This is beautiful-amazing timing andcaccuracy. The dancers look so stylish and claasy, unlike the ridiculous costumes and big hair wigs of competition dancers nowadays.
philmurtagh hah! It's a small world. Mammy remembers Maggie Kane and also Margaret Molloy but she's not too clear on who everyone else is. Have you got a cast list? She'd love to see it.
Una McGrath, Margaret Molloy Kevin Massey Mary Tobin Sean Tobin Angela Murphy Leonard Chawkley Marese Lynam And her sister ......... Virginia, something, can't remember her surname Sean Fagan Annette Chawkley, maybe... Can't remember the last three girls...
No, this is a specially devised Figure Dance. It is performed by the Harry McCaffrey School of Irish Dancing and I do know Harry and some of those dancers have since passed on. R.I.P.

Is this a particular ceili dance? If so what is the name of it? It is very unique.
I think he introduced it as the Tara Brooch, but my Irish is a bit rusty.
Thank you.

@@eugenequinn4578he said they will dance the Tara Broach and that is the correct formation for it.
This reminds me of Scottish country dancing that I did at school in England in the 70's. It's not set dancing!
