Wish I could have been there! Thanks for posting these. I suspect that the interest in the sean-nós style is because it's an art form that seems like regular people can do. I like the older two videos best of all; they seem more like people just doing it, rather than a performance. Although I know the two old guys were performing, there's something so diffident in their manner.
Right now my favorite sean-nós singer is Nell Ní Chróinín. Wish I could find a longer recording of her than the two clips on YouTube.
