Old enough to remember those glorious programmes presented by Ciarán in the early 60's. Tuesday evening & Sunday afternoon were the highlights of the week in our house, "Job of Journey Work" on Tuesday & Ceolta Tíra on Sunday afternoon. This is brilliant stuff & great great playing.
beautiful music and presentation. Thanks Larry for posting this. I had the fortune of meeting Andy McGann in 1981 but had only started to play fiddle in '76 the year after your grandfather had passed.
really fantastic stuff, thanks for sharing this. Before I moved to NYC from Virginia, I used to come up about every other weekend to hear Andy McGann at Kearny's.
Absolutely wonderful clip, I LOVED every moment of it! Thanks so much for uploading your clips and transporting to us all in 2011 such incredible music and photos from the past . MANY THANKS! Shona ;-)

Tunes by set: 1) Buckley's Fancy / The Golden Keyboard; 2) McFadden's / Mama's Pet; 3) Street Player (Reavy)
It was ...the first I heard playing it was Joe Bourke around 1960.
@oldflute It was indeed!
Was Seamus Cooley in this group....who is playing the Piccolo?
I am pretty sure my dad said it was Jerry Wallace...
Hmm. So Golden Keyboard was current in the early 60s...
