastic….she looks ridiculous.
No. You don't like it. You are just pleasing people. I can see it in your strained smile.
awful racket
