1929 film of Sean-Nós Dancing in Ireland

Here is what I believe to be one of the oldest film/audio recordings of sean-nós 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 I’ll share another time - so keep on liking this page to see more. Enjoy. Text: Michael Fortune Credit: Fox/SC Library
