Jiggy is an Irish trad band with a difference.
‘Laethanta Saoire’ is a tune that was composed in the 90s by the legendary guitarist Steve Cooney, and although the band have played it many times it has never been recorded or released… until now that is! Jiggy are from Dublin Ireland, and as such wanted in this video, to portray Dublin with all its true grit and character. Jiggy is an Irish trad band with a difference. Mixing traditional Irish music, hip hop beats from the 1990s, and whatever else comes to mind. “New Irish band Jiggy put some serious pep in the step of traditional Irish Music.” Irish Central |

Goldenbridge Cemetery Inchicore Dublin.
|
Hidden away in a secluded site adjacent to the Grand canal in Inchicore, the 19th century ‘garden’ cemetery at Goldenbridge was the first Catholic cemetery to be laid out after the passing of the 'Act of Easement of Burial Bills' in the early 1800's.
Before the passing of the bill Roman Catholics living in Dublin City had no cemetery to bury the remains of their dead. By Law all burials could only take place in Protestant churchyards with fee’s been paid to the relevant pastor and no prayers could be recited. In 1823 Daniel O’Connell campaigned to change this situation, his goal was to acquire land were Catholics could be buried free and without any harassment. In the middle 1828 the Catholic Association purchased 3 acres of land 2 miles from the City of Dublin for the sum of £600 from Mathais O’Kelly. The Cemetery is now open to the public after may years of been a forgotten Dublin Graveyard. |
