Carrickfergus - (Traditional Song)

[ScottishLad1978]

WOW your vocals on this are amazing mate, you sing like an angel. Would love to do a duet with you one day. What are you using to get your vocals with great reverb?

[foxsniper19]

Very nice job man! Just trying to catch up on episodes of Boardwalk Empire and they have Loudon Wainwright III version at the end of episode 5. I really liked it but yours is outstanding as well.

[prophetnite]

is that echo or reverb u used... TOO MUCH!...

[DardisMusic]

@prophetnite I agree. An old recording system I had and that was all I had to work with. In my more recent uploads, the echo (and bass) problem is no longer an issue. Thanks for watching anyway.

[flyingfinnn]

Superb interpretation of a great trad. song.Loads of stars for this version.

[GARETH9]

Hey nicely done! Sounds great. I like how you made it a bit differently than everyone else. I did a really modernized version of this song myself, please check it out! It's on my profile.

[lisa51663]

oh my god u do such a great version of carrick fergus i like it !!!

[weeweelegs]

great job,  5 stars

[chris3443]

I wish you'd do more videos like this one, this has accompanied me on many a study night :) Hope you're doing well.

[KrisShred]

Hannes Wader covered that song, but rewrote the lyrics and changed the title. Anyway, great song. Well done

[secretstrummer]

Beautifully done. I really liked Bryan Ferry;s version of this - but I should think you Irish thought it sucked! Best wishes from Twickenham to Nuremberg - have you been back to the Koffer?

[DardisMusic]

I haven't heard Ferry's version of this, to be honest. Interesting. And yes, I have often been back to the Koffer, just for beers (and I do a quiz there). But, I was listening to your CD on Friday gone and wondering about your plans for next year!

Thanks for watching.

[AlbertMondback]

Perdy.

[trishabrd]

I am part Irish and I love this...Beautiful Singing...Wow!

[DardisMusic]

I have never heard of this site, to be honest. Thanks for the tip.

[GiselleMeraud]

Love the song, loved your performance. Giselle xxxx

[DardisMusic]

Thanks Giselle - glad you liked it!

[johndebaptist2009]

[johndebaptist2009]

@johndebaptist2009 I KNOW AS MY FAMILY HAVE LIVE IN AREA FOR 500YRS

[redflags123]

Extraordinary voice, distinctive style, beautiful song. Thanks Kev, for a moving interpretation. How I wish I could see you perform live!

[DardisMusic]

We'll organise something. And I am sort of serious about that comment! Never say never!

[schabitu]

this made my evening comfortably quiet, thanks - and it`s so beautifully sung!

[DardisMusic]

Thank you so much!

[statician1]

Nah serious mate, you have a cracking style and voice.

[DardisMusic]

Great comment! Thanks for watching!

[ACU5TIC]

Great job,captures the spirit perfectly,cheers.

[DardisMusic]

Thanks doctor!

[emifolk]

never heard this song before but it's a fantastic ballad and i like your performance a lot

5***** my friend nice and peaceful week to you

[DardisMusic]

Thanks very much my friend!

[SilentDilemma]

Mr. Dardis, this is awesome as always. Keep this up and you'll be able to make an album of traditionals. An album, by the way, I would most certainly buy.

[DardisMusic]

Thanks (Sir) Steve - I have a Demo of traditional stuff more or less ready now and am actually planning to play more live (if people will have me).

[dramawench579]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Will you please cover the Rufus Wainwright/Jeff Buckley "Hallelujah"? Your voice is sooo... creme de la creme. If you had a CD, I would buy it!

Thank you so much for sharing your gift with the world. You're lovely.

[mysticcynic]

What a great song! I've always liked it. And your performance is great.

[DardisMusic]

Thank you very much for cheering up my Sunday!

[DardisMusic]

Thanks very much! I have tried 'Hallelujah' in the past but I was never pleased with the results - I will try again and see what happens!

Thanks a million for the kind words!

[Boucrate]

You make me realize I much lucky I was to hear incredible traditional songs all trough my wondering musician life. And tonight I'm realizing how much I'm lucky, that all are lucky to have such as Artist like you performing these beautiful Songs Stories for us now! Merci et Bravo! Et Encore!

[DardisMusic]

We should get a room together - you me and Luis and a couple of others and then we can sing and listen and ... f**k, there'll be tears.

Thank you my friend!

[Boucrate]

Yep...I could share my interpretation of "Road to Lisdoonvoorna" (I misspel I know) just to pick us up after we cry, lol!..But there's cyber's room on Stickam?..Salut just a thought.:-)

[Tilly220]

Absolutely stunning Kevin-honestly this is so beautiful-!!!

[DardisMusic]

:o)

[LeeshaHarvey]

Lovely as always! *****

[DardisMusic]

Thank you Leesha!

[bear9253]

Another great song, Kevin. Makes me wish I could visit your homeland sometime and just sit around and listen to the wonderful traditional songs. Till then, your amazing performances will do just fine.

[DardisMusic]

I will have to come to visit you!

[heilong79]

Great, your voice is very powerful, especially for these kind of songs.

[DardisMusic]

This is my endless dilemma - should I concentrate? Technically, it is much easier to sing blues or something else but Irish folk has, in all honesty, been done to death.

Baccara!

[heilong79]

Dont stick to anyone thing would be my advise, putting a label on yourself is pointless when your an artist.

[DardisMusic]

Thanks for that. I suppose you are right too. Enjoy your Sunday!

[GibsonSGsRock1]

Smack up job mate.

5*

--Matt

[DardisMusic]

Thanks Matt!

[jsherlock95]

Amazing Kevin. Are you getting a little homesick?? Fantastic performance. You are truly talented. Well done!!

G&A

[DardisMusic]

Only a little :o)

Thanks for watching guys!

[QueenOfWannabe87]

Another great performance! 5! peace&love, Anne

[DardisMusic]

Thanks Anne!

[hallbe]

Nice one!

[DardisMusic]

Thank you hallbe! Maybe I should try to rap these ones out!

[chris3443]

A Dardis rap would go immediately to my website!!!!!!!

[DardisMusic]

Oh ... that looks like a challenge Chris! :o)

[hallbe]

The only reason I rap is because I don't sing well. You, my friend, can sing!

But, hell, It'd be fun to see you do one!!

[owlphanumeric]

a perfect song for this morning...

actually your voice has a really rock n' roll sound to it in some spots here that gives the song a really cool depth. i love this;-)

[DardisMusic]

Th♡nks Callie :o)

[47XXYs]

Fantastic Kevin.. I love that song. Thank you. :)

[DardisMusic]

Thanks Justin - glad you like the rendition!

[bentonio07]

Very beautiful!

Didn't know it at all - shame on me.

But who else but you could sing this song more convincingly!!!

Wow, your vocal performance is very emotional, your voice clear and strong!

One for THE LIST

And we shouldn't wait for my job to become less time consuming that will never happen I fear ...

Wie sieht's nächste Woche aus?

[DardisMusic]

Danke für die schöne Wörter. Nächste Woche ist nicht so einfach. Nur am Freitag abend bin ich frei - naja - vielleicht über nächste Woche ist einfacher junger Mann!

[WizKil]

That was very nice. Well done! 5*****

[DardisMusic]

Thank you my friend!

[Dave64G]
