- Christy Moore and Stockton’s Wing perform ‘Saint Patrick Was A Gentleman’.
Christy Moore is joined by Stockton’s Wing live from the Abbey Tavern in Howth, Dublin. At the start of the show Christy Moore introduces the members of the Irish traditional/folk group Stockton’s Wing.
A group of lads who between them have more All-Ireland medals for music than Tipperary, Killkenny and Cork have hurling medals.
The band members are Paul Roche (flute), Tommy Hayes (bodhrán), Kieran Hanrahan (bouzouki), Maurice Lennon (fiddle) and Tony Callanan (guitar).
Christy Moore has always wanted to play with Stockton’s Wing and he fulfils this ambition with a performance of ‘Saint Patrick Was A Gentleman’.
It’s a song about Saint Patrick who we all know was a Cork man.
This episode of ‘Christy Moore and Friends’ was broadcast on 3 April 1980.
This series ‘Christy Moore and Friends’ was broadcast in six parts from 6 March 1980 featuring several singers and musicians from the Irish folk scene.

The original Stockton’s Wing line-up with Tommy Hayes and Tony Callinan - brilliant.

Patrick was a Roman Catholic from Britain, his father was a Roman deacon and tax collector. Ireland had it's own form of Christianity prior to Patrick which was brought here in Coptic form via the Mediterranean trade routes. This monastic form of Christianity was in harmony with the Brehon Laws and the complete opposite of the centralised hegemonic power of Rome.
Pope Adrian IV sent King Henry II to conquer Ireland. The enemy is within, if the Mother & Baby Homes didn't open your eyes, nothing will.
Relax there Fionán. It's a song not a historical tome.
Deep man.
All that might be true but why let the truth get in the way of a good story or a great song?
Aye , Fiona , you failed to mention he was a Welshman, a Celtic brother non the less, no pun intended haha.
The Church was the absolute backbone of Irish cultural and political resistance to British rule for 800 years. The guardian of the Irish language, of Gaelic identity. The entire range of modern scandals (committed by a minuscule percentage of clergy and nuns) does nothing to diminish the fierce loyalty the Irish Church demonstrated toward the Irish nation. If it hadn’t been for that perseverance virtually all of Irish identity would’ve been murdered out of Ireland by the British, who at the height of the Famine even tried to convert the already starving Irish with bribes of food. Irish priests were hugely active in not only the political struggle but also gave moral and practical support to the armed campaign in the modern era.
Good Moorefield man
Jaysus Christy looks rough in that thumbnail
On the gargle
hyup the lads
M'on t'fuck that's the tune for adam smith
Hup!
Who’s the bodhran player
Fuck that's rare video 🤣
He was not a cork man
He came from decent English people , taken to Ireland as a slave
There was no such country or society as “England” for almost all of Patrick’s entire life. The very term “England” means the Land of the Angles- people who turned up in the 5th century AD who would’ve been completely unknown to Patrick and whom he would’ve considered vicious invaders. The entire modern concept of England would’ve been entirely foreign to him. His life was among Celtic British and late-Roman culture. And no, “British” in that context has no relationship with the modern people called Britons.
He was Welsh
@@glynthomas7213 If he ever existed.. Anyhow fair dues...The Guinness Corporation says it's true..so it must be true.......
"I dreamt a dream the other night
I couldn't sleep a wink
The rats were trying to count the sheep
And I was off the drink" 🇮🇪
@Peacelily st Patrick was from England , is that clear enough ?
Oh and yes he was a slave, research it , but you probably won't, because you prefer your story rather than the facts , care to reply to my elaborate response ?
