Brothers Diarmuid and Brían Mac Gloinn are Ye Vagabonds. They currently play Walshe’s in Stoneybatter, Dublin, every Monday night. - เพลง
I just found this and ye's are GREAT! What is so so so special here is the Scots venacualr with that Irish accent - oh man... that is how it is between these nations ... totl RESPECT!
It warms my heart to see that our music is in good hands in the next generation.
I first heard Martin Carthy sing this some 50 years ago followed by a few others. You two lads easily stand with the rest in your singing of it here. The same tears from fifty years ago were again shed in one of the most beautiful ballads I've ever heard. Thank you, the film maker, Mr. FJ Child's efforts and especially the unknown souls who carried this story forward. Just a stunningly beautiful song.
The hairs on my neck are tingling, such an emotional song…beautiful…
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
very right
Have you heard the Sweeney's Men track by Andy Irvine ? th-cam.com/video/d7BoGH0Gcxs/w-d-xo.html
The story is, he looked up the wrong tune for the lyrics and invented this classic version that people have followed ever since.
He revisited it decades later for a lovely re-make: th-cam.com/video/swDw8vCDdAc/w-d-xo.html
Very well done. And then there's the sublime Dick Gaughan version.
I love the voices, and the video totally works, young handsome knaves, in the land that time forgot. Perfect.
Love that shop.
@@sundayhawkins5207 It's original meaning was boy, serving lad, a working class young 'un.
So heartwarming to hear men of such tender years embracing this music, we must preserve such a rich heitage for future generations to enjoy
Pleased you enjoy them so much!! Do have a look at the other films I've made in collaboration with Ye Vagabonds on my website arbutusyarns.net/?s=ye+vagabonds
Old people are the best of us. Let's stop throwing them away.
One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
I keep coming back to this beautiful video. Both the music and imagery are heartbreakingly beautiful. Thank you.
Plus these fellows are so cute.
If I had to hear this for the rest of my life, I would not call myself a poor prisoner.
In times like these it's nice to escape into a story that's hundreds of years removed from the present moment, even if that time was worse on the whole
Beautifully sung by two handsome young men✌😘😘🍀🍀🍀❤❤
Can hear Sandy Denny as a third harmony here...such honest fayre it doesn't get any better than this...it wont get anymore REAL AND BARE..L9VE LOVE LOVE IT..BLESS YOU MYLES
Yes...Dear Sandy...RIP Sweetest Sandy
I would have loved to have heard Sandy sing this one.
I agree with others Myles. This duo's music is exceptional, but your incredible film-work really takes the beauty of their music to a whole other level of beauty and story-telling. Absolutely amazing work. I really look up to film makers like yourself.
Many thanks :) X
@@myles.o.reilly I agree, perfect video.
A TH-cam treasure.
I can only say, thanks TH-cam for your algorithm.
I'm a bit late to the show, but I just stumbled across this. This is absolutely awesome... I love those crystal clear voices. The harmonies in the vocals are absolutely stunning... Very nicely done!
Brings tears to my eyes almost instantly. My new favorite version of this old song. Beautiful, thanks!
I can't stop coming back to this song after more than 4 years
this is so real authentic and beautiful
Beautiful song, well sung by these lads.
2020 and still brings me to tears!
How could anyone not love this song. This is a beautiful rendition of one of my favourite songs.
Can't like this video enough. Everything about it is beyond perfect. Keep coming back to it.
Can’t stop listening to this. The film and the voice together
This song is the best ….. it places you back in days of old ……
Diarmuid, Brían, this is absolutely fantastic!!!
Absolutely wonderful. What a characteristic and unique but yet traditional voice. Such a joy to listen to.
What a smile Brian !! Chers from little Britain ! Gwenn
Im in a Vagabond moment... Nobody speak to me
Good touch of Scots in there and clean simple treatment. One of the first songs I ever learned through. And once accidentally played when not recognising an older John Renbourn seen in a local pub for the first time.
Beautiful voice, beautiful singing!
Another beauty from the Child Ballad collection. These epic ballads were the movies of their day and told some pretty scary stories. Nice that young people have taken them up and passed them on. Ye Vagabonds are lovely.
Haven't heard this song in years . A standard in every English Folk Club in the '70s !! Always loved it and this is a good version .
Amazing
Bloody awesome
the way that man says Romanian brings so much joy into my life
Wow, great performance, great film!
What a superb film of two amazing singers!
I've been listening to this every day for weeks now!
Even had to learn the song. Thankyou.
The voice. im melting
Awakened to the first breath in the voice's and drawn in to the Beautiful authentic filming ..love

Fecking awesome!
Some 25 years ago I heard a BBC series on border ballads, one was by Archie Fisher: Willie o' the Winsbury... I was utterly beguiled, and until today had never heard a version to match...
That was sublime!
There are other good versions, by Sweeney's Men, and by Pentangle.
Did you ever listen to sister Ray Fisher singing “Willie’s Fatal Visit” ? Another fantastic rendition :)
Anais Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer did a child ballads album, it's gorgeous. Their version of this is absolutely lush, but not as emotive and passionate as this slice of perfection.
