Im fairly sure the box player is Jim McGrath, from Monea in Co. Fermanagh. The fiddle player with the hat could be Andy Dickson, though it's hard to tell. These guys played with a group called Howdens Leap at the time, I think.
These were called the brefnie set dancers from cavan. The man at the top Pe sexton and man facing him Tommy King have passed away. The couple on the left are a husband and wife duo.
The 2nd top gent's footwork is marvellous (the other men I couldn't see)
Happy New Year from Vienna!
Beautiful dancing. They remind me of the great Kells Set Dancers

Great dancing and footwork. I love the Cavan set.

If this is the old style of dancing, in what way have things changed?
