Irish Music 16mm Soundie Films
Soundies, produced between 1940 and 1946, can be considered the first music videos. These films were created to be viewed on coin-operated, 16mm projectors in bars, restaurants, and other public places. A wide variety of entertainers and genres were featured, ranging from jazz and big band music to country and (of course) popular Irish songs of the day.
