She Moved Through the Fair

[AManInTheArena]

Just amazing..!

[Findel5]

oh yeah ....wow here too :-)

[andrealynch2]

This has to be the MOST BEAUTIFUL version of this song I've ever heard...absolutely flawless!!!

[breffnipark]

wow ! brilliant version !

[mrssil15]

Love this song :)

[6073114]

Love the way the crowd noise dwindles to nothing until the only sound is the voice of the singer.

[Marty1fatbstard]

2.07 "I wanna copy of THAT" Arrrp and i'd buy her a drink should she come my way.

[MrAJM001]

by far the best version i've heard of this song, must look her up on google and see if she has recorded anything.

[Enderwiggan1]

Haunting

[txacman2003]

Beautiful. The Black Watch (The Royal Highland Regiment) has a recording of this song. I'm a drummer in a bagpipe band. But before I die, I WILL learn to play this song on the pipes!

[HydiestFaith]

Goosebumps

[knocklyonnelly]

she is ruth cahill and she sang at a family wedding

[baillie67]

@knocklyonnelly pure quality.

[AyleeRose]

She's absolutely amazing! Love it! Thanks so much for sharing :)

[brentuna]

BoreioSelas, thanks for the update, I updated the video with Ruths name,

[VSMuadDib1973]

oh for a woman that can sing as pure as that . And i love how the whole pub settles in, Great



[SexyWildcat80]

beautiful voice and hard enuff song to sing.

[Ariessfij]

Just shows how much talent many "unknowns" in the world have! Sounds sweeter than Celtic Woman even!

[queenievenus]

A beautiful rendition. Still not as beautifully sung as my dear old Mother use to sing it.Sadly the Irish accent is dramatically changing , no doubt from the influence of television from the USA and England and so clearly heard from this colleen singing this lovely song.

[MrRnB100]

This is what folk music should be - spontaneous and phenomenal. It is rarely attained but how truely beautiful it is on this occasion.

[loudanmolliefinn]

Was it Johnny Fox's pub?

[brentuna]

@loudanmolliefinn Abby Tavern in Howth

[farmrgalga]

@loudanmolliefinn Johnny Fox's is in the Carlow mountains... south of Dublin...

[1irishlass1]

Stunning. Just excellent. Makes my heart smile :)

[DonegalRaymie201]

Very good & natural too! A real gorgeous Coleen singing perfectly! Love her!

'I WANNA COPY O' THAT!'

[nextlifearotti]

Beautiful!

[nextlifearotti]

[summerwine2004]

WooooooooooW!!! So beautiful. Never heard somethin like this.

[patsycecilia]

My dad was Irish and this song was sung in Gaelic at his requiem mass by the priest, who had a beautiful voice.

So.......it always makes me cry.

This is the best and purest version I've ever heard.

[malandmarina]

Saw this on youtube and liked it so much that we had this song at our own wedding. Awesome.

[gerryeyemoon]

gerryeyemoon

[OutlawMinniePearl]

Beautiful!!! What a voice!!! Such a lovely song, too!

[drybonesband]

Beautiful! Here's an additional verse, as per M. Barry's old version: The people were saying no two ever were wed but one had a sorrow that never was said I watched as she passed with her goods and her gear and that was the last time that I saw my dear db

[Excalibur322]

If you can sing a song like this one without any background music support.....one can really sing...! Beautiful!

[rapskal]

[tialeetull]

oooooooooooooooooooooh - she is so relaxed singing this -

[supershep55]

amazing....

[vanu49]

I am told that when you get a Dublinpub to silence, youre great. Well obviously this girl is great!!!!

Tks for the post.

Vanu.

[dannyeverton5]

its always impressive when a single voice with the backing of no instruments can silence even the rowdiest of crowds... its a real testimony to the quality of this girls voice! terrific!

[ShawDAMAN]

I like how at 0:18 the guy says "SHH!" :P

Very beautiful rendition

[tortugabob]

Absolutely amazing! She sings like an angel. This is what youtube is all about. Getting to experience stunning talent that hasn't been co-opted by the "music" business. Best wishes to this gifted young lady.

[ruthiemelody]

The name of the girl in this video is Ruth Cahill, NOT Ruth Melody. I am Ruth Melody (a friend of Ruth Cahill's) and I also sing in the Abbey Tavern in Howth. I doubt there is a cd called 'Ruth Melody Simply Me'!!!! I think someone is taking credit where it isn't due!

[EnsignFowler]

Gorgeous singing! So, I can't get your CD online but I can buy it if I were in Dublin (or Cork?), is that correct?

[miamon2222222]

no try hmv, ,the music store ,and all in good music shops in dublin cty unfortuantely the cd cannott be bought online as my manager wont make a profit from it

[terrybriody]

Pure - well done Ruth

[daliism]

Just fantastic !

I have over 20 versions of this song and this one left me with goose bumps.

[nickkaren27]

Great performance- looked for the "Ruth Melody Simply Me" CD but can't find anywhere. Does anybody (maybe Ruth!) know where I can find it ?

Thanks

[leftystrat62]

I listen to stuff from Hendrix,SRV,The Stones,Led Zeppelin,BB King,and such;but when I heard this it stopped me cold in my tracks. Absolutely beautiful.

[Marty1fatbstard]

WOW !! Now if I was a bird, 14 stone lighter 30 years younger and Irish, I would want to sing and look just like you Ruth. Fantastic.

[BaldGrace]

Awesome! I've been trying for ages to find a rendition of this song sung by a young female voice without all kinds of showbiz distracting from her voice...thank you, Miss Melody! And thanks to brentuna for posting.

[skepticepilleptic]

Ever heard of a quiet Irish Pub before? She cast a spell on the room for sure!

[Brotoi]

Wow... An Irish Pub completely entranced by a young woman singing a traditional folk song!

That says volumes about her talent.

[Falloutmoon]

I am in love...

It must have been even greater being there. I love the silence that overtakes the audience...

[sandsb02]
