Since 1962, The Dubliners have been enthralling audiences worldwide with their music and song. The strength and attractiveness of The Dubliners has always been in the personalities of the musicians who have made up this boisterous band of balladeers, from original members, Ronnie Drew, Barney McKenna, Luke Kelly, Ciarán Bourke, John Sheahan and Bob Lynch to the arrival at different stages of Jim McCann, Seán Cannon, Eamonn Campbell and finally the peerless Paddy Reilly.

Whos listening to this in 2024 :) i am.
Me too and homesick even been her in the US for 50 years
Im listening
me to 29/4/24/,,, yorrkshire granny eileen nee mckenna , love you dad patrick mckenna, back home sleeping your last
I have a hard time singing anything anymore... just miss the times I had with friends... only sing poems I memorized when I was young.
Me too, I am a fan of Irish music.
Kees. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I was born in England but my ancestors were Irish and left after the famine. I sang this song to a retirement community in Canberra Australia a couple of days ago and could not keep the tears back as I sang it. I noticed people in the audience also crying. It is such a sad song, and Paddy O’Reilly sings it so well. History contained some tragic situations. Let us hope that in this day and age we can all live in peace together. Unfortunately there is still so much tragedy and conflict in the world. May we all pray that this conflict is soon resolved.
🍀🍀🍀🍀
I understand
i am first generation Irish in America. Trust and believe in hope. We have come so far to let those who came before be disappointed in us. I trust God will take care of the haters in His time. Mary, daughter of Michael

My dear departed husband and I spent 51 years together but now he has gone to a better place. Yes it is lonely round the Fields of Athenry without him albeit I live in Kent. God bless him and God bless the Dubliners for making such beautiful music and singing it so soulfully. Thank you.
God bless you! I wish you all the best
Bless you❤
God bless u love this song
🇮🇪 Dear Karen, I’m sorry for your loss. I too live in Kent but I’m originally from Limerick. I’ve lived here now for over 42 years.
This beautiful but sad song brings all together , Australia , UK, I'm from Cappamore, Limerick, pat
My mum was at this concert and now remembering her singing and dancing.
RIP 😢 my beautiful ma 19.03.2020
🍀🙏🏽😘💞
Sorry for your lose dear❤
Love your music rip 🙏
ahh yes ... belongs to our 'NEVER FORGETTING',
A very nice memory to remember your Mum by.
I'm sorry your lost. God bless your mumy
I fell in love with an Irish girl while we listened to this song. She’s gone now but I will remember her until I die.
I'm Australian Aboriginal woman in my 60's but I love your music you sing from the heart. Sorry for all the shit that went down in your beloved homeland. Paddy has a lovely voice. Stay strong Ireland 🇮🇪. Australia 👍
You must listen to the Fureys they are fantastic
TH-cam is a wonderful thing. We see a Video of an Irish Folk Band. You in Australia and me in Germany.
Wrong flag 🤣 That's the Ivory Coast. Ireland's flag is: 🇮🇪
@@jeromejenkins865 again what learned 🐏🐑 greetings from Germany.
@@jeromejenkins865 Here I fixed the flag!! Have a nice day.
As an Irish-Australian, I see this as a love letter from the Irish to all Irish who had to leave for one reason or another. I believe it to be the anthem for all the world's Irish.
👍 from another of Irish-Oz descent, something I carry proudly although now living elsewhere
@@xxLINDZYYxx l live in NZ; it's been a generous and lovely home for 2 decades; just not the home of my heart. So, I, too, am probably homeward bound within a couple of years, perhaps with a long detour via beautiful Ireland.
You're Aussie or Irish you can't have it all
@@FUGGY1000 that claim seems like a denial of both countries' rich histories. And, certainly, it denies Ireland's cultural impact.
Hope you'd be happy to know thats exactly what it means, its in specific also about an irish convict sent to australia for stealing food for his children under British rule during The Great Famine, and therefore can also be related to all who had to leave because of the colonial rule.
Happy St. Paddy's Day 2024! 🇮🇪 🍺 ☘🍀🌈
I'm an American of Irish decent. We Irish are as the "wild geese" flown to many continents and countries. Whether you are Catholic or Protestant, you are my brother. I am 74 years of age, in the twilight of life, I wish that no Irishman ever raise his hand to another Irish man......EVER again! Never forget, we are one people, American, Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, Tasmania, Ireland North and South, we are IRISH!
Too right we are the same under the same roof
I have Australian - convict ancestry -so this song is so exquisitely sad & beautiful.😇💗
Well said and we are proud
The SCOTS WERE. PERSERCUTED BY THE english dont forget that. Thats why we need OUR COUNTRY BACK AND FREE. 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Well said lovely fella, from Wales. United Kingdom. My beloved late Father was a born & bred, Irish Man, Catholic. We are all brothers & sisters, together, no matter what colour, creed or nationality.
As a Northern Irish man I love this music. I look deeper into this song and truly wish that everyone, not only on this island but beyond, that everyone can live as one, to live as human beings and love and respect every culture, race and creed. For our daughters and sons to follow to live with love and respect is all we can ever hope. I hope in my life time I shall see this happen.
couldn't agree more, all the best fella!
Yes we can man....! I believe in God as you do...I am Catholic, but I still respect and honor you and your religion...together we will achieve a better island....!
My regards and respect to you from Australia
@@mattdavis3741 thank you and take care
@@sherp2u1 thank you and respect back to you 👍
One of the most moving and beautiful Irish songs ever written.
Irish or general. Whoever is not Irish when listening to this song is past hope.
This song stands equal 1st place to Grace. Two beautiful songs that tell the story of struggle and of love
One of the sadest songs ever written .
whats sad about, sentimental rubbish@@erinloo8921
I sing it most Sundays in my local,great song always goes down well!.
My grandfather lived for this music.
The more of the Dubliners dying, the more I lose my grandfather.
R.I.P. Grandpa
Everytime you listen to the Dubliners your Grandpa will be with you. I bet he and the others who passed over to Tír na nÓg are awaiting their fellows with a pint and a fiddle. :)
My condolences friend.
@@belorianuskane1952 Ooh thanks so much for your comment ❤❤
Thats really lovely.He must have been a very special person.

