Saw a video clip of the Clones Fleadh, 1964 on a Facebook page. Managed to find a better version on the BBC web page. Felix Doran is filmed playing "Cook in the kitchen", starting at 3 mins 39 sec. into the clip. I hadn't seen this before. Andy Irvine and Luke Kelly come after.

Steampacket has posted this several times before since 2014, a forum search may bring up other links, YouTube etc.
You can also watch Fleadh Cheoil Clones. I didn't watch that in full so I don't know if it's the same footage.

Rory, it's also on YouTube, though the quality isn't quite as good as the BBC page. Give this a try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0cIHpfjeyo.

Just watched, and downloaded, the one I linked above . It seems to be a different one than the one I saw before and different from the youtube link above. No Felix but young Mickey Doran playing Rakish Paddy with Bobby Casey and a flute player, among others.

I hadn't seen that recording either. Thanks for that. The flute player with Bobby and Mikey was Roger Sherlock.

Of course it's a mere snapshot, but one sees old people playing, young people sitting around drinking.
As we know in the period immediately before The Folk Revival many sorts of trad music were on the verge of extinction, and we're getting a view of that process. Who knew then that trad music would explode in popularity in a decade or two.
Music aside, the dress of the women at 2:32 is interesting, and the cone hats seen at 0:44
And I can't believe the eejit trying to drive his car down the street packed with humanity 0:55

Re: Felix Doran at Clones Fleadh, 1964.
In the BBC footage that's also on Youtube, it sure looks like the flute player at around the 3:20 mark is playing some kind of Radcliffe-esque flute. Lots of silver on it, at least. Paddy Taylor comes to mind as someone who'd have been active then playing that kind of flute, although I'm not convinced it quite sounds like him (then again, the sound quality plus playing in a group will alter that a lot).

One of the earlier iterations of this discussion had some identifications, or stabs at it anyway : see here
Standard strawboy attire, we had a discussion about those on the whistle forum, some time ago
