DVD Reviews of Come West Along the Road - Irish Traditional Music
DVD Review: definitely worth a punt....
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen most of the episodes of Come West Along the Road on telly back home, so there wasn't a lot new here for me - still nice to have it all on a DVD though. For my tastes it's a wee bit heavy on songs, seems like there's a tune, and then a song, a tune and then a song etc etc. I suppose if you prefer songs you'll think it's a bit top heavy with tunes! Fun spotting the younger versions of well known musicians (a very young Martin Hayes with short hair, or Kieran Hanrahan with Stockton's Wing). With all the wealth of material RTE has in their archives, it'd be nice if they put out a lot more of these, maybe with themes, such as "songs", "Sliabh Luachra", fleadh cheoil na heireann", etc, etc. Just a thought...DVD Review: Come West Along the Road

Summary: 5 Stars
What an absolute treasure this is; for anybody with even a passing interest in traditional Irish music, this compilation is both entertaining and enlightening. Many of the featured musicians are now credited with having been (pardon me) instrumental in keeping traditional Irish music alive ... Paddy Keenan, Andy Irvine, Paul Brady, etc. Their talent and skill are extraordinary and they have since achieved well-deserved celebrity. And it was a delight to see them perform in their early days. The footage of perhaps lesser known musicians and dancers, though, represents an absorbing peek into the past, nostalgic for those fortunate enough to have grown up in such a time and place and culture, and a vicarious pleasure for the rest of us. Not only have I watched it numerous times, I have lent it to friends who have kept it for weeks only to return it reluctantly. Pure transport.DVD Review: Come West Along the Road
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD is an amazing collection of gems of traditional Irish music. Hardcore traditionalists (myself included) will almost drool over some of the selections herein. For fans of more progressive Irish music, I can't recommend this highly enough, if only as a frame of reference as to where the younger musicians are coming from. For anyone wishing to play (or sing) Irish music, this should be required viewing!
