The singer is Lucy MacNeil singing with her brothers Stewart, Kyle & Sheumas They form the group The Barra MacNeils. Barra is a Scottish island, the ancestral home of clan MacNeil. I've watched them perform several times in my home town of Antigonish, Nova Scotia & the show is always perfect.
This is wonderful. Usually, the more I love a song, the more I hate cover versions of it, but this is nicely done. The understated quality of this version makes the song seem even more tragic ultimately.
The song sounds the same,but the video is GREAT! If whomever is lipping this is not in showbusiness,they should be! Great job barramacneils!!! Thank you who ever you are!! Ross
I don't particularly care for her voice singing this song. HOWEVER, she has a lovely voice and it is great to hear someone give Marianne a bit of attention, aside from comic geniuses French and Saunders. Well done.
Thank you for putting this on! This is my favorite Version, its awesome

@Mad4Mirren At the age of 37, have you ever ridden through Paris in a sports car, with the warm wind in your hair? (Well, I hope you have.)
