I can tell many stories about Connemara Gaeltacht, Ireland, they were hard times, great times, sad times, brilliant and lovely normal times, During my younger days living there I collected hundreds of thousands of stories and memories that will live fresh in my mind even if I was lucky to live 10 lifetimes, There was a famous postcard produced by the great John Hinde on my dear departed Father and Mother standing in their Sunday finest clothes beside a parked car with a stone built bridge nearby on a beautiful sunny day in the wilds of Connemara way back in the 1960s
@@tziirkq That is very kind of you to say. I have been asked quite a few times to write a book of happening that I experienced during my life and stories that I have gathered. It is only very recently that I have begun to write down and store some of those stories and maybe someday in the future I will release a book of a 1,000 short stories, each will have more than a few grains of truth in them. You are correct about stories being lost forever because we did not record them when we had the chance. My dear departed father, a Connemara man with many more stories, ancient songs and poems, My brothers, sister and I would hear several different stories most days, I can not recall my father ever repeating a story. We made the great mistake of not recording my father telling some of his stories and reciting poems, they are now lost forever. I wish you all the very best
The Ghaeltecht was always regarded as a place of salvation, a place where the old thousands year old Celtic/Gaelic culture of Ireland existed and continued. Relatively free of foriegn (i.e. anglo) influence. All one would have to do is drive to.the remote western coastal regions and cross the Gaeltacht border and once you arrived at the first Irish speaking settlement, village or town, you were "home" It was a great experience.
Are these videos okay to download and share them on a page without crediting you? Because I've seen them up on another page, not crediting this channel.

I would love it if you recorded videos telling us your stories. Too many of these memories just disappear, and a forgotten story is a sadness.

James please put something together otherwise all will be lost.
The language of the ancestors. How beautiful it sounds; it is ideal for stories; for literature; for song, and for living life. ❤
You are absolutely correct in what you say

The B&Bs were a good way for Gaeltacht people to earn a few bob from tourism until Dublin regulated it away in favour of guesthouses and hotels.
ah the good old days
The good old days, we were younger then
Working your ass off 80 hours a week just to stay poor with no hope of a better life. Sounds great
@@joesullivan-y9r sounds like now
@@shutup2751 I guess if you live in some 3rd world country it is. Not in any developed nation
@@joesullivan-y9r you seen how much housing and rent is in this country? you a FF/FG voter by any chance?
It's nice to hear Gaelic with minimally "British" undertones...
My great grandmother was a Connemara woman. Go raibh maith agat xxx
Back when Ireland was actually Irish .... sigh
Back when Ireland was a very poor country. I don't miss it
What the hell, the video of Connemara with no sheep in it? Outrages!

👍 👍 👍 👍
Question: how do you pronoune "Gaelic"? Is it "gay-lick" or "gah-lick"?
Neither its Gaeilge ( gale gaa.) Gaelic is what they speak in Scotland, maybe that's why you are hearing a British accent in the back of your head.
@@rudithedog7534 Thanks. Much appreciated. 😀
@@rudithedog7534"gale gaa" is completely incorrect as well
