[TheMissUllis]

This is amazing! I get goose bumps! :) Sure made my day! Keep up the good work, you're awesome!

[ormepipes]

Hiya,

Thanks for this. I've just been experimenting with this tune on a low D. 1st time I've had a low whistle out of the bag for years! - Love your version! don't know what it is, but you make the dar dum dar dee dum bits sound a lot less repetative than the way I'm doing it!! - anyway - thanks again for the inspiration, I'll work on mine some more !!

[Lahron]

Tullamore Dew PJ! :P

[StargazerFilms1]

Beautifully done, guys ♥ I've been so inspired listening to this. And currently learning Tabhair dom do lámh on my new Dixon low D :)

I will be well pleased if I can play this piece as well as you!

Go raibh maith agaibh

[o00DonnyEnglish00o]

I commented years ago, but is worth the praise again. I played a version inspired this, which was played at someone's wedding day when walking down the aisle :) Thanks guys.

[MemphisMcKraut]

OMG...I love this song anf have not heard it in 24 years until tonight. Thank you

[capekirano]

anyone know the guitar tab?

[sqmy87]

Absolutely stunning. Such beautiful playing on the low D and the guitar. Brought tears to my eyes and found you after listening to lots of Planxsty :). Have always loved playing this on the fiddle but the sensitivity of your playing and the ornamentation is something I shall leave to the experts! I shall watch and listen to this over and over again. Many thanks, Eimear Bradley.

[xoowax]

best version i've heard!

[AsYouWish810]

This is so freakin beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!(: For school I am supposed to sing an Irish song called, Oh Danny Boy...and when I looked the lyrics up on google...I found a whole bunch of other Irish songs and YOU GUYS were obviously one of them, haha(:

[donmac74]

I got married in 2005 and my wife walked down the aisle to a similar slow arrangement of this tune. It brings back special memories listening to this and for what it's worth, this is the best version of this tune on Youtube – great stuff lads!

[WolterBertelsen]

I was just searching for this song, because my husband and I used to listen to it, when we were very young. You interpret it so wonderfullly, thand you very much for uploading it, and I hope you will continue to find great experiences in all the wonderfull things, playing music can bring to your lives.

Great wishes from Denmark - we will follow your uploads closely!

[Lobo36543]

Great stuff, guys. I wish I was there with ya.

[gamerfulwiips3]

the song is so slow but yet ur mans leg is at de speed of lightening :)

[leavesofgrey]

Wow, this is breathtaking. I first heard the symphonic, orchestrated version of this song and it has helped me sleep ever since. I've been a fan of Celtic music for quite some time now, and I my say that this is an incredible rendition of a beautiful song; keep up the music :)

[6thfifer]

What kind of whistle are you using? I would love to get one like it.

[PaulsIslandlife]

amazing guys, from an irish man i can honestly say that you perfected it!1

[mmartin306]

Lovely arrangement of one of my favorite tunes.

[zedsded]

Someone shops at IKEA!

[deepjuillet99]

Superlike! Brilliant boys, did you make any CD? You should if havent done yet, you guys are brilliant

[Tessamira]

Boys, you are fantastic! This song is perfect and you perform it just the way it should be. :)

[conixchu]

I can't imagine that beautiful piece of creation being portrayed with anything but that whistle. It vibrates into my soul.

[MrBethoncourt]

This is the best version of this song I've ever heard. Gongratulations!

[ScarletRosePetal]

I think half the views on this are from me. I've been listening to it over and over forever, haha. Amazing job. I absolutely love your version of this.

[116garra]

[NSResponder]

Nice arrangement.

-jcr

[1chai]

I salute you two guys

[saulnathaniel]

You guys are awesome! Does anyone know if the lyrics exist in Gaelic?

[Hibernicus1968]

Those lyrics are modern, by Brian Warfield of the Wolfe Tones. The original song had none, and frankly, didn't need any.

[saulnathaniel]

That's good to know.  I reciently wrote a song that features this melody as the bridge.

[stevieb6966]

well its wrote in irish (not gaielic) its an irish song thats translated to english so im gonna take a wild stab and say yes, any way you wont understand it in irish!!

[coygina]

Our "Irish" language...i.e when we speak IS called gaelic, (or gaelige as it was on my school books) I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say "it's wrote in Irish (not gaelic)". When we learnt this for choir, only "Tabhair dom do lamh" was in gaelic, the rest was in English.

