[scobey5050]

I met Tommy in 1990 on the Achille Lauro at Italia 90,I was only 18 at my first world cup and Eamonn Campbell from the Dubliners was also on board, oh what a trip and what sing songs at night with Tommy &co., a sound man!!!!

[laboheme26]

I wish they'd come to SW France - the Basque country. I want to see them again.

Legends



[laboheme26]

I love these guys. It's years since I saw them live, but I saw them many times. It's a shame to see that gap where Derek should be. The last time I saw them live, I talked with him and a split in the band seemed imminent.

Love Tommy's voice - he's still wearing that gold necklace, and I'm sure I've seen Noel in that shirt years ago :-0 Keep singing forever, Wolfe Tones!

[irishgeal1]

Magic! Seen them their 1st time ever in Glasgow. The place was about three quarters full. Had only just recorded 'Joe MacDonnell' at the time and was one of the 1st times to play it. Very emotional!  After that, the place was bustin at the seams each time they appeared! Great memories, thanks for sharing.

Great song by the Wolfe Tones. As for the person who thinks the US stinks, stay home in your own country because the USA has a lot to offer for all people. God Bless the USA.

[Marcjaydee]

I Love Ireland and USA sucks.

Greetz from Germany

[shonkhuulai]

@Marcjaydee I agree, love Irish and never join the (northern) states. To ptap2000:

Worry, guy, cause i stay in Europe. IT IS MUCH BETTER HERE! Solve your problems on your own!

[whisperinglindas]

@Marcjaydee

I tend ta disagree with ya

[irishgeal1]

tommy byrne is king of irish singers now.

[FreedomSaoirse]

Tommy Byrne sings this Ballad as if he,s in a rush..I would say..He,s dying to get of stage here...Remember the fans that you have left..

The ones who buy tickets.

Your band is in Turmoil..Remember that if Nothing...DUBLIN my arse

[euroweenie]

[polbrannagh]

This song was in my head all this week, it's always a different one

[stonedroses100]

How much would I love to go back to the Plaza in Glasgow to see the tones again happy days

Welcome to 21st Century Scotland.

Yes that's right they are still bitter OB's.

[benjaminf355]

Love this song, allwaysa great one in the Pub at last orders.. Tiocfaidh ár lá, agus Imeacht gan teacht ort... :-)

[ciaranfox2008]

@benjaminf355 true

[josparkes1]

@benjaminf355 Maybe if you live in Ireland, I would love to hear songs like this in the UK, I can only hear them on CD or if I go to Ireland, which I did last year, and saw theW Tones in Dublin at Rathfarnham !

[h60562]

@josparkes1 the wolfetones play in england most winters

[josparkes1]

@h60562 Thanks, but it's usually a good way from Norfolk unfortunately !

[revolution55125]

@josparkes1 That's because they are against the Union Jack.

[josparkes1]

@revolution55125 Can't remember what your comment was ,but actually the Wolfe tones are amost certainly against the boycott and prejudice that the British showed the Irish, when they occupied their country !

[revolution55125]

@josparkes1 Obviously you forgot what I said, because I said the same thing, in simpler terms.

FUCK THE UNION JACK.

[darkestfugue]

great live version, no comment on the skangers in the celtic shirts, they must have taken time off from hanging on the street corner to go to the gig that night

[jackien72]

Wonderful song...great singer...long may they reign on the world music scene!

[missmarplefan]

he lands in new york to stay with his uncle benjy(a policeman)who just happens to be shot dead that day.another pathetic song arousing pity and sympathy.the tears must be flowing down you're cheeks

[Jangofett221]

Correction;

*Your. Also, I see no way that the intent of this song is to 'arouse pity' or sympathy, nor is it pathetic.

So, thanks for the attempt to make us all feel bad for enjoying fine music. As the phrase goes "A for effort", but, you failed, so fuck off.

Have a nice day.

[nuttycrust35]

Fair play tommy ur the man up the tiocs keep the flag flying up the RA

[missmarplefan]

woulfe tones are an embarrassment to irish people,irish music and humanity

[meltogue]

If you dont like this music you should go to watch what you do like , Im sure its ABBA or some of the Boy bands lol

[DLS95]

fuck u missmarplefan dis is a great song

[missmarplefan]

[Milford06]

Great Band but i think Tommy had a few drinks in him lol when he was singing this song. At 10 sec he says 8 instead of 18 years ol lol. Up the Legenary Wolfetones

[truedub1916]

a work of art

[bansidheaz]

Awesome! I would listen to Tommy Bryne sing the alphabet over and over and be perfectly happy. What a gorgeous voice.

[JamesLeyden123]

UP EIRE UP THE PROVOS

[buckfastred]

This songs goes out to all our brothers a sisters who left ireland all them years a go.Read the books watch the movies the irish done well for them selves even against our greast rivals the italians i say that because my aunt from tyrone married a italian.GOD BLESS THE USA A IRELAND.

[americanreject89]

my dad used to play this n nw i no all d words great song!

[celticedd]

(JOHN HARTSON) god bless ,

[celticedd]

celtic f.c. and all irish celts pray for our hero JOHN HAERTSON

[cfwilzn]

It reminds me a whole lot too.  Most of my Irish family initially lived in the Bronx, worked the docks in Hoboken, in Brooklyn and in Westchester Co. Many came in around 1900 with nothing -- that means nothing at all. But, many of them worked as servants, educated their kids, and made them middle class people (working in NYC at various jobs, finance, teaching, and working on the docks).

[yearight1970]

Wolf tones at their best

[castlemain24]

so classic fair play to the wolfe tones

[KvSlatt]

This song reminds me of my parents who both came over to the US from clare and dublin respectively. The came to New York with no money, lived in the Bronx, and worked downtown. They eventually started their own business and sent me and my sister to college. I love America and Ireland. We are so countries that are so interconnected and I love it. Plus most of my parents family is still there. Thats 18 aunts and uncles. Ive been their 35 times. God bless the United States

[KvSlatt]

The own a bar and restaurant of course!

[Shlapp1]

Fair play to them.. all the best from Tipperary!!!!

[cakaimmy]

The poster below says ..stop the extradition of Sean Garland.. just because he is 75, dont make me laugh, he wasnt always 75 when he was involved in sectarian bombing campaigns, Give Sean Garland the electric chair, just after he has been hung drawn and quartered, Smash them all IRA Scum !

[Boulavogue]

You said it cel678tic, this has been my drinking song for the last 6years. Some great memories to this tune

[ocplunk]

God I hate the fact I am a Northerner. UP The CSA,,,Proud Irish Catholic

[cel678tic]

My favorite Wolf Tones song.

[TAL1888IRA]

thats a sentiment shared by many about this song a truly great song

[snuffdevlin]

i love this song...

[oXClassyLassyXo]

Wat a legendary song!

[workerspartydublin]

stop the extradition of Sean Garland, Sean Garland is 75 years old and is in poor health. This extradition request is nothing more than a vindictive act signed by Condoleezza Rice of the outgoing discredited Bush / Cheney regime.

Nothing other than the continued persecution of Sean Garland will be served by this request,thank you

[cairojoseph]

I honestly think that Tommy is up there with the very very best - Luke Kelly etc

[aoibhe]

Yes, he definitely is. No one can sing a ballad like Tommy Byrne can! Some going for 45 years on the road!!!!!

[frasercraig01]