You. Keep his memories alive in you it in the Dubliners bit I know what you mean by that though it's like your link to the memories alive in the music
Sad to think many of these great musicians are gone/retired now. Much love to the people in Ireland from Estonia.
....gone but not forgotten. So lange Menschen die Musik der Dubliners hören, bleiben sie in Erinnerung ☘️
No no these folks aren't truly gone especially dead! No- they're called back to - from whence they cometh! God - You'll" here the word& sounds of Heaven thru the very poor; oppressed folk/ honestly -- Paul Kevin. Wouldn't ever lie! Be glad to rest/ " what soap is to the body tears are to the Soul..."🕊🌹💚🚣☝
Much love to the Dubliners from South Korea 🇰🇷 ❤
Gone never !sure paddy reilly only lives down the road? Tiocfaidh ar la
Death is the last thing from sad.
Paddy Reillys voice is unbelievable 🥇
When I hear the expression "golden voice", his immediately comes to mind
I would add Powerful too. His voice is perfect for this song, his song that he made famous.
@@johnoconnor4623 Absolutely.
Ya his voice is awesome No1 could sing this song better he's miles ahead
Impossible not to stop and listen.
PADDY REILLY HAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICES ON THE PLANET !!! After a surgery in2007 I no longer can sing, was never great but sure miss it ! So thankful Paddy is able to sing in my place !! GOD BLESS IRELAD !!!!!
I lost my dad 15th of February and this was mine and his song I will forever cherish this song❤️
I lost my dad last year, this was also mine and his song ❤
I lost my wonderful dad almost 15 years ago. Remember any man can be a father- the special ones became a DAD ! I feel your loss my friend !
I'm an Irish man who couldn't swim (Welsh) the Dubliners often make what's left of my hair stand up. Thank you, Paddy, Luke, Ronnie, Sean and all of you for the enjoyment that you have brought me over the years.
Whatdo you mean welsh
@@claireryan2641 because Welsh are Celtic who made it to Britain, but never made it to Ireland. The Scottish on the other hand are Irish who could swim, but they swam back.
Lol. In Australia we call South Australians "Tasmanians who could swim". It's nice to see the term has an origin in the old country.
Against the corrupt system, BEAUTY！！！！. A brother from Spain greets our great cousins THE IRISH. Freedom and love for all of us.
yesss
Immaculate Heart of Mary, be our refuge and the way that will lead us to God. Amen.
Ambrose McLaren there are no gods....just great music
Don't worry about it pasquel
They just came on and took over our land and killed families and took everything......he wasnt stealing he was taking his own
Much love from a plastic paddy from Queens, NYC. This reminds me of my grandfather's funeral. My family was singing it at my grandparents house after the service. I'll never forget my Grandmother, the strongest and most beautiful person I ever met, crying on the steps by herself. I went up to comfort her... miss you Grandma
Really feel that wonderful deep family connection…what a gift to treasure.
Aw so sad 😪🏴
You aren't a plastic paddy. You are Irish to the core.
@@jeromeconvery267 tell all my cousins in Ireland that lol
Mine and mum favourite song this was her favourite she has passed away this will always be her favourite song
I’m a Jamaican but as a Jamaican I love Irish and Scottish no one can beat their music
Go into a any pub in the 80s English in one corner Irish and Jamaican in the other xx
Dinnae forget the Jocks fighting each other in the corner
Fair play to you xxx
I was trying to think of a Jamaican song but nothing came to mind. Is there any well-known Jamaican song?
@@johnoconnor4623 why is this important ??
Am here because we just lost to Ireland in the group stages of the Rugby World Cup. Irish fans belted this tune at the stadium and had to search it out. Hope we meet again in the finals 😊

