The Valley Of Knockanure.

[camogue1]

excellent singing so calm and natural, the knockanure accent make it surely- great song

[5218bunny]

(corr) that was: Protestant.

[5218bunny]

I'm sure Protestants were intimidated after the Treaty. Most of the Protestants in the South were landowners or otherwise more well off, so I don't think the Irish peasantry was eager for a bloodbath. The haves are usually protected. Even when they lose. The Ulster statelet was deliberately conceived to be an enclave of Protest hegonemy. No one seems to remember willie Brady. Looked great in one of those fisherman's sweaters.

[5218bunny]

Does anyone remember Willie Brady's version from the early sixties? That's the version I know from back then.

[irishlove84]

I visited the valley of Knockanure last year and the Kerry writer Gabriel Fitzmaurice sang this haunting ballad there, in front of the cross. Moving experience.

A beautiful, emotional and touching ballad. Sung to me by my mother. I love it.

My Gran-uncle was Paddy Dalton - killed by the Black & Tans in Knockanure

Paddy Dalton was my Grandmothers cousin...that would make my grandmother and your grandparnet cousins...which would make us god knows but of the same stock

[blunt1984]

Beautiful song.

[PeadarODochartaigh]

Excellent version of the tune! The Wolfe Tones made a good job of it but this is the way it should be done! Two questions though......Who is the lady singing and does she have a CD out?

[artybhoy]

The lady singing is a great singer called Peggy Sweeney and as far as i'm aware she hasn't got a cd out which is a pity as she is an amazing singer she would be a brilliant ballad singer.

[Seinas]

it was only a week or two ago i read about her new cd in the kerryman or the kerrys eye....

[MadelineH10]

@PeadarODochartaigh was that question ever answered? that woman has an amazing voice

[Diarmuidp07]

Cool place

[horsecrazi3]
