    This is beautiful. How wonderful to see young Irish people who have a love of their own language. My Grandfather emigrated to Boston in 1910 from County Kerry. When another Irish man heard him speaking Irish to a friend on a street corner, he said, "Sure, that language is no good to you now, boy. Give it up." My grandfather clung to the Irish language all his life. It was like a life raft for him.

      I'm so glad your Grandfather clung to his language. My husband's grandparents emigrated to the US from Norway as teenagers, and they only spoke Norwegian to each other. They felt that since they were in America, the children should speak English. Because of that, my husband only knows one Norwegian prayer and a few other Norwegian words. It's sad really.

    Absolutely wonderful to see young people so much into preserving their heritage, culture, music and language. We have a very similar situation in Wales and there are those who insist on trying to undermine our progress. I'm honest in that I do not understand why. We/you are peoples who have evolved and developed these skills since the Bronze age.. Why should we not fight to preserve them. They are unique. Love your music. Be strong you are on the right side of history.

      @@davidk7049 I know it sounds crazy, but the success of our football team has been a major catalyst in the recent revival, especially with kids. In the past, speaking Welsh was seen as uncool, backwards, embarrassing. Doesn't help that we are exposed to English media which disparages the Welsh language and culture, which compounds the shame.
      Now the football team uses the Welsh language in banners, using Cymru instead of Wales. Only a handful of the football team are Welsh speakers, so this is coming from non-Welsh speakers which is amazing.
      The success of Yma o Hyd, which is a Welsh nationalist folk song (until recently was probably the most uncool thing ever!), and kids enjoying singing the song.
      Also with the football, people outside of Britain are hearing out language being sung and they enjoy it, it kind of helps that others see value in our language even if 'our neighbours' don't.
      You need something similar in Ireland. Find a way to make Irish cool. Language is a treasure.

    A people that have lost their language are a people who have lost their soul. Thanks for keeping the Sean nos singing alive My grandfather came from Glangevlin, Ct.Cavan which was Irish speaking until the 50's. He came from a long line of Maguires, MacAuleys, Magaurans, Flanagan's. He had to leave Glasgow for NYC because of a bare knuckle fight he had with a Scotsman. I left America to live in a Mayo Gaeltacht as a wee lad Amazing experience!

    Diolch am hyn! Great vocals and melody. People all around the world are told their language is dead from tribal peoples to regional languages but there is also a lot of enthusiasm / desire for people to learn their languages. There is also a sense of loss and disconnect among many people from their culture that can be found on many threads on YT.

    Thank you for this. I can’t speak gaélico/ Irish (I’m bilingual in English and Spanish castellano) but my Dad’s mother came from the Gaelic speaking west coast of Ireland to Kilkenny where she met my Grandfather from there with family in Dublin too. Nana used to speak to us in Gaelic when we were little and Granddad being from east coast like my dad couldn’t speak Irish. Granddad used to say it’s a waste of time …. I bought a course in Irish some time ago and never studied it. One day I will. But I do love Gaelic language and songs and traditional music. Thank you for this message and for educating people in the importance of keeping the language music and culture alive. Carmelo.

    I have such a connection to Irish songs/culture. I am Scottish however and from the Lowlands and cannot speak Gaidhlig (although I am working on this!). Looking at my family tree I have some great-great-great grandparents from Ireland (unfortunately I am not sure where). I love Scottish Gaelic and Irish due to their mutual intelligibility. But it's more than just understanding the language - it's about the culture and connection between our Celtic cousins. I was in Ireland for the spring at friends in a small village in County Meath - I felt right at home. Is toigh leam Èirinn agus saor Alba!