I am Scottish. If I had to be anything else it would be Irish. I love everything about Ireland. The scenery,people music. Long live Ireland
If your western Scottish from Ayrshire to Glasgow your probably Irish anyway.
I am from Glasgow.
To all our celtic brothers and sisters Scottish it doesn't matter what side of the little strip of water we all have blood mixed for Irish and Scottish King's had the son's and daughters marry so alliances stayed strong from Brian Boru to Robert the Bruce long before
I feel the same. I'm English but my Mums maiden name was Griffin which I'm told is a Kerry name ... so I can but hope.
I am a born Scot and Scottish I am but my ancestry is Irish I’m proud of it !!

A privilege I wish I had!
We're..I would love to listen to them in a pub atmosphere
Paddy Reilly has a superb voice!
This is the way most irish people are, great respect from Brittany!
Love that song
Nobody sings this song better than Paddy Reilly.
As a Turkish man living in Estonia, I’ve been listening The Dubliners and Irish music since I was a kid. “Fields of Athenry” and “Leaving of Liverpool” are my fav’s. Love the peeps and the music.. Greetings to Ireland!
I’m Armenian/Russian-Irish, and though Armenians have had tough history with Turkey, I long to see the day where we can live in peace again. ♥️
@@waduhek3988 it’s just dumb ass politicians that are tearing people apart. we are all the same. huge respect to you my friend 🤝

Try listening to a piece called 'Sister Marcella', you would probably like it.
Rest in Peace Pete St. John! Man who wrote perhaps the greatest songs in the unmatched history of Irish music.
IT'S MAGICAL WHEN THE AUDIENCE JOIN IN.
I wish I knew the words that the people add as a response in the chorus. I want to sing with them. I love Ireland and it’s people. I’m proud to have Irish and Scottish roots. 💚💚💚

If you appreciate audience participation you’d enjoy a home game at Celtic Park, it doesn’t get much better than 50k + fans singing either ‘the fields of Athenry’ or ‘Grace’.

I live in the Netherlands, and everytime i hear this song, tears are coming.
I can't get enough hearing this music, specially this version with Paddy Rilley's voice! My irish blood always sings and weeps along with The Dubliners!!

