Isle of hope Isle of tears

[mrharryosullivan]

I know of many people who had to leave this beautiful country in search of a life ,

[kevos65]

we know nothing....most of our ancestors never made it..the most of the rest disapeared in squallor...the rest are of who helped shape america....but i hope they remember where they came from and who didnt make it...and there was a alot....the majority by fact...god bless them all....

In the past 5 months while listening to music by the Clancys and Makem, I've discovered The High Kings, Josh Groban, and now Tommy Fleming. I'm a Yank, but I love Irish music.

[SuperPaulrose]

it is a great song im only 28 years old and spent a few years in london and got let go,its 2010 for fck sake ,you wouldnt believe the amount of homeless irish i saw on the streets of london its sad and nothing i can do, but this government better wake up fast

[ballyb08]

i really now only appreciate what our ancestors went through. no education can instill the emotion of knowning what they went through, but music and song bring that alive. Now i see what the Irish abroad see. We living in Ireland need to get more in touch with our ancestory.what a beautiful song

[soccergladiator5]

I think I am only like a sixteenth Irish but I'm going to embrace it, and be proud of it. And it's all because I have heard Celtic Woman.

[jackmcc91]

how did you manage to learn gaeilge in america? fair play to ye for keepin it going

[Chrnoskitty]

It's not that hard to get access to the materials to learn Gaelic in America...

Sadly though, teacher and pronounciation guides are sorely lacking.
