    Kilted Dancers on the Ed Sullivan show

    There are three segments to this video. The kilted dancers are in segment 2.
    What a treat to see Pat O'Brien in segment 3.

    I've only recently discovered the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. The power of their arrangments is just awesome. Enjoy

    Irish kilts tend to be plain colours - saffron ; Green and sometimes cream

    The Clancy Brothers and the Dubliners are the base of my music collection on itunes.. "Rising of the Moon" is about 150 years old and still a wonderful song.

    Remember the Saffron was first worn as a military kilt back in 1859 ish, so it had to be older than that, to represent the Irish. and the solid colored kilts can be seen in photos dated late 19th and early 20th centuries..Its the recent appearance of the Irish tartans that is the new addition to the kilting world. (with some exceptions of course)

    I looked the song up on Wikipedia (reliable source that it is) and found the lyrics. Why don't they sing the last part?
