A Dublin man talks about his memories from childhood as the piano, fiddle, guitar and flute play a slow soothing jig. He speaks about how his Grandad had great faith in Mother Mary and how he would often say the rosary. He then talks about his grandfather's death on Christmas as the music becomes anticipatory and excited while we imagine him finally meeting Jesus.
The video shows scenes from old Dublin. Including the Anna Livia (Floozie in the Jacoozy) statue and the well loved and fondly remembered 'Mad Mary' of O'Connell street.
Instruments: Fiddle, Piano, Guitar, Flute, Low Whistle, Tin Whistle.