[stevieb6966]

first off i wasnt talking to you,

second your exactly right ,the irish for "irish" is "gaelige" and the english is for "gaelige"it is "irish",so its not gaelic, so whats your point??? and the english lyrics are by the wolfe tones, so theres a choir in norway somewere doing wolfe tone covers???lol

[coygina]

You do realise that "Gaelic" pertains to the group of gael languages...actually scratch that, I was going to try get into an intellectual discussion and do it in a civil manner, but your pre-pubescent response to a fairly innocent comment tells me all I need to know about your temperament, talk about defensive much! You commented & as this is a public forum I have as much right to comment on what you say as everyone else-if you don't wish to be replied to, don't bother posting in the first place

[coygina]

Oh and I'm from Northern Ireland genius, not Norway if you bothered to look at the "Hometown" section of my profile, I moved to Norway last year, so yes, there is a choir doing Wolfe Tone songs it's called 'An Cor Gaelach' in St.Joseph's Convent Grammar School :) just so you know!

[coygina]

Wow, you really proved your intelligence, I mean "vagina" really!? What age are you?! Haha, I actually didn't realise some people were still so pathetic but I guess I've met one. You STILL don't get the point, but then again, I never really expected you to, *pat pat* it's ok pet, go back to sleep! :) ("of" does not = off, just so you know!)

[greencoveredbridge]

Just give me your hand, In a gesture of peace. Just give me your hand And all troubles will cease, For the strong and the weak, For the rich and the poor? All peoples and creeds, Let's meet their needs. With a passion, we can fashion, A new world of love! Chorus

[greencoveredbridge]

Just give me your hand,

Is tabhair dom do lámh.

Just give me your hand,

For the world it is ours.

All the sea and the land,

to destroy or command.

If you give me your hand.

[greencoveredbridge]

Chorus: By day and night,

through all struggle and strife,

And beside you, to guide you,

Forever, my love.

For love's not for one,

But for both of us to share.

For our country so fair, For our world and what's there.

[greencoveredbridge]

Just give me your hand,

And come along with me.

Will you give me your hand,

And the world it can see,

That we can be free,

In peace and harmony?

From the north to the south.

From the east to the west.

Every mountain, every valley,

every bush and birds nest!

[greencoveredbridge]

Just give me your hand,

is tabhair dom do lámh.

Just give me your hand

And I'll walk with you,

Through the streets of our land,

Through the mountains so grand.

If you give me your hand.

[ScarletRosePetal]

I love this so much. I listen to it constantly. Amazing job!

[TheQuarrymen8]

beautiful!

[joadiss]

Amazing! I loved this. Thanks.

[knazmodan]

can anyone post the recorded song ? the real one. This is good though! but i want it in better quality

[tsjiaotai]

Absolutely beautiful ! I always liked the planxty version but I love yours...it's played with so much feeling ! Very well done :)

[MoonsOBrien]

Nice one lads! Lovely version

Any chance you could post Guitar Tuning/ Chords/Tab, or a pointer on where I might find them?

[chocomych]

really good recording! I new this song in the CD "James Galway and the Chieftains" and I falled in love with it. James galways plays it really well, but you, guys, give it a soul. I wich you long life

[Ghettogangster47]

not bad guys !

[kassemmerl]

great!

[jirihozpodebrad23]

...you guys truly rock... this is incredible...!!!

[snuffdevlin]

luv it....

the one wa longer hair luks like my cuzin!!

[Sindini]

I think I am going to play this song to a girl before I ask her to marry me.

[armis999]

@Sindini lol

[Irelandhasmyheart]

@Sindini thats lovely...did you do it? and did she say yes? =D

[Sindini]

@Irelandhasmyheart I haven't done it quite yet, but I hope I can soon! I got to find a girl first =P. It's OK for now though-- Gives me more time to practice ;-).

[Irelandhasmyheart]

@Sindini Oh im so sorry i miss read one of your comments.... Good luck with it ;)

[TAMET77]

I could fall in love if someone dance this song with me

[adkangels19]

@Sindini Great Choice. I was thinking how cool would it be to hear this song for a proposal.

[scottishbumpkin]

Can I get this on an mp3? ITS SO AWESOME!

[astrolog7000]

Glorious, wonderful music! It makes me think, that if humankind can produce something so beautiful, there must be an angelic side to humans, although we have so much war, crime, and sin. The vibes in this music are so high that the music probably attracts angels to listen.

