1929 film of Sean Nós Dancing in Ireland
Here is what I believe to be one of the oldest film, audio recordings of seannós dancing from Ireland. It features a blind man named as Pádraig Ó Maoláin dancing to a melodeon which is being played off camera. I came across this by chance in the Fox News Collection and I believe it was recorded around May 1929. I am unsure of the exact location but it is just incredible. I also have another video of Pádraig singing which Ill share another time so keep on liking this page to see more. Enjoy. Text: Michael Fortune Credit: Fox, SC Library
