Excellent rendition! It had me in tears. Im a direct descendant of James the eldest of the brothers on my fathers side. It’s lovely to hear so many people still singing this song.
Not alone is this, in my view, one of the most beautiful airs in the Irish languish but the story behind the song is so very poignant and sad. Whether the brothers were guilty or not, what was done to them was cruel and despicable. Their memories will live forever.
