Sweeney' Men - Sally Brown (live 2007)

Uploaded by Armunk on May 15, 2008
After being apart for more than 40 years Sweeney's Men reunited for this single concert at The Fiddlers Green Festival in Rostrevor, Co. Down in Northern Ireland 2007. Sadly Joe Dolan could'nt join them so Paul Brady stepped in and took his place. This was a once-in-a-life-time-event and I was so happy to be there and experience this memorable glorious moment.

@WobblingFiddle Haha I know it's amazing

It's 'bout time. I think the tune could be used for "Sittin' on the banks of the O-hi-o" and "Way, hey, O-hi-o." Anyway, it reminded me of that song.

Paul Brady is a feckin' soprano!!!

This is great!
I know nothing about Sweeney's Men.
Is the line up Paul Brady, Johnny Moynihan and Andy Irvine?

Sweeney's Men.
Best ever.

I was at that concert - a highlight of the Fiddlers Green Festival in Rostrevor County Down - Johnny Moynihan sang The Hiking Song unaccompanied and it was fantastic, I think it is on here somewhere - Eddi Reader came on later, I think, and did a great set too - all in all, a good night

At different times, yeah. Andy was an original member of Planxty, along with Liam O'Flynn, Christy Moore and Dónal Lunny. Later on Dónal left the band to be replaced by Johnny Moynihan. A little while before Christy left the band, Paul was picked up to join them as well. Then they split up, only to reform some years later ('78 or '79), and then they released one album that had Noel Hill in the line up as well.
