who;s here because of meindert talma?

Poor guys they all gone now😔

This is masterpiece

Ah a photo of Dunangasa a most magical place .

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

My word, theres actually a lot more to the suite than i thought there was

This song sounds more modern than many of the 50s songs. I bet old people use this type of music to criticize the songs at the time. Plus, the video feels like a music video. HAHAHA!

Man in the background saying "Why don't you drink it yourself" :p

The best bit is hearing the kids from a 100 years ago laughing and chatting

Is there a name for that reel at the end there?

Thats actually amazing that people all over the world can find similarities

They'd faint if they knew what Asheville has become. Tragic decent in to paganism, rac i sm, crime and drugs. Yesterday's news was awful re: library in West Asheville. Avoid at all costs...spent much of my youth in the area...just 30 mins away from the great state of TN

❤

Tim Eriksen sings exactly this version of the first song

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

Music that makes my Heart Dream...❤❤❤ Music is life! 🥰

the 17 year old postman is a very good singer.......ehm... i mean...was a very good singer I guess

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

Is there any connection to "Nottingham Fair" / "Nottamun Town"? When I was listening to MacColl's version from 1957 it sounded to me a lot like "Working Class Hero" from Lennon. Lennon was inspired by Dylan, Dylan by MacColl. Do you think there might be some common root to those?

The first song at 0:48 sounds really similar to this traditional folk music of these headhunting tribes from Borneo czcams.com/video/S6TdYXdD4aY/video.htmlsi=xtbFK6jW0dbi3-Gs at timestamp 27: 28. Amazing.

analog horror matial.

I thought whiskey was made of corn. 🌽🥃 🌾🍺

My dad use to say that poor crayter I thought he meant creature but couldn’t say it no I know

Thank you! I'm very happy to discover this channel.

Thank you so much for this upload, I wish I could travel back in time and live this music in an old mining town in WV.

Surely it's a rather agogic (and very beautiful) performance with changes in tempo, but what's the point of writing down the music like this? I don't see any use of it for any musician.

Very reminiscent of the sung part of the pibroch, "The Old Men of The Shells" composed by Alistair Roberts performed by Calum Johnston and John Burgess. Sounds like keening to me; ...I left the ones who love me well To find my home in the ocean swells And follow the old men of the shells...

Wish I had been there.

Absolute wonder, thank you for uploading this.

It’s sounds like icaro songs from Amazon. Just learned about keening and came to hear examples but this sounds very much like sacred songs, they also weave them into fabric as patterns.

That’s beautiful

Thank you for these amazing videos. I never knew they held hands in kerry, as they do in galway still

Were these keening singers always elderly women, or were only elderly singers left by the time it could be recorded?

For anyone finding this comment, the pub is still in business today. Its called the "Quilty tavern" and it's a 30 minute jaunt from the southern end of the Cliffs of Moher along the Wild Atlantic Way. You know, should you be so inclined to stop in for a glass on your way through.

This air doesn’t really resolve to a tonic- it lingers as the sorrow and anguish expressed will continue to linger. Thank you.

😍

The internet/youtube at its very best. How else would most people ever get to hear these? Thanks so much for posting this.

Superb. Thanks for preserving the tradition(s).

Wow

Shady Grove must derive from "Matty Grove", a ballad probably originating in Northern England. Fairport Convention did a version of it with the great Sandy Denny singing. Worth checking out :)

I love how he's singing about Whisky and Poteen while they're only showing people pouring porter

Paddy was my great uncle he was married to my Grandfathers sister it makes me really happy to see this, espically since I never met him he died the year I was born

this song, captain wedderburn and some other similar themes are my favorites. i love it when they have these impossible tasks in order to "be my true love" lol the same as saying "when pigs fly" i think it's a theme we should bring back. make them earn it! even if it's seemingly impossible (you just need to be clever enough. and oftentimes it's no crime to have high standards! it's better than being trampled by careless narcs.)

Appreciate this beautiful insight into old Ireland.

🖤🖤🖤

So reminds me of my old da.

So wonderful.

Lovely!!! Incredible footage. Laughter and music make work fun. Thanks for sharing it.

Did the man who spoke say "then why don't you drink it yourself?"?

It is clear Rudolf Trebitsch was the inspiration for the 'German' ethnologist in Flann O'Brien's hilarious and brilliant book 'The Poor Mouth'.
