This second program of film clips from the RTE Archives, dating from the 1960s to the 1980s, features a wide range of material, including clips of the heroes of the 1970s revival, but in slightly different situations. From... more » the same Bothy Band concert featured on Vol. 1, Kevin Burke is shown singing the hilarious 'Mrs. Gilhooley's Party', with impeccable comedic timing and great lilting to boot; Andy Irvine, Paul Brady, and Donal Lunny give a powerful performance of Irvine's Balkan-tinged arrangement of 'Plains of Kildare' ; Frankie Gavin, Jackie Daly, and Alec Finn deliver a lively set of reels; and Dolores Keane and Reel Union give a wonderful rendition of 'Craigie Hills'. But perhaps more interesting even are the clips featuring some of the well-known figures of the tradition, like Fred Finn and Peter Horan, Seamus Ennis, and Larry McDonagh. Some of the much lesser known players are also a delight, like Mary Brogan on the harmonica, Liz King on the whistle, and Ella Mae Dwyer on the concertina. The Donegal fiddle tradition is well represented, with a clip featuring seven fiddle players among whom are Con Cassidy, Francie Byrne, Vincent Campbell, and James Byrne.« less
