Authentic Irish sean-nós singing | Jack Ághas, 1960s ,County Kerry [restored video/audio]

Amhránaíocht bharántúil ar an sean nós | Jack Ághas, 1960idí ,Contae Chiarraí [físeán/audio athchóirithe]
The term sean-nós, Irish for ‘old style’, refers to traditional Irish music and dance from the Gaeltachts (Irish-speaking regions).
This is some of the earliest audio-visual footage of sean-nós singing. It was filmed in Begley's Pub in the village of Baile na nGall (‘Ballydavid’) on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. The singer is Jack Ághas (mistakenly called 'Patrick Ashe’), from the village of Muiríoch in West Kerry. He was born some time around 1900-1910 and died in 1990.
This footage displays several unique and authentic features of sean-nós singing:
1) The singer is holding the hand of a windáil, an audience member who supports the singer as they both wind their hands to the music
2) The singer is moving his body in other ways, shaking his head and rocking slightly
3) The singer has his eyes closed; it was common for the singer to either close their eyes or stare intently at a particular part of their environment
4) Audience members are often interjecting with words of encouragement and comments on the narrative of the song
