The very mention of their name brings back the memories. Their ceili sound was regularly heard on hundreds of radio broadcasts. These are the bands and trios that set the tempo for countless thousands of Irish dancers over four decades. You can compare the styles, from the oldest (Gallowglass) to the youngest (Templehouse). This is surely a DVD for anyone who has ever danced a jig or reel – or would like to again! Highly recommended film.
