What an incredibly beautiful film. It is a privilege to see and hear this magical clip of folk history. I love all the Island cultures, so unique and important. Fantastic singing and music, sung and played with such feeling. Amazing gentlemen and ladies. Their dancing shows such enthusiasm, just wonderful. Poor geese were a little spooked. The faces of these lovely Islanders will stay with me.❤ More please ❤

Currently writing a paper on the caoineadh. These recordings are very insightful!

[@TheFolkRevivalProject]

Thank you! I'm assuming you have seen my videos on keening. You have my permission to use this transcription if you want kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4qYop6Naqhmibs Good look with your paper!

This is definitely one of the earliest audio/video clips of Irish music.

[@terencemagee]

It's so good, I can't believe it. 1929? My Irish grandmother and her big family were there then in Galway, my Dad 20 and he could dance like that. I was brought up in England with a fantastic English Mum, though when it comes to the joy, the Irish have it with that music and dancing. And they're still whooping today as in the film!

Oh ..this is incredible 💚

[@frogmarch1000]

What a pearl. Tap dancing surely must have been taken from the Irish jig.

[@stevemcgarrett303]

This is fantastic. What a treasure to have this preserved.

[@metamaggot]

the shoes they wear from 6:24 on look like turnshoes that would have been worn a thousand years ago,incredible footage.

[@Herperof1000derps]

Interesting to compare to the ladies' leather shoes/boots they show shortly beforehand.

One of the songs reminded me of the American tune "Old Dan Tucker."

[@heyodi3092]

Sounds a lot like early country music. How beautiful!

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

wow. how come the audio and video quality is so good??!! 1929 in rural ireland for christ sake

[@SH-lx6re]

Please give an English translation as well. X

[@TheFolkRevivalProject]

The lyrics I have so far (in the description) don't translate well to English with automatic translation software. You can try pasting them into Google Translate if you like. I delayed uploading this video because I couldn't get a complete transcription and translation of the lyrics, which I was hoping to put on-screen. Hopefully, someone will be able to assist with the lyrics/translation in the comments. Thanks for watching and appreciating :)

[@SH-lx6re]

OK thanks will do.

[@triggerfish999]

Wow. Check out the homemade shoes. They obvs had little or no money at all.

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

exactly!! And with that fierce kind of dancing, you d hope they last a little longer than 1 or 2 dances ...😬!

[@w4zux]

they’re actually irish dancing shoes!! they’re used still today just made with stronger material, they’re made to make noise to go with the rhythm of the song and dance

[@bobbyviensjr8991]

For those in America crying about oppression yet still continue to speak their native language And myself being Irish American and not knowing a few words of the Gaelic language is a travesty

[@fiedelmina]
