De Dannan at 1981 Milwaukee Irish Fest

Up close and personal with De Dannan onstage at the 1981 Milwaukee Irish Fest. De Dannan had previously played in Milwaukee in 1978 for a concert organized by festival founder Ed Ward at Wauwatosa West High School. The band returned for the festival seven more times over the years.

This is another clip from b-roll filmed on u-matic tape during the first festival. You can watch all footage from this particular tape (IFFD UT 00-002) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O6nmpurJzs
