I tuned in mid way through this song on Miriam O' Callaghan Show this morning. I had no idea who was singing but it stopped me in my tracks. I've listened to "Shanagolden" sung by so many people down the years, none could touch this. It's by far the nicest version, really beautiful. What a stunning voice, effortless singing, absolutely amazing.
Don stiffe is one of our legends in the folklore of Irish singing what a magical voice listening to Dons stuff with your eyes closed can take you like a bird flying around our beautiful cliffs of Ireland
The best singer of his genre in the country. Should be a household name, fantastic singer and songwriter. Up Galway, well done Don, from a Shantalla man 👍
4 years ago my wife and I went over to Ireland to see Don Stiffe .Trust me to hear him live is a wonderful experience .The power he controls with such fine pitch was worth the cost to travel across the Irish SEA . We will o it again .Fantastic .

B.D. MacMahon Absolutely the best male version of this plaintive, sad, but ultimately lovely, song. Females do it differently, & some do it very well: )

Great song, I'm a Brit love well written songs with meaning. I was also a history buff but anyone to take over my country -give me some C4 a det cord or an AK . I can't hit a cat with a water pistol but take over my place and ..... Peace and love to everyone in the world. Make love, not war.