[mita14]

oh my God!!!

this is the best song i ever heard in my life!

i swear..i cried at it...!!!

masterpiece!!

God bless you all....to make more songs like this one! :)

[scottishdancer93]

Beautiful! When are you putting out a CD?

[Cartoon1427]

that was awesome  I LOVE this stuff like one said

[Vaskis4life]

wonderful... *tear*.

[benjidrake]

Nice job fellas!

[Xenshieko]

I heard this song today in class, being played on the harp. It's really a beautiful song....you guys played it really well.

[1argeth1]

Hey, gggreat ;)

[akio8585]

It is always healed by your performances.

[PSG159er]

Fantastic.

[catpatches]

Ahaaaaa Sweet, Thank you so much I love all your videos, Your a real insperation, We love you.... : 0 )

[sharecroppermike]

Nice job, lads! Mike in Newfoundland but in USA on sabbatical right now.

[JaredChacon]

You guys are great. I love this stuff. Don't ever stop playing

[mightytinwhistler]

I really think this is my favorite one that you two play. Thank you so much! You make it look easy

[MissTreacey]

That's gorgeous lads. Really beautiful playing from both of you.

[mollificent]

Just had to comment again...I really like that you play this in a nice, leisurely way. I was listening to a bunch of different versions on iTunes, and everyone seems to feel the need to rush it! This is so much sweeter (more like what one would walk down the aisle to!)

[gamerfulwiips3]

@mollificent but his leg is at the speed of lightening as if he is impatient to finish de song! :) LYK!?

[josparkes]

Lovely playing lads !

[GivesSaliva]

[invitationtv]

Amazing..Never Stop!

[joeygsmom]

wonderful talent gentlemen!

[54spiritedwill54]

i really love this tune

[incorrigibleirises]

best version I think I've ever heard of this piece

[DisneyGirlJeannie92]

I want to that song for my wedding march. that was so beautiful

[podge7]

¿que pasa amigos? yo soy irlandeses y tengo que decir que esta es el mejor que yo he oido en mi vida. respecto.

[JoanandAlan]

Beautiful, never stop, never give up.

[Doireboy1991]

pure legendary, my favourite tune. yus wud be lethal playing the green fields of canada...

[laarturo]

woooooow its very very beatiful congratulations

[hollyboo21]

Boys that was dead sweet! The phrasing needs a bit of work (on the low whistle, that is) but it reminded me of sweet waltzy wedding music, ahh. Noice!

[janster200]

Very well done!

[SaberShirou]

"by waving his fingers while playing"

[ephektz]

It takes more than that. Some argue that vibrato is produced in the throat. Honestly, it's not something you can really "learn." I do the "finger waving" mostly for show when I play my whistle. Although I've been playing the flute for over 14 years.

[Fivernz]

You can do finger vibrato by tapping the hole 2 below the note you are playing. (eg. if you are playing F# on a D whistle (top 4 holes covered) then you tap the 6th hole to produce finger vibrato.)

[essleyfam]

Well done! I love it.

Side note - you can hear Planxty play this one on the pipes at the end of the song "Raggle Taggle Gypsy". It's also incredible.

[lindareena]

Beautifully done!!!

[marlesimms]

Honestly I enjoyed your version more than the Chieftains version... keep recording - you guys are good together

[chickyg68]

Do you guys have this on cd. I'd love to use it at my wedding

[arkhatych]

It's great! The chieftains play it better. Never the less it's so good!

[o00DonnyEnglish00o]

i have to disagree, i just don't like this song played fast and wild. This tempo and soft style is the best version I've heard. But each to their own :)

[KNQuail]

I agree, I like this version, slow and sweet.

I got a whistle recently. I'm working on this song, but I don't think I'll ever sound half as good!

[bobgap]

Well done, lads.

[o00DonnyEnglish00o]

Would love for your brother to write the guitar tab for this PJ, it's great, would love to play the backing myself so i can play along on my whistle :)

[KNQuail]

Wow. Sooooo beautiful.

[Parabuthus1990]

i cant get enough from your music!

[pepeij]

Hey guys, record a cd, you have a customer already, :D

[boineye]

Very nicely done, gentlemen. I also have a Dixon Low D. Hope I can do half as well as you when I learn this tune. Can't wait to get started.

