Buncrana Fleadh 1976 - Donegal Ireland

Buncrana Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 1976

[@Frenk78rpm]

This was 1975! I am the mandolin player of the trio from 0.53 onwards (Frenk van Meeteren), the other two are Jan Erik Noske on flute and Jorn Plas on guitar. We came from The Hague, Holland and called ourselves King' s Galliard. A year later we made an LP at Dolphin Records in Dublin with a larger outfit..

Hey any chance you have the whole show? Thats me on guitar on the hilltop riffing away like Rory.. Terry Flood.

[@LeeMcDaidDonegal]

Unfortunately I don't Terence. But if you try contacting RTE archives I'm positive they have the whole documentary and you may be able to purchase a copy/DVD from them? The programme was called ‘Fleadh Cheoil in Donegal’ and was broadcast on Easter Monday 19 April 1976. The programme was broadcast again in 1991 to mark 40 years of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann.
