@TheCuilinn No. Although, you may find many ill informed among a populace no matter what shore you beach upon. Many of us "yanks" know we inherited a rich heritage of traditions, customs and all manner of celebrations from our European forbearers whether they be English, Irish, German, Polish, Swedish, Scottish, etc. it was the eventual blend of customs and other societal or geographical influences that gave many of these customs a uniquely American adaptation.
Why Irish hillbillies? the feuding dancing verity often depicted on film are taken from two families the Sutton's & Taylor's who both originated from the (west midlands of England) Black country.
@greenpilgrim50 the people who were known as hillbillies were scothch irish... i.e ulster scots protestant and they weren't irish.... if you want a history just let me know.... they were known as hillbillies because of the battle of the boyne and prince william of orange = william = billy = hill = billy's
Yes, there were a couple of details that gave the date away. However, any critics of this film should give it a try and see if they could create something like this from their home videos. It's not as easy as it looks. Nice special effects! I agree, the hair styles were out of date.
I am not so convinced that this is such an old film, you know. Being a historian, the hairstyles of the ladies in this film are much too modern. A couple appear to be wearing digital watches.. But a nice film anyway.
Clog dancing was practised in England in the middle ages

Excellent, We've done some 'old' style vids too.
It's a sort of nod to the original folk dance revivalists

i would have liked the video done normally - are they dancing "whalley"? Loved the random hobby horse!
