I've wondered so many times if this boy is still living and does he know how much he has touched people's hearts with this music. I've loved this since the first time heard it. Bravo, Chris!
Great rendition - probably the best I've heard yet. I love how you can hear the audience chatting during the first verse and then by the final verse everyone is joining in with the lad!
This is a clip from a dvd called Come West Along the Road. It's a collection of traditional Irish music from RTE, the Irish television station from 1961 to the early '80s. It's a wonderful collection. The boy's name is not known. I got chills down my spine the first time I heard this. It's very powerful.
This young boy singing is actually called Sean Healy. He comes from Moycarkey Borris in Tipperary and went on to win All Ireland's for singing.
