I love this: what a singer! What a song! What people! What dogs!

Meself? Born: 1938 in The Lough. Baptism: Lough Chapel. First school: Saint Mary's of the Isle, First Communion: South Chapel. My home 1944 - 46: The Apple Market Tavern (now 'The Brown Derby') in Barrack Street. I understand every syllable: its my native language.

I left Cork in 1950. Dublin 1950 - 60. Lived in Cardiff since.

I'm not from Fair Hill but I love the song and the people it sings.

Jimmy Crowley is a real Cork Boy!

love the bit @ 3.20 where they're all jarred and holding hands singing a song for the hounds!! priceless - whats that song anyone know?

[markoconroy]

The song is Connie Doyle's Armoured Car

Now here is my glass and around may it pass

As we drink in a token of love

Here's to every hand that mine can expand

And those up in heaven above

Here's to every hound who knows his ground

Not matter where they are

'Twould be Connie Doyle's delight, if every hound here tonight

Had a heart like the armoured car.

This version of Boys of Fair Hill is much more wordy that the Wolfe Tones', but it's probably a better version-if they didn't stick this doggy argument in the middle!!!
