Jim, I think Martin was probably talking about An Gabharaín Buí (The Little Yellow Goat)which is a dance that Dan Furey and James Keane from Labasheeda used do. As far as know its danced with two crossed sticks and is a little like a scottish sword dance. But, there are similarities with the brush dance which may have evolved from it.
