Paddy that's a powerful version,I remember you when I was younger growing up in Dublin.I miss your voice,don't hear it as much nowadays.Great to be able to see you here on Youtube. You're a legend.Regards...Jack.
love this song, i live in Newfoundland, and every sunday morning while mom was cooking salt beef and cabbage, dad would have a stiff drink and play this . now i have kids and i do the same every week, lol , such fond memories.thanks for putting this up. cheers
Realy Nice and relaing song reminds me of me Child hood with me Father playing all old folk music. I just played it to my 3 week old baby and he fell asleep after just having a tantrum. Sheer Quality
I'll have to dig up that live from Dublin LP that this clip is from. It's been years since I bought it. I used to listen to it constantly when it came out and it's still one of my very favorite live albums ever.
Great version

This is gorgeous, I do agree with you, I am a frequent commenter on here and adore the Irish music.
My husband's Grandad swept chimney's years ago,and was a war hero who got the DCM for courage in the Gt War. This young man was a hero too.
