The Irish Rover - cover

A Geordie lad having a go at this great traditional Irish song. This is based on the Pogues and The Dubliners version of lyrics. Their recording reached the number 20 spot in the UK charts in 1987.

I can drive a 700bhp Evo at silly speeds, brake with my left foot, heel and toe, but one thing I could never do is play the harmonica and guitar at the same time! How the hell do you do that Pops? I tried to sing with my guitar but my hand decided it didn't know the song anymore. Seemed to have a mind of it's own all of a sudden. You are talented.

@kikii1 Thank you for the complements. I've been singing with guitar and harmonica for uncountable years now. It just comes natural now. When you really want to do something you strive and practice to get there. Same as you with your fast driving talents-I couldn't do it - very few could- but you love it and strive to be perfect. Best wishes. Bob

No problem thanks bob i will be in touch

[bobtulip48]

@nnbabs13 No problem. I wasn't planning to sell it anyway so just tell me when you are ready and you can come and pick it up. If you go on to my channel you can see it being played on Cushie Butterfield, The Wild Rover, The Blaydon Races and Going to the zoo (There are also six string versions). Bob
