Seán O'Riada, Ciarán Mach Mathúna & Tony MacMahon did more for Irish Traditional Music when it wasn't popular or profitable to do it. Jasus these are powerful reels. R.I.P Peadar Mercier ♪♫ ♥

[@bccochrane1]

Brilliant passion played music. I don't know what some people's problem is with the dancer. To me she's just in the zone loving the music. Why should there be some set dance routine? Its folk music for heavens sake! Thank you for uploading :)

[@tazio2]

Joe Cooley was such a rarity that he could inspire the players around him to reach undreamed heights.Tony McMahon also has that power.I am referring to treading through the realm of genius

[@shepsmaster]

Brilliant stuff!! It cannot be argued that tony McMahon was one of the finest, if not THE finest concertina players ever, but for me the bosh ran player gives this tune an added dimension

[@tomgreene6579]

@@shepsmaster McMahon was better known as an accordion player the bodhran player is great not the ''wet rag'' sound we often hear.

[@bonenfant96]

I might be wrong but, when bodhran was played simply like this...... Beautiful

[@clarebannerman]

@mickigoe Olwen Fouere is an Abbey Actor & has appeared in a number of films.

[@SkyDK1]

This is what Irish music is!!

[@francis888ful]

My people my homeland.

[@LarrySanger]

The dancer was certainly getting into it. First off comes the jacket, then it looks like the skirt was coming off after 2:16 or so. After that, oddly, the camera seems to forget about her!

[@clarebannerman]

Olwen Fouere is also a great actress.

[@oliveroneill1388]

[@galwaytribesman9289]

[@clarebannerman]

[@mickigoe]

@clarebannerman You said a lot there , clare , Tony is a genius.

[@dukadarodear2176]

That's what I call a real Irish woman!

[@j.b.9260]

Her name's Olwen Fouere. She's an actress (and still gorgeous).

[@maurawalsh9841]

Fabulous music by top music Ian’s no need for the girl that was not Irish dancing

[@joefagan9335]

Oh lighten up! The dancing was beautiful!

[@Melvorgazh]

Really wonder how the Bothy Band sounded with those 2 masters

[@mickigoe]

@upkilt Don't know , upkilt , the dancer adds a litle frisson to it. She does no harm anyway. Tony cant keep his eyes off her near the end.

[@eileennestor9274]

Awesome

[@eileennestor9274]

Charlie Harris one of the best one of my favorites

[@swordsoffire2212]

Eileen Nestor Charlie Harris? He's not in this.

[@eileennestor9274]

you are so right Charlie Harris is not in this one thanks for pointing that out. sorry

[@swordsoffire2212]

Thats Tony McMahon playing the box they sound very similiar though :)

[@splortz]

Henneley's in Gort on Friday nights!

[@inlandonline]

I know Tony well enough to know the he thought the dancer was just fine, so ... fine ...

[@jjcfxm]

Get that up ya.

[@metamaggot]

someone dancing makes change from them all being sat around looking like their aunts just died...

[@upkilt]

@mickigoe I think he's more like wtf?

[@splortz]

This can't be TG4! The audience is too animated. TG4 audiences are frozen in stone.

[@damoinclare]

That music is all-time! Not so sure about the dancing but w/ever who am I to judge. I think at :57 seconds her dose of LSD may have kicked in.

[@chloeharbinson8474]

N

[@ennismusic1]

I think the dancer forgot her steps

[@seanearnest]

Subtract the dancer & the bodhran and you're laughing.

[@seanearnest]

I found the volume of the bodhran distracting from the melody instruments. Its thunderous WHACK! could just as easily have been done without, in my opinion. Also the dancing was not my favourite, insofar as it segued from 1-2-3's bearing some semblance of traditional dancing into an amorphous who-in-the-hell-knows. I think you'll find it isn't cheek I have but just an opinion different from your own. Get used to it. This is the Internet.

[@upkilt]

Love the music. Hate the dancer.

[@therealmcgoy4968]

its called step dancing or river dancing lol
