Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann

[@stephenswistchew7720]

There are no singers like Irish singers and no musicians like Irish music no drinkers like Irish drinkers and put them altogether and you have magic

[@stephenswistchew7720]

Cop with the banjo the best cop I’ve seen in two years rest of the video is brilliant a breath of fresh air in a stinking time

[@gloin10]

We have a rather strange model of policing here...

[@annfrancoole34]

i only Americans cops could take note !!

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

What is so nice is to see kids playing and dancing traditional stuff instead of listening to head banging music of today.

Splendid stuff from all sorts of musicians, with lots of youngsters - a real tonic in times when live music is much rarer than it was a couple of years ago

[@davewilson4058]

That was 15+ minutes of pure enjoyment. I was toe and finger tapping throughout. There is something magical in Irish music. It has made my day. (NZ time:- Tuesday morning. 7th December. 8.50 AM)

The absolute beauty of musicians, dancers of all ages playing together. Brilliant. From LA

[@jamescasey4102]

​yes and it's absolutely brilliant to see all the children young and old taking part in music singing and dancing instead of being stuck on a phone or computer. 10/10

[@peterpurss3113]

I've never loved another country as much as Ireland. The music in the pubs is spontaneous and tugs at your heart. This type of celebration happens every weekend at the local, after the meal is finished and someone will go to their car and bring back a banjo. Someone else will get their tin whistle or what ever, and the night begins. I am fortunate to live in a part of Australia where similar thing sometimes happens, but if it wasn't so cold, I would not hesitate a moment to migrate to the outback areas of Ireland. A real, fairdinkum community. 💗💗💗

[@patsielee7760]

I completely LOVE every second of this video! The music, the harps, the bagpipes, the fiddles, the singing, the accents, the lyrics to the songs, the dancing the talent galore!!! Omg I'm in heaven here!

Great to see so many young people getting into their ancestral culture with music and dance.

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

This short film has got my head in a spin, It has got me very worried, While the people in all the other countries are out working hard from early morning to late at night every day of the year, the Irish people from very young children to the oldest persons are hanging out on the streets, in every pub and hall playing most brilliant music, having good times all of the time, nobody is working, the people are happy, well-fed and in no hurry anywhere, they do not worried anymore like we did when I was a young boy,I worked hard all the hours just the keep the hungry Wolfhound from our door, I am worried, the police will not arrest anyone, they want to set down and play alongside the other musician and have fun they also eat tones of ice cream and be happy all t he time. I am worried, they say that the country is flying high it is in great financial shape and everyone is a millionaire, they say that I would need a minimum of 27 million euros to buy a small house. I am worried that I will never be able to return to my old lands, I can not dance, I can not play a musical instrument, I can not sing, I can not tell great stories of long ago, I can not sit down and not worry about the future, What am to do I can no longer return to the old sod, I am not like those happy, shinney ,smiley people who have found all the answer to a truly great life of song, dance and not giving a hoot about tomorrow, it has been my one true wish for the past 87 years to be able to return back to dear old Ireland but this can no happen for the reasons that I have explained

[@lindahadland5942]

This event happens during Fleadh week. It is a national week of tradition. If you like the flavour 👆 it takes place every August (mostly) in a selected town. Booking can be difficult due to demand. It's in Mullingar this year 2022.

I love seeing the Garda playing the banjo at 6.12 - imagine seeing an English bobby doing anything like that?

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

Most of them are filled with suspicion, they believe that everyone is a crook, is a bad person, they want to clasp you in irons and send you to prison forevermore, they say lock them all up. If the police showed proper respect and understanding they would find that there and not that many bad people out there

I am just blown away!

[@mirpopolos6209]

I wasn't looking for this, it came up automatically after listening to "Burke stars Gothic", a rather less cheerful Irishman blessed with the same name as Cardinal Raymond Burke ! This is so very different, so joyful, and it gives (or appears to give) an excellent picture of what Ireland is really like. The whole thing is an incredible combination of talents. I notice that Irish gets modifications to the beginning of its words as well as the end, like Welsh. Does that make Celtic languages unique, I wonder ? No, I suspect Swahili does it too. Is a fleadh like a ceilidh ?

[@christaylor2070]

I'm an Englishman who only knows a few words of Irish through involvement with the music and some Irish -speaking friends, but i believe fleadh means 'festival' or something like

[@cannellofglory6968]

English words may also be modified at the start. Prefixes, at the start, and suffixes at the end. They drastically change the meaning of words.

[@mirpopolos6209]

@@cannellofglory6968 I can't think of an example of such a PREFIX in English, can you ? Yes, suffixes like in English -ing , -ed, -s, are very common in all European languages, e.g. in French -é, -ons, -aient, and many many more. Even more in Slavonic languages, which add suffixes to nouns too, as if there was no tomorrow. (We just have -s, -'s etc, and occasionally -en ) . But suffixes ! There are only what amount to words, like pre- or anti- , and what are words, like cart in carthorse, or bull in bulldog. Please tell me more. German does that a lot, and has a range of grammatical suffixes like English (e.g. -en, -te, -e, -est like in "Du liebst" = thou lovest").(hast = hast ! ). But no proper prefixes except ge- . Ge- doesn't really mean anything extra. It's as if we said "I have geseen him. Have you gelooked for her ?" But we don't ....

[@bridboland8839]

Fleadh is an archaic spelling of the Irish word fleá (pronounced [fʲlʲaː]), meaning a festive occasion or banquet

[@CRyan71]

I was there. I remember most of the performers. The girl on the violin obviously forgot her trousers at 10.30. A bit of good weather and there will be no getting in or out of Mullingar this year
