Duncannon images

[museumtom]

I have only been at this living history thing about three years but this years Duncannon was the best show of any previously done by me. I am not great at taking video but did so anyway and will upload some over the next few days. Remember most of it was taken at the very beginning when stuff was being set up and the rest of the time I was busy....enjoying myself. Crowd numbers were way up, Paul Merton filmed most of Saturday. Every half hour there was a new demonstration put on by all the multi period groups from opening time on Saturday and Sunday. I even did a bit myself when the Tipperary/Cork Flying Squad Column IRA type guys stepped into being, simply out of an idea.
I burned the face off myself. The wife gave me some sun block but would I use it? Eli Wallach in The good the bad and the ugly hit it on the head when he said to Clint Eastwood (he looked like I did) 'Dont die Blondie!!' To the organisers I say many thanks for all the kindness shown to our humble selves and roll on next year!! Saturday, after the Massacre on the beach between the Yanks, Brits, and Germans the local pub was visited and not only was there a band but two hen parties paid a visit. Walking wounded were well tended. I forgot to say that this first clip was taken by 101 Sean Ryan in one of his moments of madness for which he is so famous for, go on ya good thing Sean!!
I will start uploading some video from Duncannon. Use them as you wish.Anyone else who has footage please add them here.
Regards Lobster face Tom.

Would the Munster Fusilier who had the table in the square please pm me. The information on the Fromelles casualty is not correct and you are not to proceed. Sorry about forgetting your name, its an age thing.
Anyway this should have been the first video posted.

They look fantastic Tom, thanks for posting them.

We were welcomed, thanked, fed and well looked after, and I thought your display was brilliant!!. I would also like to thank Jude for the loan of the 1911 and blanks so that I could be all rebbley for a time. Those trench coats are hot, and I don't mean in a sexy way.
By the way you left your socks in my tent, I dont thank you for that, Sean Ryan will never be the same, he rolled over on to them. A special thank you to the Passage East Ferry who did not charge to bring military vehicles across and back. It took a good few miles off our journey.
Another bit of video for ye

And to the shithead of a viking reenactor ( you know who you are) who felt he just had to comment on my medievel weapon display and about how my swords and axes weren't real, if I clubbed you with them would your injuries be real?

So were his weapons actually once owned by a Viking?

Was he the same non-slim viking that insisted that we rebels do the 'I'm a little teapot' so he could video it? He insisted that lots of the groups that attended this weekend did it for him. We explained to him the error of his ways and left the moat.
More for you.
