This is one of the greatest music videos ever...it captures a great era of music and song and captures a more innocent and happier world when folks were friendler and enjoyed the sessions without cans of beer and appreciated and listened to the wonderful live music and song. well done to Tony Mc Mahon and Barney Mc Kenna R.I.P. and the filmmaker..... check out part 2 also...
