The Voyage - Johnny Duhan

[trina1970ish]

My Dad passed away 3 years ago today. This song was played at his funeral (he was a prawn trawlerman & lived his life for the ocean and his family).

[Rasablade]

Great song, well done really enjoyed, well constructed.

[thomascow1]

I love this well played and sang beautiful graphics thumbs up

[MrBlindmans]

I spoke the chorus at my brothers wedding hoping they would,some day,have their own crew. They have now. What a lovely song.

Johnny our roots are in Mt. Pleasant Ave. I knew your mother and father,Paddy O Brien and Nancy ,all gone now and sadly missed. I went to school at the same time as Eric and Michael.I wish we could see times like that again. Be well.

I've been a Johnny Duhan fan since I heard him sing "there's a curtain to the left of me a joker to the right and the centre's no where to be found" - great man.

[dublinbred]

[johnnyDuhan]

Glad you like it and sing it. Happy New year.

@Johnny Duhan

Thank you so much for this song. I learned it from David Yeates in Dublin a few days ago. It causes drifting tears into my eyes whenever I sing it for me wife and kids.

[wendelinn]

Eamon

[silverstartrucker]

I do like the voice very much...Mix of Tom Waits and early Bob Dylan...

[TheClassicDame]

I must say I found this song via the group "Celtic Thunder" and thought the song was amazing. The passion and message is amazing and wanted to find the original. I had thought the Celtic Thunder version on was lovely, but yours is so haunting. It really is a wonderful. I am sure you are told that countless times.As a member of the twenty-something,I hope people will continue to find your music inspirational .Be well and take care, much love.

[johnnyDuhan]

[alanbhoy]

@johnnyDuhan "like" is too small a word, I think its one of the best heart felt love songs ever, your words mean so much, thank you very much.

[johnnyDuhan]

[guitardolly]

GOOD JOB I LIKE  MITZIE

[definite01]

I just came across this by accident. This is a brilliant performance - loved it. All the other versions (including my own) all sound the same and no where near as good as this..

[woodenacoustic]

A lovely song with brilliant lyrics. It is the song which made me go buy a guitar.

[clarebannerman]

Can't get away from this song. The definitive version. Lovely ♪♫ ***** ♥

[johnnyDuhan]

Thank you, again, clarebannerman. My good friend Max Power put it up.

[JohnJPower]

Good to hear that Anthony. Listen to Johnny's guitar play on his other songs posted. Absolutely fabulous. Keep playing !

[BackEMF]

Excellent. Thanks a lot. When was this recorded shane?

[JohnJPower]

April 2007 at Draiocht Arts Centre, Dublin.

Glad you like the song.

[paidini2007]

Wow, great song, Thank you.

[plecman]

Music at it`s most pure..truly beautiful.

[erico1977]

Nothing like hearing the writer of a famous song performing it himself. Superb this is the version for me, the man has a fine voice

[birdman404]

good cover of a great song christy would be proud if he ever heard it!!

[JohnJPower]

no cover birdman404. this is the guy who wrote the song, singing it live. listen to the end of this video where Johnny pays tribute to Christy for popularising the song. if you don't believe me, ask Christy!

[birdman404]

sorry doident meen to offend just heard that bobby sands wrote this in long kesh as a poem and christy moore turned it into a song johnny sings it good too will look at the christy moore album and see if johnny is down as the writer thanks for the correct info,

[thetwangman]

the song "back home in derry" is based on a poem by bobby sands called "the voyage". johnny duhan's "the voyage" is a completely different song which christy moore also sings.

[birdman404]

aah thanks for that iwas misled somewhere along the way!!

[JohnJPower]

Johnny Duhan next up at the Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre, Naul, Co Dublin on Saturday 8th December. Be there!

[JohnJPower]

Johnny Duhan plays Solstice Arts Centre, Navan on the 15th Sept next. Be there to hear him sing this wonderful song and many more!

[rowanirish]

Wow wow wow. I only know the Christy Moore version. This is amazing.

[JohnJPower]

Thanks shanepower for posting this version of the Voyage. Where was it recorded? This is great!

[shanepower]

Thanks for your comment. There is more here on Youtube from the same gig.

[fundymilk]

Thank you for posting! This is a gorgeous song and sounds amazing here!
