In my humble opinion, music defines the true character and heart of people. I love my Irish heredity. Blessings from Allan Quinn in America The Great.
awww Dessie - 'tis the Cleggan (Pier Bar) Disaster Herself here - sending love and great memories across the waves - shur I hope we'll meet soon for a drink in Days and Murrays ... heaps of love xxxxx
People may criticize Dessie for his singing but he was the through master and founder of this song in bringing it to the fore. As soon as he was first herd singing it, it was pulled and snatched from under his mist and recorded by other singers!!!! I dont care who sings it but they will never have the life and spark added to it that the great Sharon Shannon gives it!!!! "More power to your Elbow" Dessie & Sharron!!!!! You both are the true foundation of this song!! "Keep Her Lit !!!!!!!!!!
It's a weird one, it has something. Kinda reminds me of The Fall, in the sence the band is really good and the singer is trying to be, can't be, anything but himself. And judging by the people in the audience they respond to it.
I can't remember the banjo player's name? I saw him when he accompanied Sharon Shannon in Perth, Western Australia. He's awesome! So is Sharon ... of course. Greetings to everyone from Big Hugh of Mundlimup. And Desi ... ain't bad at all ...
This man is unbelievable! Anyway ... I love it! And, furthermore, I want to send greetings to all my lovely friends on the Belfastfolk website - they are all terrific people! Greetings to one and all from Jarrahnut (Colin) in wonderful Western Australia ... xxxxxx ... to the girls!

Whatever people might say about Dessie not being able to sing, this is the definitive version of the song.

This man's a genius!
Musician extraordinaire.
A simple, humble man who is endowed with a unique talent in truly interpreting the lyrics of the songs he sings.
Could someone please post his excellent rendition of "Blue Eyes Crying in The Rain"?
