[jbuchanan50]

Most versions I've seen are slower, but this one clips along quite nicely!

Greeting Fellow Jersians

[Katsem]

excellent!!!

[Wallace73ts]

i love this song :)

[BardofCornwall]

A nice version, though the bodhran sounds overly tight. Thanks for posting.

[suzukibandit650]

I'd pay any price for having the possibilty of watching something like this......but I live in Italy!! sigh!!!!

[jdt1976]

ah, another ren fair bodhran player. always gives me a giggle. i like this song, but it could have done without the screeching harpie.

[needasecondchance]

When that auld doll started crowing she scared the f--king wits outta me:)

apart from that it's a good version, I'm going to bed now clutching my teddybear:)

[endora60]

Yeah, she has delusions of being Maddy Prior, it sounds like--and she sure as shit isn't.

[Kirin122]

Great !!

[lollinonnonea]

Woah, how many parrots did they kill to make that hat decorations = D

Great version. Great characters = )

[sobr21azzaro]

Yeah.. heared almost all other versions too. But this one has something special to it! Good job! Erin go bragh!

[tolkiengenius]

After listening to many many many different versions of this tune, I must say, this is my favourite!!! Huzzah!!! And the piratical-ness just makes it all the more spiffing! =D

[veniceadriana]

*applause*

[chaucer012000]

Very authentic, even quintessential!

[sirius711]

Haha! Great voice, and still sounds like a pirate!!! BRILLIANT!

[LCMS343]

He's cute. He has a nice voice too.

[nessy191292]

Great!

[Graham074]

I'v Been To Dublin Its Exellent I Stayed In A Hotel Called The Harden Hotel Irish Music IS The Best In The World Scottish Music Is Alrite Tho

You Done A Great Job!

[littlegrossie]

bodhrans aweful dry

[sirius711]

It's not so bad... bit tight perhaps but the tones still quite good on the whole.

[surreal12]

Great!

It is a sad lament the we (the British) have to get good music via the States (no offence). The Irish have the best music in the world but us that live a couple of hundred miles away have to trawl the net to find it!

Keep up the good work guys, & thank you.

[perfectNblonde]

xXxXxXxXx

[gran9441]

I like this song but... not done like this.

[LaneAtomic]

Nice job on the performance, but would've been better with that squeezebox along with the guitar. ;)

There are a million better renditions of this song available and many ofthem are here on Youtube. Marks out of 10? - a generous 1.

[Yulirili]

Excellent, wonderful music...I love this song

[Kinravip]

Singing pirates make ME happy.

[elventelerinpirate]

@Kinravip Singing pirates should make anyone happy :) They certainly please me :D

I know several versions of this song, but the Blades sing a verse that's new to me. Could you post the lyrics they use? Thanks much! :D

[filmjedi]

@elventelerinpirate She had glass-green eyes and a look so shy and a smile like the rose in June, and she sang so sweet, what a lov-a-ly treat as she lilted an Irish tune! At the landlord's dance I was in a trance as she whirled with the boys of the town, and it broke my heart just to be apart from the Star of the County Down...

[elventelerinpirate]

@filmjedi Thanks! :D

[filmjedi]

The pirate flags on the tent in the back make me happy. : D
