De Dannan on a boat part 1 (1980)
Loading...
Uploaded by Sumptayum on Nov 3, 2007
Classic footage of Galway's De Dannan on a boat in Galway Bay filmed for Ashling Gheal in 1980. When I split AVI files up the picture quality suffered, so hopefully you'll still enjoy this. Maybe someone will have a better quality file of this they can upload. Forgot to mention Alec Finn must have been on holidays, or something, no sign of him on this clip.

@turbotrauma A working boat, a people's boat. Reminds me of Joshua Slocum's "Spray," 1st to round the world around 1900 as a single hander. He rebuilt it from a derelict oyster fishing boat. Many later replicas are famous for easy handling and riding at sea, and prolonged self steering. People's music on a people's boat, in both cases one work of people's art meant to support another.

such great soul, music and traditions Ireland has
as the Irish proverb says it: "The most beautiful music of all is the music of what happens."

Nice going. Thanks for posting. But regarding "Alec Finn must have been on holidays,... no sign of him on this clip." -- isn't that Alec on the banjo?

Thats Charlie Piggott on the banjo, he was De Danann's banjo player from 75-83 I think. About 1983 or was it 1982, Charlie had an accident with his hand, and hasn't played the banjo since, he plays the box instead now. Alec has always played the Greek Bouzuoki, thats his main instrument.
