different,and not good for different reasons,is probably the right answer.
a while ago I saw a programme about Crookhaven,The programme was about the decline of the village
Seoda: The Irish Village (OS) Duration: 33:50
Rinneadh taifead ar 'The Irish Village' i mbaile Cruacháin i gCoraigh i 1959. Ba é James Clarke, stiúrthóir as an mBreatain, a stiúraigh an scannán. Bhuaigh sé gradaim BAFTA agus Oscar ina dhiaidh sin. Is meascán atá sa scannán d'antraipeolaíocht agus cur síos ar shochaí na háite, cur síos ar an saol i gCruachán i 1959. Sa ghuthú deirtear nach bhfuil aon cheo speisialta faoi Chruachán ach go bhfuil sé ag fáil bháis.
The Irish Village was shot in the town of Crookhaven, Co. Cork, in 1959 by James Clark, an English director who would go on to win Academy and BAFTA awards for his work as a film editor (on The Killing Fields & Vera Drake). It is a mix of anthropology and social commentary, a visual record of life in Crookhaven in 1959 with a voice-over that tells us that there is nothing special about Crookhaven 'except that it is dying'.
this was available on listen again on tg 4,at 23 minutes there is some irish trad music plus a boy stepdancing [quite fast ]to the boys of bluehill.re of the village.
the way the music was presented on this programme was an example of how it should be done.
This was shown on tg4.