Ireland is a beautiful country if you get the chance go to see it id had my childhood there loved every day
Me too, I grew up on these songs in England but am lucky as the Dubliners still come with their beautiful voices and songs and will see them again in my local theatre in a couple of months time..
Ich liebe diese wunderbare Stimme, diese Atmosphäre und diese Hymne..Und die UNSTERBLICHEN Dubliners. VIELEN, VIELEN DANK
Although I am English.... I was once incarcerated, I love the Irish and can really relate to this song...😊

I love Irish music, it’s quality!
I am Italian and I lived in Dublin for four years. I live in Norway now ( moved here for love) and I miss it every day. Love Irish music and this is one of my favorite Irish songs.
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
"Michael, they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyan's corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay"
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the crown
I rebelled, they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity"
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she lived in hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
Thanks! Greatings from Chile... Y love irish music very much!

If Paddy sang the phone book, I'd listen!!
There is only one better version than Paddy Reilly, when Irish fans sing this song, then the whole stadium
"Freezes" listening to Irish fans. From Romania with a lot of respect for the Irish people
The yellow pages Bail Bondsmen would fit well.

RIP Pete St John. Your song will live throughout the ages!
People of Ireland your folk musik caresses the soul.
I am just listening to this, and I appreciate your candor. I appreciate it too! I'm of Irish decent, hail from Texas and now live in Minnesota (for 30 plus years).! Very sweet. I love all kinds of music, but these kinds really do get me going. I especially appreciate it on the weekends.
Gwych yn wir. The best!
Yn eithriadol o dda!
From a Taff, a lovely poignant song.
I 'm English with some Irish ancestry and I love the song, love Ireland, love the Irish. X
I'm an O'Sullivan from Hawaii, this song touches me on a genetic level. Amazing
My dad was from Donegal, I so wish he was still hear to listen to this. He had the most incredible singing voice. I'm sure he's singing along up in heaven
@ sylvia you can be sure your father is happy. May he R.I.P. Happy St.Patricks Day. Nr. Ireland.🙏🙏💚
Thank you for your kind words, he'll be happy as long as he's with my mum. They died 41 years apart and one day. Mum on 1st December and dad on 2nd

