The Fógues - The Ferryman (Live in der Balve Höhle, Germany)

The Fógues performing this iconic Dublin ballad, composed by the legendary songwriter Pete St. John. Made famous by The Dublin City Ramblers, the song provides a social commentary on the crisis of unemployment for many workers in inner-city Dublin at the time.
The Fógues performed this song as part of their set at the Irish Folk and Celtic Music Festival in the Balve Cave in Germany.
Other notable versions of this song came from The Dubliners and The Irish Rovers. It also features on our debut album "Long Nights in Pokey Places". CDs available from www.thefogues.com and the album can be streamed on all major platforms by following this link linktr.ee/thefogues
