You both deserve all the praise you get Caitriona. From an older Irish man living in Boston 33 years. I’m not ashamed to say I shed a small tear during your recital!!😘
I am from Mexico and I love the brave Irish people... their history, their beautiful country, their music and their beer... I will surely visit Ireland one day
I am from Ireland and I visited Mexico often on business. I was treated like family and I loved the Mexican people; so like Irish people in many ways😊😊
A native German, Ireland is the home of my heart, and I still plan to move to this island someday. And I just love this kind of music Thanks a million, Ladies, and please do more music together. 👍
This song, the way the musicians play and the way these ladies sing so beautifully along with the sad tale they sing about always brings a lump to my throat. Gorgeous music!!

How beautiful! My Gram left for the USA during this period alone at age 15. She never spoke of the loneliness starvation and hurt. You sang this so touchingly and humanly THANK YOU Go mbeannaí Dia thú araon
My mother left Ireland at the age of 16. She became a proud American but never once did she forget her roots and history back home. The music always made her cry. I miss you Mom.
This song is about love and what you take for granted until it has gone ! The first time I heard it was in Tenerife by an Irish lady called Michelle, I went In the Bullshead every night just to hear her sing it and fell in love with irish singers and folklore such as Luke Kelly . This is a very lovely cover Thankyou 😍
My wife is irish im a glaswegian we live in the most beautiful place i believe in ireland its caled Bray County Wicklow you must if visiting Ireland visit Bray the people are fantastic as for me i was born in Parkhead Glasgow so the beauty of this placetook my breath away its just the bestest place and of course sugar loaf mountain ye should check it out❤
Two historic events that are not taught in my country of the UK. The HIghland Clearances in Scotland and The Great Famine in Ireland. Growing up as a child of Scotland in the 1970s, where even my local language of Doric was discouraged in school; I now understand why we were taught about other 'great' events. The two world wars and the industrial revolution. It's never too late to learn the shameful events.
I understand your feelings. My family emigrated from Ireland to Lancashire in UK like so many other Irish, due to an Gorta Mór. I have never even been to Ireland, or had the chance to learn the Gaelic. But there is another shameful event: Cromwell's intended genocide of the Irish people. In England they even have statues of that murdering bastard, streets are named after him, there is even a portrait of him in their parliament. In Germany they at least have the inner decency not to have a portrait of Adolf Hitler in the Bundestag, or to have any streets named 'Adolf-Hitler-Strasse'.
When I here this song it reminds me of my nan and grandad who despite both being Scottish have Irish ancestry and went to a local Irish club where I grew up and when this was sung my grandad would sing along and it brings a tear to my eye as I remember them as they are no longer with us ❤❤❤❤
This country is so special I went there 3 times each time I don't want to leave it anymore because this people is so welcoming I am Swiss I love my country of course which is also a beautiful country but Ireland is a country that I love as much as I love mine I kiss you brave Irish people
Keep singing beautiful Irish dongs ladies. Nice harmony and beautiful telated backgrounds. I may not have the opportunity to visit Ireland but looking at you beautiful ladies plus the scenic backgrounds tells me Ireland is a beautiful historic country!
Greetings to you and the Polish people! Polish people are our courageous brothers & sisters. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for liberating us in the war.
@@djw1421 That's a very interesting point as Alan Clarke wrote in a book pointing out the option we had of 'siding' with the Germans for the Anglo-Saxons are Germanic, and Hitler didn't want to fight us. He thought we were bungling idiots, which we are, but we did prevent the Americans from speaking Japanese (which eludes them) since had we done so, the Russians would have been rapidly quashed and the USA would have stood alone. But either way... we lost, destroyed our Empire, crippled ourselves and didn't pay off war debts until 2006.
@@sugarkane4830 Well, obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I'd say these ladies are very pretty. Personally I think the Irish in general, especial for example The Coors and Celtic Women etc. Nothing delusional about that, just taste.
If you haven't heard this song, you've never been to an Irish pub. I've heard it many times, but this is the best version of this song I've ever heard. Thank you young ladies. You were born to sing this song.
*I couldn't find a video with lyrics, but alas:* "By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling... "Michael, they have taken you away... For you stole Trevelyan's corn, So the young might see the morn. Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay..." Low lie the fields of Athenry, Where once we watched the small free birds fly... Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing... It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry... By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling, 'Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free... Against the famine and the crown I rebelled; they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity.' Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly... Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing... It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry... By a lonely harbour wall, She watched the last star falling, As that prison ship sailed out against the sky... For she lived in hope and pray, For her love in Botany Bay... It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry... Low lie the fields of Athenry, Where once we watched the small free birds fly... Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing... It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry..."
I'm an Aussie with 5 convicts - all Irish - in my ancestry including a woman on the 2nd Fleet. This song haunts my nights, every night, since it first played on my TH-cam. Stoicism. Strength of character. Faith in a better outcome. Beautifully sung, thank you ladies.
