Trasna Ceili Band: Waves of Tory

[@seanthebox]

The dance is listed in the Irish Dancer's "bible" Ar Rinci Foirne as danced entirely to reels, but in the North of Ireland it is traditionally danced to Jigs and Marches as seen here.

Isn't this usually danced to reels (with the accompanying march during the 'waves' as done in the video)?

[@Sportymike]

since when was their such thing as 'Northern Irish'?

[@thePipeBandEnthusiast]

Since 1921

since there was a separation of Ireland (i don't know exactly when - probably around the early 1900s with the Easter Uprising and such). Northern Ireland is the part that is part of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland); whereas The People's Republic of Ireland is what most people mean when they say "Ireland" nowadays. Check out CPGrey's video on this for more clarification.
