Absolutely delightful. I love the spoons (and the merry-hearted boys who play them).

[UNCLEMOMMY]

I have awesome spoon videos

[blether12]

Just back from Miltown. Some decent music in Cleary's with Antón MacGabhann and a few young ones playing in the back and the crowd just listening. Most of the rest not great, lots of yahoin' and background noise. And too many sessions with xxxxxx guitars banging away, four in one bar. Hoping to develop invisible scissors to snip any more than one guitar. I think we are losing something. Just an opinion. But I prefer music to noise. Clarebannerman's roots are in the right place.

The accordion player from 5:00 on is TERESA CONROY-SMULLEN. The man in the very back on spoons is her late husband Paddy. She has a CD release party in Oranmore on 8/15 with JOE BURKE. :)

[bolillo239]

[Spuddeeez]

for anyone interested, the other box player (woman) in the pub is Teresa Smullen. Her late husband, Paddy, is also in the pub (grey top playing spoons). She's releasing a CD soon.

Brilliant is right thats a great Session at the end , there is a shortage of them in other parts of Ireland , It is a shame that the irish  in some cases would rather listen to country and western garbage unbelievable

[no5eyparker]

Except that the cars in the video are all of them 1970's cars!

And look at the hairdos! Where in the world do you think you could find such a getup in Ireland in 2008?

Last most telling, the players are all Irish, and not a tourist anywhere!

If you want to hear a real Irish session you should first find some real Irish people playing in a session.

Best of luck with one.

Absulutly brilliant - been quoting this song for years now I can just forward it to them Cheers
