5 out of 5 stars A look back at some of the finest in Irish music   December 12, 2008
Barbara Ellen Joyce (Bronxville,New York USA)
"Come West Along the Road" is a wonderful "look back" at the best in Irish music from RTE. Many of the artists will be known to you (such as the young "Chieftains") but many are unknown. They are all very talented musicians and singers. I would recommend this DVD, especially to those who already have a love for Irish music.


5 out of 5 stars Great ole Traditional Irish Music   November 23, 2008
Gary L. Stagman (Granite City, IL USA)
Really enjoyed the music. It covers alot of time, but the heart of the misic is always there to listen to and appreciate.


5 out of 5 stars If real Irish traditional music is your genre, this is a must have DVD   September 21, 2008

If you are fanatical about real Irish traditional music and have Irish roots, this is a must have DVD. This is to say, if this is not your genre, if you are looking for more modern Irish or Celtic Music, if you have no roots connection with Irish traditional music, you may find this DVD a mismatch for your interests.

If you are a fanatic, Failte (welcome)! This is as deep Irish as you can go. This DVD is a very large number of RTE television music broadcasts covering 30 years. Its highlights for this fanatic starts with seeing old black and white footage of pub groups playing and dancing to reels and jigs (imperfections but tons of heart), a young unknown boy in a pub singing in a perfect beautiful voice (whatever happened to him?), Tommy Peoples playing "naked fiddle" (solo) to absolute perfection, seeing the old Andy Irvine and Donal Lunny combination of Bouzouki and Octave Mandolin through several tracks with the Bothy Band and Planxty, Seeing a young Matt Molloy in his prime playing fast and fluid flute, seeing an old man doing a lively step dance marathon with a pleasant smile on his face to Wren Boys - St Stephens Day celebration music, seeing an excellent reel played by the old De Danann group, hearing Tommy Makem singing Farewell to Ireland, and Stockton's Wing playing a fast and furious reel with Tommy Hayes setting the pace on bones and bodhran (Irish Drum). Within 48 tracks, you are going to find at least a dozen memorable archival gems that are going to make this purchase well worthwhile. Some of our history is comprised of fond memories that are too precious not to be saved forever.



5 out of 5 stars Fine traditional Irish music and dancing!   July 9, 2008

Others have given five gold stars to this DVD - I would like to add my own. This is an opportunity to open a window and view traditional Irish music and dancing as it was done by groups of people and individuals who dance for the pure enjoyment of it. It is not done by professionals, but by ordinary, every day citizens of "Erin's Green Isle". My hat is off to the Irish public television station who went out and recorded this bit of Irish life. I highly reconmmend this DVD - my guess is you will not be able to resist getting out of your easy chair and dancing along with the Irish folk.


1 out of 5 stars Disappointing   June 24, 2008

This music grew tiresome in a hurry. I gave away the CD as I did not enjoy it.
