Here are a few videos that show my buildout. The first one is relatively new (it was taken along with the pictures on the home page). The camera work is not the best, but you’ll get a good view of everything. The second is an update I did back in 2022 (more of an art film); the last is an old one from 2020 which shows how the pub originally took form and offers commentary. The opening is from 2001 a Space Odyssey if you think it’s weird. It has meaning if you saw the movie.
This is one of my favorite old videos. Singer Tom Lenihan from Miltown Malbay at the Kilrush Fleadh in 1967. Tom also called the song “Paddy’s Panacea.” Someone recently colorized this video and added some history/context. It should pop up after this original (now 17 yrs posted on youtube). If it doesn’t, search on “Stick to the Cratur.” The lyrics are in the youtube description. The tune itself is a simple jig often called “Larry O’Gaff’s.” Larry O’Gaff’s (jig) on The Session
Kevin Furguson created this excellent video in 2016 of the Irish summering in the Catskills. It is still an active Irish region – every July the area hosts the Catskill Irish Arts Week. If you are into Irish music, dance, or just the culture, it is not to be missed!! I noticed Kevin has also produced a number of follow-up podcasts HERE.
