In the mid-eighties I worked in an office in London - the nicest person there was the Irish cleaning lady - we used to chat after hours. She once taped some Irish folk songs for me - including Curragh of Kildare - I was captivated by this wonderful song with its fresh harmonies. I never knew what group it was and hadn't heard the songs in many years till I found your upload. What a treasure, thank you so much! Music gets no purer than this....

@1delage was there a question that she died in suspicious circumstances?

They're reforming in Ireland soon minus one o f the girls who died tragically. It is Paul Brady...

@ friederich66, the song title is correctly called 'The Curragh of Kildare'. Unless ofcourse you are actually looking for a Chinese song about 'The Colour of Kildare' ;-)
I hope this helps!

hi friend, how about writing the artists´ me in the title? i only found it over the thumbnails on the right side of the screen. but anyone who tries to find the song by the name (remember: youtube is partly a search engine!!!)
is it so much work to write "the johnstons - the colour of kildare"? no one who entered "johnstons" will find their song here.....
don´t write an angry reply, better write the title correctly for other fans
thanks, and in the name of nameless others,

Is that Paul Brady in the picture?

It's Paul Brady alright, that's where he started off.

the words are by Rabbie Burns the poet about a Glasgie girl who is contemplating dressing as a guy to get into the Curragh to see her beau. The song was arranged by Christy Moore and Donal Lunny (R.I.P.) CIRCA 1962
AnEclecticMusicFan 3 years ago
Mostly correct, This version was arranged by The Johnstons. Christy And Donal are still alive, so no R.I.P please
