What an incredibly beautiful film. It is a privilege to see and hear this magical clip of folk history. I love all the Island cultures, so unique and important. Fantastic singing and music, sung and played with such feeling. Amazing gentlemen and ladies. Their dancing shows such enthusiasm, just wonderful. Poor geese were a little spooked. The faces of these lovely Islanders will stay with me.❤ More please ❤
Thank you! I'm assuming you have seen my videos on keening. You have my permission to use this transcription if you want th-cam.com/video/mY5qkW5C3SY/w-d-xo.html Good look with your paper!
It's so good, I can't believe it. 1929? My Irish grandmother and her big family were there then in Galway, my Dad 20 and he could dance like that. I was brought up in England with a fantastic English Mum, though when it comes to the joy, the Irish have it with that music and dancing. And they're still whooping today as in the film!
I wonder what they would think if Lord of the Dance showed up wearning a headband, with no shirt on him, baby oil, leather pants, and a matador jacket... and someone told them "-this is the future lads"
Ah… to be fair, I’d say they’d be all about it 😂 we often think of our grandparents and ancestors as being no craic… give them some credit, they spent half their life stoned and tipsy and whenever they were sick the doctor gave them cocaine and opium… The English colonials were the prudes, meanwhile then we were crowing goats as “king of the village” and putting on big straw costumes or mad face paint every Samhain and Stephen’sisesis day.
In fact, my grandad is 105 this April so would have been 9 when this video was made. He thought river dance was the best thing ever, he still has it on video tape. 105 and still bopping along, loves a bit of pageantry. My granny would have been the same age, she died 20 years ago, before she did she was making all my cousins’ debs dresses and what not, backless things with big slits up the legs. “That’s the shtyle now” she said, any time anybody dared question her on it 😂
Prior to English colonisation, the south and west coasts of Ireland did a roaring trade with the Iberian peninsula and the north and west coasts of Africa for thousands of years. A lot of cultural exchanges between the two so it’s not surprising that you’d get a similar impression. A lot of DNA exchanged too, the horny so and sos haha
Fantastic footage. My grandmother would have grown up in amongst that generation. I'm just wondering about the complexion of the men, though. The women seem fair and healthy (and more on the lovely side than I was expecting!). It really does look like those men at least were wretched from drink and fieldwork. The man at around 7:00 looks half mummified! They had tough lives, that's for sure.
The lyrics I have so far (in the description) don't translate well to English with automatic translation software. You can try pasting them into Google Translate if you like. I delayed uploading this video because I couldn't get a complete transcription and translation of the lyrics, which I was hoping to put on-screen. Hopefully, someone will be able to assist with the lyrics/translation in the comments. Thanks for watching and appreciating :)
they’re actually irish dancing shoes!! they’re used still today just made with stronger material, they’re made to make noise to go with the rhythm of the song and dance
For those in America crying about oppression yet still continue to speak their native language And myself being Irish American and not knowing a few words of the Gaelic language is a travesty

Good look with your paper!
This is definitely one of the earliest audio/video clips of Irish music.
It's so good, I can't believe it. 1929? My Irish grandmother and her big family were there then in Galway, my Dad 20 and he could dance like that. I was brought up in England with a fantastic English Mum, though when it comes to the joy, the Irish have it with that music and dancing. And they're still whooping today as in the film!
Oh ..this is incredible 💚
What a pearl. Tap dancing surely must have been taken from the Irish jig.
the shoes they wear from 6:24 on look like turnshoes that would have been worn a thousand years ago,incredible footage.
Interesting to compare to the ladies' leather shoes/boots they show shortly beforehand.

Yes, they're called Cuarans, and we're worn last in the 1970s, very maybe the 80s. Some reason in english, they're called Pampooties!
This is fantastic. What a treasure to have this preserved.
I wonder what they would think if Lord of the Dance showed up wearning a headband, with no shirt on him, baby oil, leather pants, and a matador jacket... and someone told them "-this is the future lads"
That shit is no future that's what they'd say

Irish sean-nós singing is the real and true soul music. It is music heart and soul music.
Buen archivo sonoro visual , 👏👏👏👏From Spain.
Sounds a lot like early country music. How beautiful!
The singing reminds me of when I'd hear Arabic speakers speaking. It's interesting how languages can sound depending on how you were raised.

One of the songs reminded me of the American tune "Old Dan Tucker."
wow. how come the audio and video quality is so good??!! 1929 in rural ireland for christ sake
Lovely footwork in the dancing

OK thanks will do.
He'd fit right in with an Appalachian church choir. 👍
Wow. Check out the homemade shoes. They obvs had little or no money at all.
exactly!! And with that fierce kind of dancing, you d hope they last a little longer than 1 or 2 dances ...😬!