Beautiful song though it is a sad song sung so well by these 2 beautiful ladies with such wonderful voices. I admire the brave Irish people who survived the Great Famine caused by the potato blight from 1845 to 1852. My own grandparents died in the great famine of China in the early 1900's. Pray it will never happen again anywhere in the world again.
I agree about the two ladies but the last bad famine was in Russia/Ukraine around WW1. The Bolsheviks did that on purpose. Somewhere between 60,000,000 to 100,000,000. The same group is trying to do it to USA and white Europe. Also Australia. So pray but start helping yourself by stocking up on what you can
With respect, there was more to the Irish famine than Potato Blight..Chris Fogartys book tells how the English shipped out the Irish Cattle and Sheep to England in Ships made from the finest Irish oak Forests..I have not read his book but have listened to his interview on an Irish Channel. h
From England. Have many friends north and south of the border, have also studied Irish history. We both live on very small islands off the coast of Europe. Wales, Scotland, England and Ireland share a brutal but shared past. We are probably the most culturally diverse piece of land in the world. That saying ….Poke one with a stick and the other three will respond in support!
This showed up somewhat randomly in my TH-cam feed. I was blown away with the beautiful harmonies. I share it with my wife and father in law and the played over a few times, the enjoyed it so much. Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for sharing with the world.
Thanks so much! Delighted that you like it and please have a look at this new video that’s just been released on my channel: th-cam.com/video/yg2mBf8voIw/w-d-xo.html
I've been to Ireland about 6 times and loved the pubs with irish music playing and loved every minute of it my great grandad came from Ireland birthplace unknown I think it might have been about the time of the potatoe famine so that's where the blood in came from I'm so proud❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing ,,greetings a friend...i love the irish culture and heritage...Me i am just a humble car mechanic that wish the younger generation is blessed and happy....my wish...greetings UN soldier with a heart ....no more war...keep your head up and be proud of who you are...Irland in my heart...Thanks for sharing..The show goes on....my heart will rest in the waves at sea....
This song always brings tears into my eye, it reminds me of the same struggles in Flanders in the 19th century at least we were spared the great famine
Most beautiful song I’ve heard in a long while. Makes me think of an old photo I have that was taken in Dublin in the late 1800’s of my grandmother and great grandmother. As a teenager my grandmother and a girlfriend of hers later came to America by themselves, brave girls. They’ve all passed long ago but all things Irish make me tear up.
As an Englishman, frequenting an Irish members club as often as I do, I've heard this song a million times, sang dozens of different ways. But this one brought me to tears. Cracking job, ladies. Erin Go Bragh! 🥲
I am a proud Scot and these Irish girls have won my heart. A beautiful Irish song performed with such feeling by two gorgeous young ladies. Love / Respect Keith 73yrs xxx 😥🙌🙏🫶❤️💜🏴🏴🏴
My great grandfather left Roscommon in the famine. Moved to Boston and dominated the primary care health scene in South Boston south end for next generation. Ireland strong!,
Im English with Irish maternal decent and this was so moving. Absolutely beautiful. I love irish music and its people. I have irish neighbours who are the kindest loveliest people. Thank you Ladies. 🎉
Indeed, this is the same as i when i was in North Carolina , These wonderful singers was able to awaken all the emotions in me. No matter how different the languages in the world , I think the melody feels the same in all hearts❤. I am watching from Lincolnshire England. May you have a blissful day🤲🏝🌼🌤🌹!
I was born in New Zealand, my parents from both sides were born from Irish immigrants and absolutely loved all things Irish especially the music and cooking.
My grandparents were Irish. Loved our heritage , Irish- Burmese ( Dad&Mum) but still loved our Irish family connection! Married a beautiful girl from Belfast in 1974. Still married with 5 lovely Kids & 6 awesome grandkids in Essex. Love the Irish and my family everywhere. Having said that playing &singing is a great part of our family!🤔✍️🎸🕺🏻👏👍
Greetings from Estonia! This old Irish folk ballad is the pride of the Irish. An extremely beautiful performance from charming maidens. The song penetrates deep into the soul. I love this musical story with historical content! Beautiful! 🌏⚓⚓⚓
Thank you, Larry! What I do know is that the song was written by Pete StJohn. I was probably thinking about the content of the song about the events of 1840 in the history of the Irish.
As a classical guitarist i love all sorts if music ...tonight i first hear it tonight by paddy reilly...just 10 minutes ago i never heard it now i discover you two woman sing it ? Stellar version , thankyou for this simple sad captivating yet elligant rendition...of a golden classic ive never heard til now Godbless David jmj
Love this rendition. I'm from Australia and I've loved this song since hearing the late Denis O'Keeffe perform it with accordionist Bernadette Zabawa (nee Conlon) at the Port Fairy Folk Festival about 30years ago.
Lovely tune of some broken times.
Beautiful

Yank here, married to a lady with roots in County Clare. She sings this to me regularly. So sorry for your loss of your.
I’m was born an English boy in 1953 but my grandfather was born in Ireland but i will never forget where my heart was from
In my old age, I sure find myself being attracted to Irish country music. What a splendid performance.
And probably attracted to these beautiful Irish ladies, yeah?

the great difference is: Hitler lost. So his bad deed was seen. The bad deeds of the winners are called victory.
Sad. very sad.
Wonder why our history was not taught to us.?..

Particularly, the one from a pub after someone’s Funeral, with many joining in on the choruses and several musicians playing along.
