65 tracks of Irish folklore in music, song & dance from the RTE archives. Over 3 hours of magic.
Stretching from 1961 (so you get some black & white as well as colour) a lot of the performances are 'one-offs' never to be repeated. Many are debut performances and some are seeds that grew into much bigger things.
As ever, the hairstyles are an added extra.
