Anne Byrne Fiona and Shane

[1tommymulligan]

Met Jessie Owens last night at our gig in The Sunnybank Hotel Glasnevin Dublin. He was back in Ireland on hollidays . Now lives in LA. He got up and sang a few songs during the break and can still play and sing well, he also looks great for a guy in his sixties.

Anne and clairedelune49, My father played I Chose The Green endlessly when we were growing up. We knew all the songs. He still has his well worn and well loved copy. I recently found a copy for sale. Thanks for posting this and thanks for the beautiful music!

To Anne Byrne:

If you by chance read this, I just wanted to let you know that I have been a big fan of your music for many years. I am in California & first came to know of your music when I found one of your LPs in a record shop here in the 80's. I just couldn't stop listening to your beautiful voice! When I went on holiday to London & Ireland I sought out more of your LP's. I have about five albums & one at Abbey Tavern. I only wish your LPs were on CDs . Most of all I hope you are well.

I have just had the surprise of my life to hear the wonderful voice of Anne Byrne again. I followed her career with Jessie Owens and fiddle playing of Seamus gallagher in the 1960s. I sang all her songs and the songs of Joan Baez and Mary Black. I am sorry to hear that Anne is not well, I had wondered what became of her. All those wonderful days of Ballad Sessions at Howth in Dublin. Thanks for the memories Cora marshall

I saw Anne on my first night in Ireland at the Abbey Tavern....with my cousin Nan, a nurse at the old Jervis St Hospital

[Irish61248]

This album was one of my first I ever bought....I almost wore it out!

[patrickpjr]

this is a message from anne byrne. i ma alive and well and appreciate your wonderful comments. Aunry Dolores is not eighty - she is in her early seventies. I am a youthful sixty six and suffering from cronic depression thus have had to give up recording and prefoming.

[clairedelune49]

Welcome to YouTube Anne Byrne! We all find YouTube a great cure for depression. What a wonderful surprise to hear from you. Maybe some of your fellow artists you see here ( Judy Collins at 70, Joan Baez at 68) can inspire you to give us a new video or two?

[wrongwayup]

@patrickpjr If that message was really from Anne Byrne: I could only imagine music to be therapeutical?

[patrickpjr]

Anne is alive and - not so well - her depression is awesome!

[clairedelune49]

Her depression saddens us all. "The Blues ain't nothing but the truth."--BB King.

[euroserf]

@patrickpjr It saddens Me to hear Anne is not well as her Voice lifts me and probably so many others from our black gloom ! I don't pray but tell her she's in my thoughts !

[crc778Hypnodoc]

@patrickpjr Taking up the guitar and singing got rid of my depression Anne. Tis a rotten Ilness, I can only wish you well. I'm just learning The Croppy Boy, of which your version is the best, I'll sing it in your honour tonight, and when I sing in Kilkenny on June 20th at Cleeres. I hope we'll hear you sing again

[MrOhainnin]

@patrickpjr great to hear that you are well sorry to hear about you problems with the darkness. Thanks for so many hours of musical bliss from a Marlborough Road neighbour of the 70ties now living in germany

[milkmoonmama]

Thanks for posting this! So lovely to hear. And even lovelier to read all these warm words too.

I agree. Such a shame her recordings are not available on cd. As far as I know a certain Irish record company owns the rights to all her recordings and they don't seem to be releasing them, for whatever reason.

[flooberbloob]

Thanks Lightning494, I jumped the gun there. All the best to Tulifuli..

[taceturnman]

Wonderful cleanly voice.

He cast a spell upon me .

Someway he should obtain his songs .

[graidh]

What a wonderful voice! When I was younger, I was totally fascinated by her "Croppy Boy". It's so sad that she stopped performing after her marriage.

Is there a CD with her songs? I coudn't find one.

[folkmusicgirl]

I have been a hugh fan of Anne Byrne for many years. I have about 6 or 7 LPs some where she sings with Jesse Owens. No CDs as far as I know and I have been researching this for some time. I wish I could afford a player that converts LPs to CDs but don't own one.

She also sang with a group of folk artists in Ireland where they played at, The Abbey Tavern, I believe.

[folkmusicgirl]

ClairedeLune,

Thanks for posting this beautiful, beautiful song. Do you have any more Anne Byrne songs you can upload here?

I know there are only two other Anne Byrne songs on Youtube.

Thank you.

[flooberbloob]

Well lightning94 - dunno if you're being sarcastic or not but consider that Anne is 64 now and her Aunt Dolores is in her 80's - don't think that will happen....

[McGranuaile]

JAPERS FLOOBERBLOOB, Auntie Dolores would be horrified , she only just turned 70!

[flooberbloob]

Anne's Aunt Dolores wrote this song and sang it just as beautifully...

[lightning494]

Well why doesn't Aunt Delores sing into her computer mike and upload it for us to hear? I hope she is still with us.

[flooberbloob]

well were you being sarcastic about my relatives?

[lightning494]

No I wasn't being sarcastic, I sincerely mean that. I'm glad that Aunt Dolores is still with us and where there's life there's song. I am the videographer for my 85 year old friend, the YouTube channel "tulifuli." He's still singing,'tho more for the message than the aesthetics. My best to Anne and Aunt Delores.

[flattop55]

I purchased this album in New Jersey in the 1970's, and played it over and over. I still have it, and was very pleased to find Anne on You Tube. I, too, am a Byrne, and I am so proud to be a clansman of Anne's. Greetings to Anne and her kin from San Francisco, California!

[Irish61248]

I had almost forgotten about Ann Byrne, as I have not seen anything about her in years. I have the album shown above...I used to work in a record store outside Boston years ago. Does anyone know if Ann is still recording/performing?

[tulifuli]

No, she hasn't been performing for a long time but is alive and well and a grandmother, I heard from her family.

[nighthawk006]

Excellent! *****

I'll be keeping an eye out for any Anne Byrne LPs from now on. Thanks for posting

ClairedeLune

Thank you very much for participating in our St Patrick's Day Film Festival.

What a wonderful clear voice Anne Byrne has.

You have made a strangely compelling short film here, centered on a song and a cover of an LP.

We wish you all the best.

[wonderfulmabel]

could be Baez -- beautiful voice