You can kick the Irish out of Ireland but you can’t kick Ireland out of the Irish ☘️
Amen to that. Our diaspora is spread across the world but the Irish heart beats in all of us.
So am I. Have family in Eire. Australia gave you 50 years. I shake my head. .
And we 😘 U 2
So too am I An Aussie 🇦🇺 of Irish descent. This song makes me cry. Some of my ancestors were sent out here as convicts, others coming out as very young people hoping for a better life. I am 84% Irish ☘️ even have the red hair 👩🦰 to prove it. Loved Ireland 🇮🇪 when I visited
Thank you for this beautiful song 😊
The story contained in this song is heartbreaking. The music brings a power to the words - it is ultimately beyond the ability of words to describe. This is an excellent version.
Bless you, father for noticing this song, it has so much to say about the present as the past.
welcome to Irish music lol!
@@emeraldmay9351 I am sorry for my country did to Ireland unfortunately we only stopped attacking you in the 90s and we still occupy the north sadly. My grandfather is a catholic from Ballachy in the north I hope he gets to see complete Irish freedom before he goes to heaven.
What is really going on?
===================
Covid is the SARS-CoV-2 Virus
But the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been purified AND isolated AND genome sequenced end-to-end anywhere in the world.
Pointless having a Test Swab as there is nothing to compare the test result too.
PCR Test cannot identify a Virus.
All PCR test results are invalid.
Lateral Flow Antigen Test cannot identify a Virus.
All Lateral Flow Antigen Test results are invalid.
The only way to identify an individual Virus is a Spectroscopy Test.
However as the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been isolated anywhere in the world there is nothing to compare the Swab Test sample too.
Thus pointless having a Spectroscopy Test.
Conclusion -- There is no SARS-CoV-2 airborne Virus.
Face Mask Contaminated?
Toxic Ethanol Hand Gel
Test Swab Contaminated?
Injection Contaminated?
Plandemic -- Project Fear
World Economic Forum -- Great Reset
"You will own nothing and be happy"
Agenda 21 -- Depopulation
---
Injection has a patent on it.
Injection is a Protein Bioweapon?
---
Face Mask -- Side Effects
Respiratory Acidosis
Hypoxia
Hypercapnia
Blood Clots
Aorta Bacterial Staph Infections
Pleurisy
Emphysema
Bronchitis
The list goes on.................
Bacterial Pneumonia is the outcome of wearing a Face Mask.
Patients are being admitted to hospital with Pneumonia not Covid.
Face Mask Contaminated with Graphene Oxide?
---
Bio-Safety Level 4 Hazmat Suit -- Positive Pressure
This will stop an Airborne Virus
Face Mask will not stop an Airborne Virus -- Consult Manufacturers Instructions.
-----
Injection Side Effects
Pathogenic Priming
Anti-Body Dependent Enhancement
Paradoxical Immune Enhancement
Acquired Cellular Induration Syndrome
Cytokine Storm
---
Google Image Cows Nasal Vaccine
Vaccinate cows with a Swab and/or a Nasal Spray
Test Swab is covert Nasal Vaccination?
----
Pointless having a Test Swab for the SARS-CoV-2 Virus that has not been isolated anywhere in the world.
Test Swab and Injection contain the Bio-agent.
Bio-agent is a protein that will change the DNA of every person Test Swabbed and/or Injected.
People must wake up to what the real agenda is with the airborne Virus that has not been isolated anywhere in the world!
=====
=====
Transhumanism -- Neural Lace
This will be the outcome of the Plandemic.
Sheeple must open their eyes.
World Economic Forum -- Great Reset
"You will own nothing and be happy"
Agenda 21 -- Depopulation
-------
-------
Face Mask Contaminated -- Graphene
5G signal can activate the Graphene and shred your lungs from within.
Face Mask is filling peoples lungs with Graphene.
5G is a Dual Communication Network and Weapon System.
5G signal can be focused on a defined area called Beam Forming for example the brain and/or the lungs where the Graphene will accumulate within the body.
Thus Graphene on the Test Swab and in the Injection and the Contaminated Face Mask enters the body either the brain and/or the lungs and can be activated by the 5G signal at any time.
Tragically activating the Graphene left inside the body will kill the person.
Is this all part of the Depopulation plan?
-------
-------
Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon.
Cannot provide the exact details of what it is or my comment will be auto-deleted.
Primer and Catalyst.
Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon on the Test Swab and in the Injection is the Primer.
Spike Protein in the Common Cold Virus is the Catalyst threat will activate the Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon.
Nasal Spray Contaminated With The Common Cold?
The Common Cold is one of the group of approximately 55 Coronaviruses.
When people catch the Common Cold over the autumn and winter 2021-2022 Cytokine Storm death within 28 days.
We are in the calm before the storm.
Prepare for the storm.

This was played at mother's funeral. Miss her so much
I was born in Scotland after the Second World War. My mum and dad met through family friends after the war. My Dad joined the navy when he was sixteen … he wanted “ to,see the world” and of course he did, but then he found himself in this war. My Mum also joined the women’s movement that covered nurses etc. They met a year after the war, married and had me in 1948 in Glasgow, Scotland. At three years of age my Mum and I arrived in Melbourne Victoria Australia. Dad had arrived in Australia a year before to find a job and accommodation for his wee family. I was totally lost. My Grandmother had virtually bought me up with quite a lot of four uncles and two aunties. I have never wavered in my warmth and love for the Scottish and Irish people. Whilst I was young at the time, photos/happiness and the warmth of respective affection was always there. My husband and I toured Scotland and went onto Ireland. My Dad begged me not to go because of the unrest between the north and south. We arrived in Northern Ireland on the day of the truse. Wow it was unbelievable. We ventured on and travelled thru northern and Southern Ireland. Unbelievable how lucky were we and experience such history and also to meet with and befriend so many beautiful landscape and meet its people …. North and south. My deep affection … and of my Scottish accent that seems to erupt every now and then….. has warmed me to both the Scottish and the Irish. Our personalities are so similar .. live, love and be happy. That’s my motto. . Maureen Elizabeth. Short, Australia
Totally. Beautifull
Irland's songs is a cultural heritage for the whole world. Incredible for such small country, also when Norhern-Irland is inclued
My grandfather was from County Carlow, but he was orphaned fairly young and grew up with family in Liverpool, but he never lost that soft as rain accent.
My late father was Irish, do I have a connection to the emerald isle. I love this song
I love the irish and the music of these great people !!

