Memories of Derry City

- I love Ireland and this was my first time in Derry and it stole a piece of my heart. The Town I Loved So Well is one of my favourite songs and walking the walls and the streets with so much history really brought the song to life. It's hard to believe that the city's 'Troubles' were so few years ago with such a tranquillity about it now, but the murals on the walls are a reminder of the darker times. The Peace Bridge, the Peace Flame, and the many memorials, murals, and statues marking peace after the troubled times are good to see. The people of Derry are friendly and welcoming and as a pedestrian I have to say that Derry has some of the most considerate drivers I have ever come across. Derry, it was a lovely 3 days and I hope it's not too long before I can return and see more of your amazing city. The music is Derry's song 'The Town I Loved So Well' written by Derry man Phil Coulter, performed here by The High Kings with the amazing vocal of Darren Holden. The song was recorded for their 'Four Friends Live album/DVD at the Millennium Forum in Derry during May 2014.

Very beautiful photos and music of The High Kings' Darren Holden
Derry love so much
Great video, great photography.
Nice tribute to my home town. When Phil Coulter writes I remember the day that I earned my first pay when I played in a small pick-up band, it was my sound system that they borrowed. The called themselves, "The ARABS" - "A Rhythm And Blues Sound".
Still using that photo after all these years. Still same strings on that twin necked guitar.With the amount of photos of it in the "Journal" they should have bought you a new set. Up Broadway.Not many of us refugees left,but good to see your looking so young
It seems to be a beautiful place to visit,greetings from Argentina.
Marcella,as song goes "what's lost is lost and gone forever".Coulter's "Lullaby" tells off the cancer that led to that loss.
So amazingly BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you Carol, I believe I was sitting next to you last Saturday in Maynooth. You make great videos!

Who are the singers of the Town I Loved So Well
The High Kings with Darren Holden on lead vocal. I did state that in the video description. This recording of the song was taken from the band’s live ‘Four Friends Live’ album recorded at the Millennium Forum in Derry in front of a Derry audience, their song!
Who's the statue of at 1.15 ?
The Apprentice Angel - This is on the Fountain Estate in the loyalist part of Derry and is a memorial to the apprentice boys who locked the city gates against the forces of Catholic King James II, starting the 1689 Siege of Derry .
@@Caz57 Thank you for that. I live on Bishop Street and I had never seen this statue.
