Thank you for keeping history alive. My grandfather went as a babe in arms with his parents from Skibbereen in the 1800s to Western Australia, for a new life and new beginnings. The story of the great famine and its consequences should never be forgotten.
Like most, I've heard this song sung a thousand times by hundreds of people over many decades, but this is the best sung version of Skibbereen I've ever heard. Perfect timing of guitar chord, notes, the whole lot. Well done!
My Grandmother left Skibbereen during the famine to come to America. Your version is absolutely beautiful - gave me goosebumps and brought me to tears. I look forward to hearing everything from you
Thee best version of this song I have ever heard. That guitar hook at the end of some of the lines is real nice touch. Hope you put out an album of ballads. I`ll be first in line. But only you and guitar.
This brings back fond and bitter-sweet memories of my visit to Skibbereen. Probably the best rendition of the song I have ever heard. Thank you for sharing.
All the souls in heaven moved to tears by your telling of this saddest of stories
