Slainte! - Stewball (The Plains of Kildare)

[fiendishfreddie]

Good job lads... Bardzo dobrze!!

[Timothydlol]

fair play!

[Silversnapdragon]

I'm mistaken, it's not the guitar I was hearing, it was that other instrument... it's name escapes me though.

[fiendishfreddie]

Bouzouki

[Silversnapdragon]

This is wonderful. I love the sound of an Irishman singing!! Love the accent and the guitar. Irish folk songs are among my favorites!!

[bollix13]

Irish accent?! Check out the members of the band in "More info" - This is a Polish group singing an Irish song!! Though in fairness, they do a better job of singing Irish folk and pronouncing Irish placenames than I would at singing Polish folk or pronouncing Polish placenames!! And that's a bazouki that you're hearing

There's also an American version, which I've just put up on YouTube. It uses the African-American call and response technique.

where s andy irvine

[dziemmak]

Andry Irvine is the author of lyrics and music. We just perform his song in our arrangement.

[mjazz3981]

no actually this wasn't written by Andy Irvine unless he was around a few centuries ago. The Martin Carthy version mentioned above is an English variant of the same..I suppose you could call...traditional song.

[kevo32a]

i always thought it was skewbald like the martin carthy song.

[dziemmak]

You are right, there are a couple versions of this song and this is an "Irish-like" one.
