I love the way (around :50) the narrator says Tommy is "charged with the enormous task of gathering all these songs together" just as yer man lifts a creamy pint to his gob.
This is amazing. The traveller John Reilly they mentioned was the source of a lot of songs later made famous by Planxty (The Raggle Taggle Gypsy etc.). They also did the song the man sings in this video, Lord Baker.
The man playing the flute at the beginning was the late blind flute player Josie Mc Dermott from County Roscommon..I remember him well as he used to stay in my uncle's house on the odd visit to Dublin.
There is so much Irish folk culture in Australia. It has made itself our culture as well as the entire UK of coarse. I just love hearing the fiddle and flute in our (Aussie) old folk songs. 🇦🇺

Watching this again, in the house that we are selling, which is our home; it became known as mums, she died last year at 93. We are so lucky as a family to have learnt more than just songs, but family, respect and history. I am sat on the floor in her house, our home. I can never recreate with my children what we had.
Lived down southern lreland, in 1970's. Loved it. We were taken there, during the troubles, in belfast. When l was 15 years old l went back again. My sons tour to it, with their families.
What invaluable work Tommy has done. But also, how great it is to still see and hear the wonderful Doireann Ní Bhriain, a stalwart of RTÉ at the time and since. Doireann's is the voice still announcing each Luas stop along your journey, whether An Bhó Dhearg (Red Cow) or Cé Sheoirse, (George's Quay).
The flute the gentleman is seen to be holding probably was made around 1868 . It has a Barrell Head joint. I have a silver head joint made around that time that I use on my Boehm system flute sometimes.
@@Tamar-sz8ox I'll be posting on Y/T in a few weeks time, myself playing the Barrell Head Foot Joint. I'll inform you when it will be so. In the meantime, type my name into Y/T and you may finf some flute playing that might just interest you. Best wishes, Bob
Love that fella at the start, getting well and truly stuck into the Guinness(?). It look's like he's starting with half a glass, having probably got rid of the first half in one go, now he's taking care of the second half. Get it in to ya' mate!
Amazing video. Can you find any Videos of Blind Mary Delaney and her brother Paddy O'Reilly? I and my family would love to see them. Thank you for posting this video and your work.
I think I found the collection referred to in the video in the UCD folklore collection at this link digital.ucd.ie/view/ivrla:31056 plenty more on the Irish Traditional Music Archive website i think
Have you got any old footage of Cork in Newmarket Crookhaven and Skibbereen. All of my mothers side came from these areas and it would be lovely looking at what it looked like and the people
Another great post! Is the folklorist Tommy Mallory? Hard to hear his last name. Someone needs to locate his recordings. I'm fascinated by these films from the 60s and 70s. You get a glimpse of a lyrical older Ireland.
Actually its Tom Munnelly. He passed in 2007 but his massive archives are at the National Folklore Collection. www.ucd.ie/news/0709_sep/010807_munnelly.html
Did any of these people get credits or royalties? Many a man traveled the countryside all over and harvested the songs for his own. I'm not saying that is the case here but once it is known the secret is out and others can and will hop on it.
was this part of project where People were sent out all over the world with tape recorders and getting different kinds of spoken Gaelic on tape before the last speakers passed away?
So the first thing you see is a man drinking a pint , then you see a bar full of men and the next thing that is said that Irish music is passed on from father to son . Well that about sums up the reason why I’m now 77 yrs old women and just picking up the fiddle which is what I would have loved to get to do growing up in Dublin. Next thing he said is just go up to a man and go to house for a sing song. This is the culture that only included boys and men .
Strange comment to make "songs passed from father to sons" ! thats a bit sexist , Our Irish music and songs were passed through the generations through daughters and sons ! Women were singers writers Musicians and dancers
It’s not strange at all it’s a nice sentiment and should be taken in the grace it was said. Nobody would be offended by it because it would be universally understood.

Ahh but its hard work visiting all those pubs for research purposes
😂
The cinematography in this is incredible. Reminds me of French New Wave cinema, like Jean-Luc Godard and the likes.
This is amazing. The traveller John Reilly they mentioned was the source of a lot of songs later made famous by Planxty (The Raggle Taggle Gypsy etc.). They also did the song the man sings in this video, Lord Baker.
Well below the valley was one of his
Reilly’s most famous song, though, was The Well Below the Valley- also covered by Planxty.

Many, many thanks for this and the other Irish videos. Beautiful. Much appreciated.
Please keep these videos coming. I love how random the subject matter is yet so specifically Irish.
Well it's a cultural thing the drinking and dancing fighting etc. a bit gypsy.
@@AnnaLVajda really? I don't think these musicians are interested in fighting.
@@AnnaLVajda Gypsys and Irish travellers are two distinct separate groups.

I love the feeling the singer conveys, I'm so glad I'm able to watch and enjoy this videos, thank you!
His beard, mustache and haircut are back in fashion. Only took 50 years.
Was going to say, john Reilly's haircut very much in style today.

Would like to hear and see more of Tommy's work . Is there a series of recordings of him gathering songs like this one ?

Just Ireland lad no place I know called "southern Ireland"

A different world back then.
Then the Irish went to the Banks and got Debt Rich. They don't Care about people, only about Money. Big house, Big job, Big cars, Big holidays.
I'm just watching him drinking that pint of stout 😋
Very soon again after a long long time.
A pint of plain is your only man...
Thanks again for another great video 👍
The flute the gentleman is seen to be holding probably was made around 1868 .
It has a Barrell Head joint. I have a silver head joint made around that time that I use on my Boehm system flute sometimes.
Wow 😯

Incidentally, the flute head was given to me by James Galway.
I never knew Zach Galifinakis was Irish or named Tommy!
Very informative thanks.

Alcoholic.
He needs to take the pledge.
I love the history 🍀
Awesome video CR you do it best.👍😎☘️
It's a pity the government or its departments don't give a shite about Irish tradition anymore. We will never get this back again.
Tradition is carried by people not government. Loss of tradition would be the collective fault of the Irish people for turning their backs on it.
F.G. are not Irish. They west brits.
What a genuine person
Love this x
This man is a legend. Imagine having that job!!!
Excellent
Munnelly's research notes are in the Irish Folklore Commission archive in UCD
This is a great discovery, many thanks for sharing. If I am right, it's narrated by Doireann Ní Bhriain (?)😊
Great 🇮🇪☘️🕊
Amazing video. Can you find any Videos of Blind Mary Delaney and her brother Paddy O'Reilly? I and my family would love to see them. Thank you for posting this video and your work.
He was ahead of his time, he saw the decline coming
Brilliant, and everyone has their own head of hair.
Travellers community are a living archive
Does anyone know where the folk songs he collected are kept? Can they be accessed online ?
I think I found the collection referred to in the video in the UCD folklore collection at this link digital.ucd.ie/view/ivrla:31056 plenty more on the Irish Traditional Music Archive website i think
@@wes7600 Amazing, Thanks Wesley! Really appreciate it!
A tinker singing a song ,
Great to see this fabulous documentary presented by John Lennon
🤣 Mary Lennon
Wank off
You should go on stage .
Have you got any old footage of Cork in Newmarket Crookhaven and Skibbereen. All of my mothers side came from these areas and it would be lovely looking at what it looked like and the people
does anyone know where I can find videos from this time period with music, such as that in the beginning of this video, being played?

That would also have been the responsibility of the Irish Folklore Commission. Séamus Ennis would have been collecting a lot from Irish speaking areas

Vintage Ron Swanson Irish Hipster vibes.
Original Irish music is so bad it hurts my ears tbh
