Irish Tradition : Albert Fry : Tráth Nóna Beag Aréir

[Dezmau]

sounds like a beautiful song.. Are the lyrics available in English? Caherciveen, County Kerry...  That is where my ancestors came from before they emigrated to South Africa in 1815.. ( I'm the first one back..) Wish I knew where Dr. Geoffrey O'Connell was buried...

What town is that at 3:25 with the castle and the straight bridge across the river? I know I have another unanswered question here as well, try both of them, go on!! 

[UISTMAN59]

@davidoffon That's Caherciveen, County Kerry.

[davidoffon]

@UISTMAN59 You're right, I checked on Googael and it matchismos almost exactly, I've obviously never been there, car travel, see, thanks.

[davidoffon]

Is this the RTE version from 1979 as requested by Nuala O'faolain?

This video is just wonderful ! A beautiful song, sung so intensely by  a great singer and scenes comparable to those in your own part of the world.

Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated.

[UISTMAN59]

Beautiful song and more exquisite photos. I really like the green house at about 3:21. Plus all the green is so welcome now that outside my window is all white.

[UISTMAN59]

@WhiteTiger333 There's something about that picture that just shouts "Ireland" :-)

[saltwaterballads]

Lovely video and song. I'm strangely drawn to the geraniums in the huge teapot.

[UISTMAN59]

@saltwaterballads Thanks Julie. I like the picture but I'm afraid that, for the best part of forty years , geranium pots have tended to make me think only of the line from "Seven Drunken Nights" by The Dubliners. :-)

great vid cheers for sharing

[UISTMAN59]

@dundee520 Thanks Ian. I first heard this singer at the PanCeltic festival in Killarney in 1984. He has a nice laid back style.:-)