Not forgetting Dick Gaughan
I'm not sure quite why, but I had tears streaming down my face by the end of this. So lovely ♥
Precisely what I wanted to happen :) First time I heard it was the same. So I'm pleased to spread the #happytears
I once loved a lass. Jock o Hazeldean. Peggy Gordon. The Corries. I've cried t all these tracks
It's a powerful song and a powerful rendition. Tears is the most appropriate reaction.
when music is pure the heart flows
@@davidflett8107May I also suggest Fhir a bhata. Many covers, including Sandy Denny.
This took my breath away for 7mins 5secs, my heart was pumping so hard, I cried, I smiled (hard), thank you.
I love this too, really nice.
Like the past brought forward❤
Spurred on this doc you will enjoy th-cam.com/video/TK1EYJVa7QA/w-d-xo.html
My god, that was beautiful.
Love the song, the singing, and the backdrop of the "mini documentary". Bravo
I first heard this in 1971 here in Boston. I learned it. I have a new favorite. It is yours. I listened to it many times. The film is also entrancing. I look forward to hearing more of your music.
one of my favourite songs ever! this is so utterly perfect!
Just listening and watching for the hundredth time. And then spotted my guitar at 5:42 on the ground. Must've bought it a few months later😆
Feckin marvellous. Slaintè !
As fine a version of this, one of my favorite songs, as I have ever heard. The singing is magnificent and the guitar accompaniment is just right. A favorite here in Portugal as well as the world over. Muito bom!!!!
Brilliant song and singers, I love those boys😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Diamuid looks rather like my murdered sweetheart. I watch this vid and have an illusion of him back for at least a few minutes.
Not to mention I love you guys' sound
Sorry to hear about your love Angelia, it stuck me. You are seen and you are loved. And I hope this comment brings you some solelence, big hugs from the west of Ireland.
That was so, so good. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
what a bliss...thank you
Heard this fantastic brother-duo y'day at walthamstow festival! Gorgeous blend of voices! They really touched my soul! Thanks Ye Vagabonds!
Ah and I love the video as well!
so enchanting and beautiful...
Oh my! Lovely version. I first heard the song by Pentangle ... absolutely love this version with the old language. 💕
Beautiful
Pure, pure beautiful cover. Outstanding!
My favourite song and this is the first time I've heard their cover it. Love it!
My new favorite also. I had known it as "Farwell, Farewell" by Fairport Convention. But after looking into it I guess Fairport absconded with the tune to 'Willie O Winsbury'. I'm glad to have found Ye Vagabonds by accident. When I first heard this song done by them I was speechless. I posted it everywhere saying, "Please! Please listen to this!" :o)
What a voice!
what a voice this guy has
A beautiful cover.
This track is on their 2019 album "Hare's Lament". I found it on amazon (CD comes with mp3 download).
Earlier albums are available on Bandcamp.
Love the music, love the film!
I love this voice....
This is totally amazing. Sublime voices, such a beautiful version of one of my most favourite folk songs. Anne Briggs has always been my favourite recording but now has a rival in this. I can't imagine that it could be improved upon by releasing a CD but would be first in the queue to buy a 'collection' recorded by these guys.

Brilliant... just brilliant thankyou
Absolute pure quality,
THANK YOU .
Lovely. Thank you, lads for your lyrical and simple telling of this old tale xx
Fantastic!
what an amazing performance, I hope to see them one day...
Exceptional harmonies, and excellent musicianship.
I love how the King sees Willie and is like 👀 "No homo lad but I would"
Absolutely unhinged plot for a folk song. Imagine your *father-in-law* being like "well I was gonna kill you for banging my daughter, but like, I would also smash, so - "
I don't know of anything else like it:
It's an at least 3 century old folk song, and it's got this pretty blatant acknowledgement of sexuality and gender being in some way fluid; it's wild!
@@TheYopogo It really doesn't. Sexuality in no way needs to be "fluid" in order to understand what traits that would appeal to someone else. That's just basic human empathy.
@@LC-wv7tz I had basic human empathy with your mum B)
Great music and a great film-work as usual, beautiful! Many thanks from Portugal!
Beautiful!
This is my favourite thing of all time. This aul man would adore this.
I fear for how it may have progressed. I called up to this shop last Saturday.
Business has ceased to exist it seems. That makes me very sad. I was hoping to trade instruments.
There's very few like this left in Dublin. If any.
this melts my heart
great vid, as always
Brilliant filming❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
can't stop listening. We're coming to Dublin in April. We'll be coming to see you lads play x
Loving the subtitles :)
Love everything about this.
just wonderful
Thank you for this... it's made my day... Beautiful. x
Brilliant, beautiful voices, go on with it!
We don't get to wear berry brown gowns these days. But make you no mistake we remember them.
Brilliant piece of work
lovely job love it
Very mellow and well done.
Just bought their album on bandcamp, can't wait to hear more from them and look forward to their Australian tour!
Spectacular.
I seem to have got some dust in my eyes over here...
beautiful video and song well done
Lovely stuff.
My FAVORITE version of this song. Great video too.
