De Dannan (1983) in Neachtains pt 3

The rollicking good spirited music of De Dannan fitted to a collage of beautiful old photographs of Galway city, interspersed with session footage of De Danann playing at Neachtains in Galway city and on a boat in the Galway canal.

Fantastic music. This is one (if not the) best trad lineups ever. Does anyone know the name of the waltz from ~4mins in.

[j69sunnerd]

One of the tunes is known as "Boys of Malin".

Not a great recording - top-heavy bodhran! Shame, but great playing no doubt. The best session recording I've ever heard is from Neachtain's on a CD carrying the pub's name, from the late 90's; it's "Gerry Ward's" followed by "Out on the ocean" - absolutely brutal!

@kfh51 It's "La Valse Joyeuse", a French-Canadian tune.
