MrPozzoz, if you say that again, I will hunt you down and fucking murder you. The Pogues are the best band ever and I like this, otherwise I wouldn't be listening to it, but please, respect the Pogues. They rule.

[MrPozzoz]

This is real Irish music .... NOT CRAP LIKE THE POGUES ...

Joe Einiu was from Ard East near Carna in the Connemara Gaeltacht, Galway. Carna was famous as perhaps the foremost location in Europe for folklore and a centre of sean nos singing. Sad to say the old ways have withered there as times have improved. Seamus Ennis described the area as a treasure trove for a folklorist.

This is a great clip. I saw Seosamh O HEanai in Newport Rhode Island in 1966 and heard him sing this song. Hope you can find a clip of Roisin Dubh--one of his greatest songs.
