[AdrianLOkeeffe]

hi john - just watched this again -SOBER!!- and have to say - u figured out this song very similar to how i did - as in the "C droping down fret and then back to the open D" - a beautiful roll - here ill post my version - GREAT STUFF MAN

[JohnMRavenscroft]

@AdrianLOkeeffe

Thanks again, Adrian. Loved your version. Noisy crowd you have there!

[AdrianLOkeeffe]

hi john - i tell ya most of the pubs are the same in ireland now - fu$%ed - so to speak - bad for buisness but good for playing gental music - whats the story with the pubs in the UK - are they doing ok?- our crap government has destroyed the pub scene here with smoking bans, 50 milegrams drink driving limit and the cost of a pint - it dont look good - thinking of going to the usa - 1 way - be good

[AdrianLOkeeffe]

great playing man - great

[JohnMRavenscroft]

@AdrianLOkeeffe Thanks, Adrian.

[ansiaaa666]

this is one of those songs that are worth being played late at night after some good beers

you played it with so much melancholy... I loved it. thank you for sharing it

[JohnMRavenscroft]

@ansiaaa666 Thank you Ansiaaa.

[darksideofthewall73]

Beautifully composed and performed. I'm not into nationalism but I help feeling a tingle of Irish pride shoot through me when I hear this song! Thanks for sharing!

[JohnMRavenscroft]

@darksideofthewall73 Glad you enjoyed, Darkside. Cheers.

[Dorvlet]

Ye very nice John i'm sat here drinking san miguel, just finished playing myself and now listening to you. Love it the whole vibe you've got going and i'm on the tetleys from now on.

Steve

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Cheers, Dorvlet.

Pass me a San Miguel, and I'll pass you a Tetleys...

[johnmcgourty57]

One of my favourite songs, played with perfectly sustained balance, timing and speed. The tune, guitar and voice blend perfectly. I am deeply moved by your performing of this music. You are a genius.

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Glad you enjoyed it, John.

Not sure about the genius bit - but if that's what being pleasantly drunk does for my playing, I'll make sure I spend more time in a state of inebriation.

[zedmanatutube]

my favourite folk song so well played. i would give anything to be able to play like you.

very moving indeed

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Cheers, Zedman. And many thanks for the subscription. As for the playing - it's the beer what does it!

[PeonSanders911]

Not bad!!

Not bad at all!!!

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Thanks for commenting, Peon.

[oplbgtfdesv654bvtgrf]

Something ya not tellin us about that Tetleys, you got something magic in there ! lol Great job matey !

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Cheers, Dave.

Yup, a drop of beer oils the fingers, I reckon!

Thanks for listening, and for the subscription.

[cowpooca]

very very nice

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Thanks, Sharon.

Glad you enjoyed it.

[quadcoreraver]

well that was really moving you made it very personal lovely tone of voice and guitar very good thanks

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Thanks for listening, Quad...

[SansCogito]

You have been misinformed. This is an IRISH song. After all of the horrific things the English have done to Ireland, don't credit them with our sweet labour.

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Quite right, SansCogito.

Slip of the tongue on my part.

[SansCogito]

Thank you for acknowledging that. It's a rather touchy subject, as I'm sure you know. Cheers, and well played.

[smurfmanbob]

Stunning.

That is a beautiful rendition of one of my favorite folk songs ever!

Puts Sinnead O'Connor to shame!

[JohnMRavenscroft]

That's quite a compliment, Smurfmanbob!

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.

[smurfmanbob]

Its true!

And if music is that good, I would take hours!

[terrybriody]

subtley quiet version - very nice too

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Thanks, Terry.

[joeatherlay]

respect man very nice

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Cheers, Joe. Thanks for listening.

[microdac]

Thanks for 7 minutes (+) of great music. I don't know your politics but I know your music and it is beautiful. I wish I could steal your music and use it (with credit) in some of my videos. Well done!

[JohnMRavenscroft]

I'd be happy for you to use my music in your videos, Microdac.

Thanks for the kind comments.

[udiamar]

amazing! so deep ..well done.

can u try to play others songs?

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Thanks for the comment, Udiamar.

I'll add a few more in the near future.

[paddylennon]

sorry but your wrong its an old IRISH folk song!

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Fair cop, Paddy.

I blame the beer!

[shnookiebums]

Its an Irish folk song gramps

[lucabez]

Very nice playing: I find specially the first part really lovely!... *****

Cheers,

luca

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Thanks for the kind comments, Luca.

[meymic18]

nice and powerful playing - very emotional!

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Thanks, Meymic!

[JohnMRavenscroft]

Ha! Thanks again.

I tune down and capo because for some reason the guitar resonates better when I do that - and it improves the action, too.

[StevenNewit]

Hypnotic droning. Very relaxing. Tuned down a semitone and a capo on 1st fret means the one kind of cancels the effect of the other. That old guitar's lasting well.
