Frank's Hall Remembered
I remember going dancing to Frank Harty’s hall. You were supposed to be over 18 to get in. The dances were held on Wednesday and Sunday nights – 3 pence to get in.

These dances ended at 10.30 p.m. But if you had an extension the dance went on until 1.00 a.m. and cost a shilling. An ‘all night’ dance went on until 3.00 a.m. and cost one shilling and six pence. Local musicians usually played - Rodger Harty, Patie Connell and Michael McCrohan.

Money was scarce and a good many people didn’t have the three pence to get in. But Frank Harty never left anybody outside, he allowed everybody in after a while

I remember the Irish College in the 1940’s. We really looked forward to it. It was run by an Irish teacher from Dingle, Mr. Fitzgerald. There were lots of students learning Irish but we just liked the céilís. Micheál and I went almost every night, walking of course. Kathleen English usually came with us. I think we paid 5 shillings a month to get in. We did lots of different dances, Cor na Síóg, 8 Hand Reel, 16 Hand Reel, Droichead Átha Luan and we always had Rogha na gCailíní. It was great fun. We were very lonely when ‘the collegians’ went away.
