Here is one of the videos, that Ard mhacha was talking about..
Brendan O'Dowda profiling the life of Percy French, 1854 -- 1920, from his art-work, poems and most of all the songs Percy French had written. Also the wonderful singing voice of Brendan O'Dowda. Get a cup of tea and a few biscuits, sit-down relax and watch this brilliant documentry.
