Foy Vance & The Ulster Orchestra. Indiscriminate Act Of Kind

[sugarbeat9bz]

Christ, the chills i get every time i listen to this..... the good kind.

[phqinhipp]

i truly love stumbling bumbling blind into a true talent and the way it feels the very first time i hear and feel the emotions that a gift of true talent brings and knowing it will be just like that first time, everytime, thank u for sharing your gift,,

[frandrastic]

Is that David Brophy conducting?

[langtoniful]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!

[TELFORD88]

duke special is a bell end compared to foy!!!

[johnbjr1]

Awesome song, lyrics are awesome, instrumentals are awesome and the voice and playing of Foy are stellar!

[SheaAhearn]

Who would dislike this? That one person must have been frightened and jumped and hit the wrong one on accident. Anyways. This is real music. Not that mainstream shit you hear on the radio.

[LANDYMARTY]

foy do not know how to contact you my e mail is marty_vance@yahoo.co.uk please contact me

[tvaughan807]

Amazing video.. I just wish this guy had a personality... heard him a few times in concert.. he is simply not a nice man! Im from Northern Ireland too,,

[10benson]

@tvaughan807 he doesn't need a personality,

[DolittleDee]

I was there. Phenomenal. Thanks for posting this.

[joecimine]

this song makes me want to be a better person too... but i think if we like it that much, then we are good people to start with

[brianmcstea]

He almost stole the show from Snow Patrol last night singing this in the Waterfront, amazing

[kidneylou]

He sang this with Snow Patrol last night at the Waterfront. Just wonderful.

[TheSupersonic1972]

This song makes me want to be a better person

[big5258]

I was there that night, it was the first time I had seen Foy live or heard this song and I can't describe it, but there were goose bumps, my eyes were welling up... This is music that moves you, it changes you, absolutely incredible.

[MrCaptainTrips]

This Foy Vance tune is wonderful. This arrangement may be one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

[turnersterror88]

This was a cracking night. Although Julie Feeney is AWFUL! And not even Northern Irish. What was the point??? Duke and Foy forever :)

[Justheppy]

Wow...

[PureWelshBloodCelt]

O lord this is amaing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GetTheFunkOut46]

does anyone have an mp3 version of this? i really want it. i have the album version and and another studio version but this is the version that got me into him.

[orchardman]

Did you get the MP3 of this!? I can't find any MP3s anywhere for him! Just discovered him yesterday & my ears are bleeding with his goodness already!

[GetTheFunkOut46]

i dont have the mp3 for this version, but i have his album. and 2 extra versions of gabriel and the vagabond and this song. and i have crosstown traffic. and ive been trying to find mp3s of some of his other songs but no luck yet.

[maverickchinaman]

what's your email? I'll send it to you.

[GetTheFunkOut46]

i realised u meant him now i feel like an idiot lol

[77number77]

if you have this song, would you mind possibly sending it to me too? or the gabriel and the vagabond song?

[JackDavis16]

he is ripping off metallica by using an orchestra

j/k

[gramach]

I suppose Chopin, Strauss, Beethoven Mozart and Bach all ripped of Metallica as well!!!!!!!!!!!

[JackDavis16]

well its not as though this guy has written pieces for the orchestra has he, like mozart, they are playing along with him. tard

[BrothersGrimm666]

i think the conducter approached him with the idea for doing this several years ago, exactly like the composer for metallica.

Thousands of artists every year use orchestras in their music. to think that Foy vance is ripping ff anyone, least of all metallica, is ridiculous. really dude, you leave comments like this up on the net and then call someone else a tard is hilarious. i'm going to announce this on my rock show.

[JackDavis16]

read back what i said carefully

the first point was a joke (thats why it says 'j/k ' at the end

then im calling the guy above a tard because he misunderstood the point i was making (which was a joke anyway) as chopin etc are not performers, not in the same sense anyway

and also what rock show?

