kids playing on the streets outside ..neightbours hanging out with neighbours .. them was the days .. great to see old videos like this....its incredible to think that this was more than 40 years ago at this stage ... i wonder how all their lives turned out..
Probably just like ours and anybody else work get married have kids etc etc it sad looking back spent my childhood in Dublin left when I was 21 been in London since
I live beside Clonliffe avenue where the opening scenes were shot. We played football at the railway bridge looking onto Clonliffe Rd. I actually recognised a few of the faces. I wont name the kids of course but sad memories of being young. Ah to be able to go back and be young again.
@@VICTORGIRAFFE Unfortunately not. Im just looking at the year. It's scary to think, but i was already 18 then and might have started hanging with the guys from the Grove.
@@pauljames745 Hi Paul. Someone actually sent me the link who is now living abroad. For me it was fantastic in a way to see this but on the other hand it wasn't good being reminded how old i am now. Wishing I could go back and be young again is too sad to take.
Drinking like that was a, right of passage for 90% of the kids back then.. Look how young some of them were... I was 10 when this was made but I recognise most places in the film... They really were the good old days.. No kids faces stuck in phones.. No such thing...
@@lisadoyle2386 we all smoked and drank back then.... personally I started smoking at 7 and was drinking every Friday night aged 12 ...All my friends were doing the same thing... we all had little jobs , delivering the milk, bread, selling stuff etc...nobody batted an eyelid..
Those who turned out like that could only have come from similar, dysfunctional family backgrounds. I'm sure the vast majority became decent, honest and hard working people.
supafuckinmingster my mam was from ballybough and was 22 when this video was taken, I can't wait to show her see if she knows any of the people in the video x

Do you happen to know who the black haired lad at 00.04 seconds is?
The chap on the left, not the lad holding the dog.

Thanks for sharing this Xave. At the time this may have seemed everyday, now through the lens of time we see its not.

Great video - no phones then how we relish these clips. Real Dublin
Love it
Fantastic-looking old video.
Great days before the phones
I reckon those lads were getting ready to go to the blind disco in drumcondra
Everybody was much better looking those days
Fresh air .... kids don't get enough of it these days.

I love the music sound track anybody know da name of dat tune it’s a belter?
@Pete Hyland The first song is "The Last Rose of Summer".
Canuckmom1958 can u try get the rest have it on full wak in da car
The second tune is the cliffs of doneann. I think.
The second is originally a traditional tune. Folk group Planxty wrote lyrics (Cliffs of Dooneen) and put them to the tune.
id say his oul lad bet the bollix owa him when he saw this video.
No better music ??

Hey Paul are you a nacker ? You look like one.
1978 BH (Before heroin)
I wonder if anyone in this film is still alive today, and if they are, what are they doing with themselves; where are they?
