YouTube Collection from Minnie's Pub

There are over 75 videos here - uploaded by "Pa Raggs" from Minnie's Golden days:

"These are a selection of Video Hi8 and Video 8 tapes that Minnie gave me many years ago (in or around the 90's). I recently found them and I decided to upload them here with the help of Aoife, before they are lost. I enjoyed many a night (and day!) in Minnie's Pub in the company of Minnie and Dermot Sullivan. It was like home for me, and many like me. There was always 'craic agus ceol' in Minnie's! 
I hope you enjoy watching them and hopefully they bring back many memories. If you recognize anyone in the videos please feel free to pass them on."
