Very grateful for the excellent videos and first class music, especially the Old Bay ceili band with Cooleys reel, then a close parallell,, the Botha from Fermanagh...but all are a joy to hear..

This band gets better every time I hear them: the variations are very tasty, and the rhythm is sublimely swingy. It makes me want to get up and dance, and thats the point, innit? Absolute dynamite!

While I’ve enjoyed all the videos, the Old Bay Ceili Band are “home” favourites.
Thanks for the recording!
