  • My Grandfather was a Blacksmith and so am I ... for such an ancient craft it is surprising there are not more songs in the English folk song book - unlike the sailors shanty's. Thanks for this.

  • honored to witness greatness like this!!!

  • Was joy to see Andy play in New Jersey this Fall..

    Thanks for this!!

  • thx for upload

    

  • Wow! .. is about the best I can manage. Genius.

  • pure gold!

  • An absolute genius

  • seen him last night in whelans. what a class gig

  • RIP Andy :(

  • @wiccaman27 What are you talking about?

  • Comment removed

  • @ConorSod

    It seems to me that he was about to direct us to a site where we can RIP OFF Andy's music without paying for it,but he was perhaps struck by a bolt of lightning before he could finish.

    If that is indeed the case,then R.I.P Wiccaman27!.

  • @wiccaman27 Eejit.

  • @wiccaman27 andy isn't dead

  • Even when he is on his own he can sound like an orchestra!

  • andy like a good wine gets even better with age. thanks.............

  • Anyone can play fast on a mando. Nobody can make one sound this good...

  • love the driving instrumental interlude at 3.20, soo powerful

  • Oh, the Awesome!

  • Absolutely brilliant recording Simmo! The performance is pretty good too ;-)

  • Absolutely brilliant. As expected from Andy.

  • Ir. N. Andyvie does it !!!

    ALL BY HIMSELF!!!

    JUST GREAT!!!

  • This is so Good!!!!!

  • Over the last 25 some years, I have heard Andy Irvine sing this song many times, live and on various recordings. None is done better than this. The accompaniment on his Sobell only really does it.

    A pure joy - thanks.

  • i agree...his voice is better here than on the planxty dvd version

  • WOW !

    He's doing it again :-)

    My favourite song of his time with Planxty!

  • This deserves 6 or 7 stars

  • One of the oldest songs in Andy´s repertoire and still a joy to hear it. I love "The Blacksmith"...
