  • The Deerfoot of Dowras: John J. Daly (1880-1969)
    ‘The Deerfoot of Dowras’ John J. Daly, (1880 - 1969) By Padraig Stevens ©2012 Padraig Stevens ‘The Deerfoot of Dowras’. John J. Daly, (1880 - 1969) Athenry was bedecked with banners and bunting in August 2008 when local man Paul Hession competed in the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, reaching the semi-finals of the 200 metre sprint. His home town took pride in the achievements of the young medical student, the “fastest man in Ireland.” A little over one hundred years before Hession’s time, another local began his illustrious career in the same town. John James Daly, ‘The Deerfoot of Dowras’ claimed that his interest in athletics began at a sports meeting in Athenry when he had a go at the high jump. To quote from an interview printed in the Connacht Tribune on Sept. 13th 1958 “On that day, with two others from Corofin, he went to the sports in Athenry. Arriving in time to see the High Jump event won with a jump of 5 feet 2 inches, John Daly and some other young men present decided to see if they could beat the winning effort. Up he stepped and sprang over the bar, still at the height of the winning effort, but in coming back to mother earth the tail of his coat caught the bar and brought it down”. The young Corofin man was so enthused that he went home, dug a pit in one of the family fields and began practising the long jump and the hop, step and jump. His first competitive outing was at Mount Bellew sports in September 1900, where he won the high and broad jumps, also competing in the 440 yard sprint in which he got third place.

In particular, this study identifies Ceoltóirí Cualann as a demonstration of Ó Riada’s methodological approach to Irish traditional music. The history of ensemble performance within traditional music in Ireland is encapsulated by the various groups that emerge over the course of the twentieth century, particularly the varied models that develop from the 1960s onward.
