[14590933]

This band is one of the unsung wonders of the Folk rock world. I saw them for the first time at Shrewsbury in August 2011 and they did not fail to live up to all these posted videos. Three Cheers for the Oysterband!

[comboqueenthefirst]

Just seen them at Towersey, damn brilliant, wicked good atmosphere, superb musicians...xxx

[edsterific]

@comboqueenthefirst i was there too!!!

[14590933]

I can't wait to see this band in Shrewsbury on Aug 29th! Say hello to the old guy with thinning grey hair in the kilt if you see me!

[ABlissfulRainbow]

still one of my fave all time songs by any band :)

[saunders2159]

Mass appeal is no test of excellence. They have a discerning fan base.

[SuperDragonHero]

Excellent song!

[wpigout]

[varun4110]

[eagle416]

@varun4110 You don't. You go to the shop and pay for the CD because these guys don't deserve to be ripped off.

[SuperDragonHero]

@varun4110 piratebay or isohunt

[celticqueen0401]

absolutly brilliant !!!!!

[ectowle]

I am absolutely crazy about these guys and have been for years. Their stuff is hard to find, but when I come across anything I can get my hands on...I am ruthless! :)

[CaptainMadJackFlint]

Just saw them tonight in Alberta! They put on a hell of a show! These guys are great performers and talented musicians; anyone is lucky to see them play live!!!

[lgcrooks]

@CaptainMadJackFlint Absolutely. We saw them a couple of nights before you did, in Winnipeg, as they moved west. Our third time seeing them, and I will go back again! Our daughter who has toured with them as a roadie, I guess, she sold mech at their shows in England, got us on to them.

[lgcrooks]

@CaptainMadJackFlint And, the first time we saw them was at the Winnipeg Folk Festival about 10 years ago. The WFF is in a provincial park about 20 miles outside the city. No city around, no ambient lights, just the sky and the trees. They were the last act of the night, about 11:00 or so. It was dark with no moon, but the stars sparkled. The group came out and the first song they did - the first one we had ever heard live was "Bells of Rhymney". It was absolutely awesome in the darkness!!

[vauteixer]

Sehr geile Nummer !

[lgcrooks]

doing a Canadian tour in April!!

[SlightlySusan]

Great sound for a live pick up! Chopper and Alan are so into it!

[magphen]

They used to be known as Fidlers Dram when Cathy Le Surf sang with them. Rememer the song "Daytrip To Bangor"

[jepa33]

I dnt know what exactly is, kinda celtic, but I like it

[martaaldo]

it'a a pity I could find Oysterband only on youtube:(. they're really fantastic and deserve more popularity.

[JogaBonitofootball]

wow I typed in Oysterband looking for an SNL skit and found these guys!! wow how are they not so well known their music is amazing! =D

[Crowroads]

i was at this gig!!! we we're going to cause a riot, i don't think they planned a third encore.

[barney9D]

Very underated band.Just read of John Jones Welsh stock,went to fridge got a cider to toast the man.Seen them a few times,they are brill.

[chrisdebabe]

Best live band ever love and miss them , when you coming to France lads????

[irland1961]

Guiness/Germany

[obamamaniac42]

Why is this band not more well known?

[SlightlySusan]

@obamamaniac42  Who knows? I tried telling potential mates on dating sites that oysterband was my fav and they would come back with, "Don't you mean Blue Oyster Cult?" I then put them on ignore.

[DadofVBG]

@SlightlySusan You can imagine my problems over in the U.S. I would love it if they would tour here.

[SlightlySusan]

@DadofVBG Their last American tour was in 1994. I saw them at The Middle East in Cambridge, MA. They played in the basement. Everyone was dancing along with them. Chopper looked like he had just jumped off a Harley. It's been hard for groups to tour here since 9/11 and, of course, the cost is high. An option for Americans is to see them in Canada.

[diversicolour]

This is possibly one of the best live bands ever! Go and see them while you can.

[eagle416]

@diversicolour I tried, but the venue had an age restriction!

[mshellozombiekitty]

@diversicolour what do you mean... while you can? The boys are gonna play forever and ever! No two ways about it!!!!

[c81249]

that brings back memories i can remember this being the last song on the last night at stainsby folk festaval i was about 13-14 the whole crowd still singing at about 3am after u lot had probly packed up and gone home lol and the next morning there was a drunk guy lieing half on the little outside wooden stage still singing...truly beautifull

[sparebone]

I love the long strummed violinists in this and the cello aswell. Its proper irish sounding.

[AlexPotvinsWorld]

They're British, not Irish. They're from Canterbury, doesn't get much more English than that. Please, please, please, don't mistake England for Ireland again.

[Uthlander]

Please, folks, letßs settle for "celtic" which is the common origin, at least für Scotsman Ian Telfer and Welsh-stock John Jones. Have a beer...

[Deolagrue]

DON'T SPILL THE GUINESS MR!!

[arvensis68]

class! :)

[toadjust]

The good news is that we can do it all again in December. See you at The Forum.

[SteveStLaur]

Finally got the 25 anniversary concert vid from runningman. Concert of a lifetime! Hope the band sees fit, at some point, to post The Bishop of Chester on youtube. One of 18 songs perfect songs in the show, this cooks like nothing I've ever heard in jig/reel music. James O'Grady on pipes adds a fine touch. Breathtaking!

[headbangingonfolk]

wonderfull song

i love it

[SteveStLaur]

Briliant! Pulls the song well beyond the album version.

[dunebasher1971]

Heh. You can see me and the missus at 5'48" :)

[toadjust]

One of the musical highlights of my life. What a gig.

[irishlad6]

The best band, ever. Simply put.

[Greencat77]

Awesome song, awesome band - they are Gods!!!

[rockweaver]

One of the best bands EVER!!

[JimLovesLemons]

The trademark song.

Love it. :)
