A mighty session, the old and the young having the craic, would take the years off you to be there. we lost a lot of things when we gained the Television, radio etc
I’m only seeing this now... I moved to Spiddal in 2009, am originally from Paris, France... And, well, I don’t want to say how old I am on here, but in the early 1960s, I wasn’t even born... My PARENTS didn’t even know each other at that point in time, and neither of them could have envisioned I would ever be born, let alone that I would move to Spiddal much later on in time... An incredible video! Míle buíochas as ucht seo a roinnt linn!!!
Thanks for the lovely memories of our old friend Festy ar dhéis Dé go raibh a Annam.
What a handsome, musical, creative, hard-working, and welcoming people!
Having just come back to Sydney after spending 2 weeks in Spiddal with the family, this was a gift to watch. I went to school with Sean Tammin's son. Funny to see his old man eating the phatai here.
Thank you Ronan & Amelia. So lovely to have this piece of traditional music and life in Spiddle online. Precious memories.
Thanks so much for this window into old Connemara, Ronan.
Wonderful seeing ST Enda's and other familiar sights. One can only imaging how many of our cousins appear in this film but I an sure many of them do. Thanks so much for posting
My grandfather (whom I never met) is singing Casadh an tSuagáin. The house is my great Uncles'. I made a short documentary for TG4 about the BBC trip and the fun they had over the two nights it was filmed. I can share a link to the programme if anyone would like to see it.
Hiya, a Sheáin, yes please, if you add that link here, I'll copy it up to the main description.
@@RonanBrowneMusic GRMA Ronan, tá súil agam go bhfuil an saol go maith!
I'd love to see your documentary. Please share!
My 82 year old Mum was born on Illaunmore Rosmuc Connemara and she's got dimentia but she watches these videos and her memory comes back and it's quite emotional to see her 😢
What an honour to have played even a small part in her enjoyment of life at a time when she is starved of memory.
@@RonanBrowneMusic thank you Ronan for posting this emotive traditional film !
My 86 year old uncle is the only person who now lives on his own on the illaunmore (island) of the Rosmuc mainland and its so sad that all these islands were never developed with bridges or infrastructure as I had Great adventures and times travelling over from London during in the Summer holidays as a young lad !

Yep, it is sinful how Ireland consistently turns its back on itself and tries to be anything other than Ireland.
Lovely. Nice to hear what seems like the source. No fancy leather pants. Folks that work hard with humor and that comes out in the music.
Well said James. Your fancy leather pants got a mighty belly laugh from yours truly!!
Thank you, Ronan. A wonderful contribution to the body of online traditional music.
Excellent doc. , many scenes reminiscent (IMO)of similar scenes in the film'Song of Granite'. Thank You for posting.
Thank you, Ronan. This is fantastic!
Excellent Tradition & Culture,
Agreed. And with a complete lack of artifice.
Aw this is beautiful
The air that Festy and the fiddler play is amazing, at 1:34
That’s Róisín Dubh being played by Festy on tin whistle and May Standún on fiddle (just for anyone who might not know)
Yes, it is a lovely air.
He's my great uncle, just met a man randomly in Baltamore and he knew him well. Such a small world!!
I know most the lyrics of the songs.
We lost Irisn not under the British but after Irish Independence.

Never heard of the Notie hostel building - idoes it contribute to the ospideal name? Is Mairtin Thornton the boxer? Interesting that the perfomers are mostly old 'uns, even in the early '60s.
Well spotted Shtove! Notie was a spelling error - it should have read Note not Notie! Thanks for the clarification.
And yep, that is Máirtín Thornton, the famous boxer.
That’s gas that you think they’re old - most of the players and singers are in their 30s. Even Máirtín Thornton would only be around 50. And Mártan is a boy.
Perhaps modern eyes see old people because of how they are dressed, plus th’aul black & white. But these are young performers. Notice Kate Sheáin Tom doesn’t sing; Tom Pháidín Tom isn’t even there. This piece of film is not about the old “custodians of the Culture”. It is all about the youth!!!
@@RonanBrowneMusic Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of the singers (apart from the little fella), but maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on receding hairlines! I'm still confused about the hostel at 1:18 - when was it demolished?
ps. I guess Mr Conlon wouldn't mind being described as Feisty.
Begob...
What’s your name Mr/Mrs Begob? I must be fairly old fashioned myself that I wish to know that!
Yes, you raise a good question there. I’ll ask Amelia Conlon when it was demolished. She’ll also have some better info about people’s ages.
Haha, I’d say Festy would be happy with any name if he could walk the streets of Spiddal once more!! Having often heard about him as a child, and knowing my parents had met him often, I was amazed to find he was still alive when I came to Spiddal in the year 2000 and enjoyed a few years with him before he died.
and the potatoes, the lovely, steaming praddies! I eat them the same way!
14:55 A Stor Mo Chroi
Yep, that’s correct.
Suimiúil, níl sé sin fadó ar bith, ach is cosúil le domhan difriúil é. Go háirithe mar tá sé i ndubh agus bán
Yep, IS domhan difriúil é...!!!
Is fíor é sin ..
Was Festy Colon father of Maureen Curran, Tom Curran's wife?
Jacques Croughs. Yes Jacques, he was her father.
@@RonanBrowneMusic , in the years 88, 89, 90, 91,... etc, each time in my summer hollidays I meet Festy at "Cruiscin Lan Pub" or Tigh Hughes He kiss me, said "Jack my Belgian friend, have a pint! I drank hundreds of black stuff with him and Mickey his son! I used also to sea fishing with Tom Curran his son in law... I stayed on Eddy Mc Donagh cottage on Lough Boliska shore... Geat memories... I miss this lovely time. Sorry for my bad English, I'm french speaker...
Jacques Croughs, your English is fine. Irish music is always making those lovely memories. Irish music, Irish people and Irish culture. We are lucky to be ourselves. Those memories are still being made every day in this modern time. They are different memories, by different people, and they appear modern to people who remember the past, but they will become old memories in time, and fresh memories will be made in all the years in between. The secret to success, in my humble opinion, is to appreciate living in the moment, remember the past with a warm heart, and be respectful of the future.
@@RonanBrowneMusic, what lovely thoughts, and good advice. Great music in this video--thanks for sharing it. It's invaluable, really.
Fantastic I hope to haveaholidayin Spiddle in 2024 Ihaveconnections there Kathleen Tivenan Stafford Eng.
