- Michael Mulrooney demonstrates his unusual talent of being able to balance pints of beer.
Frank Hall travels to counties Carlow and Kilkenny and meets some of the locals, including Michael Mulrooney, better known as Mul, from Goresbridge, who is keen to perform his pint balancing talent.
Mul performs a most astonishing amazing feat, I doubt anybody else in the world can do it.
Mul was 12 years old when he started doing his party-piece and his father before him did it too. He loves doing it but has lately been put off by the price of beer.
John McGrath on the accordion supplies suitable music to accompany Mul as he dances with a pint of beer on his head and does not spill a drop. But there is more to come.
Mul you see is fond of a pint, and like the rest of us, he likes mixing his drinks, and he is now going to mix his drinks in a highly original but highly dangerous fashion.
To the strains of ‘Amazing Grace’, while balancing a pint and a whiskey chaser on his head, Mul picks a box of matches off the ground with his mouth, again without any spillages. Hall congratulates Mul saying;
"You’re the best balanced man in the country."
This episode of ‘Hall and Company’ was broadcast on 19 October 1986. The producer is Gerry Murphy. - Zábava
his pint balancing skill is matched only by his wicked style, that adidas and tweed combo is effortless cool
A right trendy mismatch going on there 🤣
This is where to find God haha
Part of his initiation before signing for Bayern Munich.
@@Hoopspur ✌️😂😂🇮🇪
As endorsed by a Mr. Brian Clough. But green was his favourite and whisky his tipple.
Mulldog is some boyo. He’s quite old now, but still has that effortless cool, you can see him from time to time in the Lucan local, although he has a cane now. Mad lad, got very into standup comedy in the late 90’s, bit of a dead pan style, truly one in a million.
Is the accordion player John McGrath still alive by any any chance? Lovely player
Frank Hall had a lovely easygoing style about him when interviewing people. That was nice, nifty bit of box playing too.
Frank was probably Bumming in Donnybrook aswel.
Makes you proud to be Irish 😂😂😂🍀🍀🍀
Yes the proud Irish culture has all been totally destroyed now! Really Sad!
I love Irish.
Great fan here
@@gburahbondo2948 thanks ✌️🇮🇪
Wow! How impressive was that! 👏
Great 👍 Video . I really enjoyed I felt I was there in the room with the people. The accordion player was a character. Lol
this man is a bloody king
The man who considered a pint a balanced meal!
Great to have these in the archives.
Back when there was crack in the pubs. and on R.T.E.
Fantastic Frank Hall, the man from Ballymagash. 😜😜😜🍺🍺🍺👍👏👍👏👍
That man had nerves of steel, well done .😁😊🍺🍺🍷🍷
Mull up☘💪
The man is an inspiration
The simple life before computers ruined it all for us.
It should have been an Olympic sport
Stuff like this cheers me up ( brilliant thanks 😊)
there's the smiling face of a man who never paid for a pint in his life. everyone is making that bet.
The box player is playing Amazing Grace while Mull demonstrates his amazing grace!
John Mcgrath Box Player
I’ll buy that man pints all night after that display
I did not expect that 😂
imagine walking into that bar and showing hem your iPhone.
Pub tricks making the news, only in Ireland 😅🍀
Class man love your channel ✌️🇮🇪
A time gone by. Never to return.😞
This gives me the same kind of anxiety I get playing Jenga, and I love it
This was my major at Indiana university
Really? That is class
Well done.
hahaha, great work that man..
Fantastic
If he is still alive today, he is 90 years old. A reminder of how short life is.
He lived to be 91. Former Irish Army man too. One in a million.
Alot of skill and concentration in this Pint Balancing.
Using lashings of Brylcreem makes the glass move about on his head so smoothly without slipping off.
Now thats Bazz! Sorry I meant balance. Phonemal work from that man!
some man for one man!
A Mulldog makes an excellent friend. They are known for their sharp wit and take-no-prisoner attitude. A Mulldog can make you laugh or scare the living shit out of you and sometimes both. If you get on the right side of a Mulldog you will be rewarded with loyalty, kindness and spirit. Get on the wrong side of a Mulldog and you will be struck down, possibly with leprosy.
How did he know he could find this 😳
Some boyo .. 👏👏
Try telling that generation they have to leave at 8pm before covid attacks 😂😂😂😂😂
Forget covid, they’d attack instead 😊
The tune is called the Oslo Waltz, Foster and Allen play it. Great song
My grandfather loved them rest his soul 🇮🇪✌️🙏
I thought it was Amazing Grace 🤔
Top man😆😆
all those deportment lessons in that swiss finishing school really paid off for seamus Mulldog.
One of the outtakes from Father Ted.
Does any one know this man in red
I'd like to see how long he could do that for drinking what he ballanced after each attempt.
made more impressive given the amount of hair product he's got on him.
I couldn't breathe watching that. I expected it all to slide off his head...so much hair oil lol
Auld buck had brylcreem to the bone
Characters the likes you will never see again
put you back 20 euro to try this now 🍀
never mind trying to find a box a matches
The lads at 2:02 staring on saying to themselves by fuck I wish I could do that 😅
Surrealism
Those guys watching g are waiting g for doom.
Disappointed that he didn’t set fire to the whiskey and do a Crazy World of Arthur Brown routine.
His 54 he looks 20 years older than me
That's the price of life-long moderate-to-heavy drinking 🤷♂️
Not too high a price for some, too high for me tho!
But are you 34?
@@davidh9529 I sure am boy
Nice and steady, he would have made a good man at stealing Catalytic Converters
Reminded me of the movie "The Wicker man"....John, John, get me out of here...😁😁
2:04 sez it all.
Serious men observing serious work
Nobody is smiling?😀😀😀😀😀
I’d say the smell of Guinness farts stained there clothes
legend has it that everyone in that room is still dead.
The look of concern piqued my interest
if the dutch ran ireland, it would be the world's biggest food exporter. if the irish ran holland, it would be under 10m of seawater
