DVD Reviews of Come West Along the Road - Irish Traditional Music

DVD Review: If real Irish traditional music is your genre, this is a must have DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are fanatical about real Irish traditional music and have Irish roots, this is a must have DVD. This is to say, if this is not your genre, if you are looking for more modern Irish or Celtic Music, if you have no roots connection with Irish traditional music, you may find this DVD a mismatch for your interests.

If you are a fanatic, Failte (welcome)! This is as deep Irish as you can go. This DVD is a very large number of RTE television music broadcasts covering 30 years. Its highlights for this fanatic starts with seeing old black and white footage of pub groups playing and dancing to reels and jigs (imperfections but tons of heart), a young unknown boy in a pub singing in a perfect beautiful voice (whatever happened to him?), Tommy Peoples playing "naked fiddle" (solo) to absolute perfection, seeing the old Andy Irvine and Donal Lunny combination of Bouzouki and Octave Mandolin through several tracks with the Bothy Band and Planxty, Seeing a young Matt Molloy in his prime playing fast and fluid flute, seeing an old man doing a lively step dance marathon with a pleasant smile on his face to Wren Boys - St Stephens Day celebration music, seeing an excellent reel played by the old De Danann group, hearing Tommy Makem singing Farewell to Ireland, and Stockton's Wing playing a fast and furious reel with Tommy Hayes setting the pace on bones and bodhran (Irish Drum). Within 48 tracks, you are going to find at least a dozen memorable archival gems that are going to make this purchase well worthwhile. Some of our history is comprised of fond memories that are too precious not to be saved forever.
