Green Fields of France-Clancy Brothers & Robbie O'Connell
Loading...
Uploaded by theconman18 on Feb 25, 2008
Next to Rising of the Moon, probably Tom Clancy's greatest song. With brothers Paddy, Bobby, nephew Robbie O'Connell, Maine PBS Special November 11, 1988.
I think this is the only time Paddy played bodhran.

Great version of one of my all-time favourite songs
In fact second best version I've heard-not as powerful as the classic Men They Couldn't Hang recording

the songs called no mans land and waswritten by eric bogle a scottish Australian ,who said the introduction to the song was bullshit and he wrote the song some months later back in scotland

@Aminator77 - and Martin Furey (next generation of the Fureys) does an excellent job singing this with The High Kings.

its brilliant the way he explains the origins of the song

What a great song to sing on Veteran's/Armistice/Remembranc
e Day November 11, 1988. I wonder why Paddy had the bodhran? Did he just want to try something new or did they especially want him to be able to sing on the chorus? Or, perhaps, Bobby just wanted to play the harmonica for whatever reason. I personally like Paddy's harmonica playing better than Bobby's (Bobby's has excessive vibrato in my opinion).

@kayjay83 No, this is much later in their career, 1988, after Liam and Tommy Makem had left the original 1960s Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem group and formed their own duo, Makem and Clancy, during the 70s and 80s.
