Yeah, I noticed that too when I tried to play along. Though taht can eb fun you know, turning jigs into reels and vice versa. I do that with the Maid Behind the Bar, it works very well.

I guess this must have been a re-enactment for some history program. I thought that little girl dancing was cute

It's simply a jig (the name if which escapes me) that has been transformed into a reel, that is followed by Drowsy Maggie. No big whoop.

The lederhosen is the clincher for me.

Rose in the Heather.

There's also a tune before Drowsy Maggie, played only once.
The A part sounds like Morrison's, but the B is different...
I know I've heard it in session before, 'cause I tried to play
Morrison's and had to stop when the B came around.

The reelifying of jigs (or vice-versa) is common.
Green Fields of America is the reel'd version of
Maid in the Meadow

And the dubbing is very good for such countrified folks as well!

See frames at 2.13 where the little girl playing the box adjusts her shoulder strap all the while not missing one note.

Nevertheless it is very cute and well done even if a dub!

It's called Whelan's Jig.

How about this one?

King of the Fairies, indeed!

Actually he has some skills but almost loses the plot on a few turns because of his, um, flair.

Actually, I enjoy these clips, particularly tinwhistler's.

I think it takes a bit of nerve to film yourself and put it on internet for the whole world to see. (and critique)

I wouldn't do it. But that's just me.

Are any of y'all hiding on youtube? hmmm?

Out of respect for the memory of the lady holding the baby, deceased some 20 years ago, below is a link to a biography of these folks, The Kellys.
