Irish Sunday, From the past, LiveTrad

Is there something that was missing to me during the quarantine, it's basically presence of other peoples. I might be an introvert, be being alone for so long is really hard for everyone. So i come to the idea to get a placebo effect by watching live  recorded video and music performed in pubs and other place like that. I'm the silent one who's only spectate kind of person, so it worked well to me

Searching specifically for those type of of performances, I found a channel named Livetrad who were doing exactly that. Sadly, it's seem than that's not a thing anymore... not because of the viruses but it died around 5 year ago. not only Livetrad, but most if not all the peoples who posted those kind of performance on YouTube seems not active anymore.

This channel have posted by the pas some really interesting an great quality videos where we  can see, not only stage performance, but also some jams in crowded little pubs and bars. I really enjoy some of the earliest video from 9 years ago.  one of them, is the 4th video of the Dervish. it's really pleasant and seeing the youngling dancing on it is quite amusing.

Another one that I really like is the secod clip frome the O'Connors pub. the audio is not as good as it could be, but the atmosphere is genuinely good, and i like that the cameraman stop some time to observe the players. Ho and this place look really awesome to be in.

This YouTube page, like their social media pages and website is a beautiful time capsule for those who discovering the Irish traditional music and sadly it's seem to be forgotten with the time and the enthusiasm getting lost. ...but what a great time it was.
 
So, here I am, talking about dead YouTube account, hoping that one day, they will come back to life for sake of being enjoyable. At least, we still got some peoples who wont let it fade, like the peoples from LiveIreland whom their flame for this music never die. I thanks them for that, otherwise I wouldn't be there talking about this music.