[gillybird86]

I was in a thrift store yesterday and I heard this song on the cd they were playing. I thought of you guys, since this video is the first I've heard this song ever. Then I came back here to watch it again, since the cd in the thrift store did not live up to this recording. :)

[frizzell32]

nice guys, ( frizzell32 )

[claireseach]

i really love this tune... i play it on my harp too.

[o00DonnyEnglish00o]

cool, make a video, would love to hear it on harp :)

[Sheloveshimsow]

That's so lovely! ♥

[SanFranCrisko]

This is a really nice version of this song lads, well done (from an Irishman).

[OiSiNdEvInE]

thats a lovely piece!! i play the tradiotanal irish flute and im from ireland!!

[Claudiarpa88]

good!

[JDLK2005]

You guys are really good, you should vist Ireland

[cameraman32]

really nice, keep on playing

[tribalwind]

Very nice mates'

cool to see other young guys(even more than myself) into irish music like this.

and especially a fellow flutist/whistler

[Brolito]

Fantastic! I'll admit, I like this piece played at a faster pace and on the uilleann pipes, but this track was beautifully done.

[luggiswold]

a fuckin good playin again! keep on playin!

[greatesthtis]

you guy's fuckin' rock!!

[helmuthoorn]

This is awesome.

I can only do a bit of accordeon and church organ, but wish I was really skilled on one instrument, like this guy is.

[Derventio74]

Thank you my friend.. The music of Ireland is so special.. It reflects a long (and often sad) history. I pray they have a glowing and happy future. Such a caring and cultured people deserve no less.

[helmuthoorn]

I guess the music of nearly every country does, but the Irish are, rightly so, proud of their musical tradition and, unless the Dutch, at least make an effort to preserve it and pass it on to further generations.

If you only knew what cultural treasures and beautiful old songs are carelessly wiped out from the collective memory in my country it would make you just as sad as I am. Only the Churches overhere make an effort to maintain some of it. Shame !

[Reepicheep77]

Well, people over here in the US don't like traditional music either; the general (but stupid) population would prefer Brittney Spears, and sitting around and watching TV all day, than to listen to this beautiful, wholesome music.

[helmuthoorn]

Yeah, that's how things go.

Wonder how many people in the US still know beautiful songs like ''Poor Wayfaring Stranger'' or "Hard Times Come Again no More."

I'm Dutch, but I do.

[Derventio74]

Like the Irish, the Dutch have a great culture. We do in England, but sadly it is often forgotten. When I hear some of this awful rap (sorry, I cannot call it music), I could cringe.. Enough said.

[Derventio74]

Thanks for a very positive comment, Reepicheep77. I couldn't agree more! No matter how much bad taste taste there is about (and there is ample) beautiful traditional music will live on long after the other stuff is forgotten. Peace to you, my friend.

Tony..

[homethoughts1]

Tony, thank you for sending this and your lovely comments regarding the old "Sod". When I get more time I will review the other videos you have sent me.

Hope all is well with you.

Pat in Carlow.

[Derventio74]

Thanks Pat.. Ireland is so special to me.. It is always ther when I need somewhere to escape and chill out. Its people are always warm and welcoming. Long may it live in peace and prosperity!

Look out for a new Cliff video, later tonight!

Tony :-)

[mrdee11091]

what talent thank you ,,,

[Derventio74]

Thank you too.. Ireland is full of hidden treasures. the internet can (and does) bring these into the open for all to enjoy!

[Derventio74]

Absolutely wonderful - God bless Ireland.. You are so caring and chilled out! Incredible performance.. Well done!!!

Tony :-)

[Daisy4dk]

5* for this gifted guy and thanks to you Tony for sharing. Beautiful, beautiful.

[Derventio74]

Daisy, I knew you would love it.. I was overwhelmed to find this..

[HegartyCounty]

very well done lads

[morekittiz]

clap.. clap...

[morekittiz]

i truley enjoyed watching and listening to you too Keep up the GREAT WORK !!

[Leodhais]

Heard this tune by "Chieftains", but very nice try, lads!!!

[stardogged]

Oops marked it as spam by mistake - was giving you the thumbs up :)

[confettigirl]

This might be the most appallingly gorgeous thing I've ever heard. Thanks for posting. I love it.

[EmilyFyffe]

Wow this is the absolute most amazing version of this song i ever heard
