Programme details poetry readings, ceilí music, storytelling, comedy acts, Irish dancing, ballads and traditional music performed by Ronnie Drew, Barney McKenna and Ciaran Burke, Áine Nic Canna and Mairtín Ó Diomsaigh amongst others. it also features many advertisements [such as Leo Burdock's Fish and Chips, Werburgh St.; Kennedy's Bread; New Ireland Insurance, 12 Dawson St., Dublin and an advertisment for Player's Cigarette's and on page 19 an advertisement for Guinness amongst others] and encourages the purchase of Irish goods and the speaking of the Irish language. |
