@oxfordeddie balex let's get rid of this myth that luke kelly is the greatest ballad singer ever jim mc cann is a great singer i don't deny luke was good but if you know anything about talent you'll understand this man's voice is magical just listen to his version of the foggy dew as a professional muscian and an irishman it makes my blood boil when people underate this man as a singer in his own right.

@oxfordeddie your language is A LOT affected and overworked. I'm glad you are a former balladeer and I'm also glad you're not a writer.

Great simple patriotic song and great singer. Pity he cant rerecord it as his voice is gone due to cancer. We'll have to live with this version.

-
thank you leaders of 1916

Thanks, Ireland1, for keeping the debate civilised and helpful. If not for the preamble about Ireland entering the space race and the unnecessary synthesised string orchestra backing, I'd like Patsy's version (I'm referring to the video kindly shared by skibberreen18).
I have to confess that as a former professional balladeer I like things simple and earthy rather than sugar-coated and over-sentimental.

Totally inappropriate!

Why?
lreland1 2 years ago
shmoltzy, over-instrumentalized, synthetic, frank patterson-esque and excessively vibratoed rendition of what could be a powerful ballad. All that's missing is a cornball key change to make it total tackarama!

Fair enough. Each to their own pal. Try Patsy Watchorn version with the Dublin City Ramblers.
