Bí le Mary agus Joe McGuiggan fá choinne maidin bhríomhar de cheol agus damhsa, ag ceiliúradh agus ag comhroinnt damhsaí muirneacha Chluaintí, Cluain Maine. Tá cuimhní ceanúla ag Annie McGonigle, 94 bliana d'aois, ar lúcháir an damhsa, céimeanna bríomhair dhamhsa áitiúil seit na lansaithe, agus na foinn cheoil shíoraí bhuana a thugadh ceoltóirí áitiúla chun beatha.
Tá traidisiún saibhir damhsa céime le maíomh as ag Cluainteach, agus tá céimeanna cornphíopa ar an tsean-nós ba ghnáth lena deartháir Charlie a dhamhsa tugtha ar aghaidh ag Annie. In ómós do chion iontach Annie maidir le hoidhreacht an damhsa, tá cornphíopa speisialta cumtha ag Paul Harrigan a sheinnfear le linn an imeachta.
Ná caill an deis ar leith seo thú féin a thumadh isteach i dtraidisiúin chultúrtha bhríomhara an cheantair, na damhsaí a fhoghlaim agus sult a bhaint as na scéalta agus ceol atá á gcoinneáil go caoin leis na glúnta.