[taxi90809080]

get your facts right first please mate ... foy was approached by our conductor to do this concert. at first foy didnt want to but then agreed

[chrisgilroy19]

what a version

[JooliaXD]

i saw him at summer madness tooo :D

[chrisgilroy19]

me too legendary songwriter and person

[conmul06]

foy has a george loudon guitar.

[rogierpeerlings]

Goosebump brilliant....I liked the acoustic song but the orchestra ads a whole new dimension!

[shevshomevideos]

absolute genius! Does anyone know what his guitar is here?

[hwajones]

thats a lowden, handmade in belfast, northern ireland, thats an old one though, theyv now merged or trade under avalon..

[shevshomevideos]

Cheers mate!

[SFHester]

woh!!! powerfull is not the word!!!

[dawsyyy]

woah goosebumps :) saw him live at summer madness last night-AMAZING!

[bouschaff]

best video on youtube, i reckon.

[AUBGAA]

this is one of those guys who stops all conversation in a sec when he starts singing. recordings are good but he's truly amazing live!

[orlakearney]

I was at this recording... IT WAS FREE!!!! I think this version with the orchestra is better than the one on the album. And yes that guy is using a whisk; Duke Special was performing that night after Foy I think that explains it :)

[chloemonthebiffy]

incredible

[adoniaw]

just saw him last nite in mandela belfast - absolutely UNBELIEVABLE. legend.

[johnbudding]

is it just me, or is that percussionist hitting

the cymbal with a Whisk....

2.24 in to the track!

But, what a lovely song- Foy is a total legend!

[teabag5]

haha looks like it!

Love this!

[taxi90809080]

its not a whisk lol ... but same sorta thing

[ClaireDonaghy]

This is perfect...I'm not even ashamed to say it made me cry. What a legend.

[youandmebothUK]

Superb!!!

Saw Foy Live in London (Kiburn) really is an outstanding Talent.

[gramach]

This is up there with the greats

John lennon Bob Dylan. If there is anything better out there just let me know

[gramach]

Just played Richard Thompsons Beeswing. Listen to Foy and then Richard. They both work

[kcliftoncarroll]

wow.....inarticulate speech of the heart.......hard to find words for the power of this performance......i met foy at sxsw in austin last month and he's a totally real, level-headed, compassionate guy........knowing that makes his talent even more unbelieveable

[bigobriener]

Jesus Fucking Christ. If i died right now, id die a happy man just knowing i got to listen to this...If i was there that night i'd actually consider killing myself..

Most flawless live performance iv ever seen.

someone please mail me a big thick rope now

[racethebreeze]

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better...try Foy's "PLEASE DON'T GROW" from iTunes. The best 79p you will ever spend. I've run out of adjectives to describe how good it is

[redpablo1]

theres a nice version of foy perfroming this with salvation rmy band of belfast on the across the line bbc site

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

I was on a recording sess with Foy for his new album, and he played a little set of the old stuff with a couple of friends who popped in! just me sitting quietly in the studio whilst they absolutely rocked,a very special moment, things like that make being a poor engineer worthwhile :) - Foy puts 100% into every song he plays,although must admit that this is pretty special!

[kevinfaulkner00]

@bigobriener strange it has that affect on you. it makes me want to live!

[beezer2302]

Of all the people in all the world I hope that Pammy likes ths...

[BrothersGrimm666]

saw the man at oxeygen in 07. rest of my mates went off to see some other band and trudged through the assault course of muck along with everyone else while i sat and was mesmerised by this mans voice. i've never been moved by vocals like this eddie vedder. rare gift this man has.

[jbu2predictor]

A real musician with soul. Best Irish soul singer since the great Liam Ó Maonlaí. Power lyric. He even makes a crap venue like the water front look good!

[Awaitingcertainty]

God's got his finger on this boy. Hope he doesn't change.

[johntrafford]

superb singer.cant get enough .hope he knows the effect he has on his audience.a beautifully unique talent.has to be heard live.

[jasondcone]

Wonderful,Good to see your doing well,Far cry from the consert all those years ago at Gransha.Keep it up.