First time i heard this song in 2016 on football stadium in France. Sadness and power in one melody, tragedy and hope. Soul of Irish people👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was staying in Scotland many years ago. The Dubliners were appearing at the local theatre and I went along. One Englishman amongst a sea of Scots and Irish....it was a magic evening and after all these years I still remember the quality and passion of their performance.
Can’t help it when the tears come flowing takes me back to my childhood not care in the world running free on the rocks in Portstewart fishing net in hand 😢
Loved hearing that. It made me cry again. My husband who is so ill and I so loved that ballad in days gone by.
how nice 🥰
Sending you love and STRENGTH from IRELAND 🍀x

When I was in high school, my nickname was “Dropkick”. Because I always wore this Dropkick Murphys t-shirt. It had the lyrics “Low lie the fields of Athenry. Where once we watched the small free birds fly. Etc.” I used to shrug it off. Then I got in touch with my ancestry and realized I’m 30% Irish. I always feel like nothing really fits me or understands me. Then I listen to this and I’m home.
Thank you for your sweet thoughts. I did actually go to Limerick (where Sir Terry Wogan (RIP) originated I believe). Stayed at Shannon for a while whilst a friend went to his Mother's funeral. He was champion of Irish dancing. Shannon and surrounding area such a beautiful place. Leaving Kent for Essex soon. So lonely around the Fields of Athenry or anywhere without Patrick. At least I am free thank God for that. God bless and thank you.
Sent to all my Irish friends from Vancouver,Canada.
My favorite Irish song of so many beautiful Irish songs. Born in Belfast 76 yrs. ago.
@@robbiewright9145 …really I didn’t think it was Robbie.
Lived in Ireland for five years and I will always have the feeling that I didn´t get enough. The culture, the love for the motherland, songs... I saw a feeling of patriotism, not in the fanatical way, but of being proud of what you are and where you are from. I wish I could live there again in the future. Long live Ireland.
Gorgeous music! Lovely people!
This is an incredible comment, Javier! I love (and second) every intentional word you've written here. Thank you.
this song is what my dad sung to us our family brought up in preston Lancashire . it meant so much to my dad the words and to us because the words were epic on a big scale if your dad loved the song 🎵 ❤ ♥ 💕 Xxxx
To a time where there was nobody recording for their social media, just truly appreciating this special moment. Shivers.
As a young kid my papa and friends would head up north of scotland in the old campervan loaded with guitars ect to pubs the often played in and a can defo say they where the best days and this song reminds me of they days as my papa sang it so well and if you ever seen the amount of pints in the table after words says it all really but vision and song will live with me forever ❤ 💙 💜
I used to love watching my friends dad perform this in his band, Donnybrook fair. Shout out to Joe McMahon.
My name is Gary from southern Ontario, CANADA. I am proud to say I have some Irish blood. More proud to say I have listened to the best!..... Dubliners! . Thanks a lot!
Hi Gary, Thanks for watching. Glad the hear you enjoyed The Dubliners. Greetings to Canada.
Just hope that before I die I can visit the old country of my ancestors just once... Beautiful country, beautiful people
Friend, that is my dream also. To climb Croagh Patrick, kneel at the Mass Rock and at the site of the so silent visit of Our Lady of Knock.
Go to Dublin to Burdocks for fish and chips. Find some buttered eggs at a farmer's market. God loves the Irish people. He sent St Patrick to plant the faith so deep in the hearts of the people that 700 years of brutal persecution could not shake them.
Long live Ireland!
@@ambrosemclaren145 Have been to Croagh Patrick, didn't get to walk up too much unfortunately. Was lovely though 🏴
@@ambrosemclaren145 never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Come back and visit the beautiful Shrine at Knock. God Bless. Nr. Ireland.
Great music Dubliners love singing to this song even though my husband and I are English we love the Irish music.Welcombe radio,Stratford on Avon.
The most beautiful song you could ever hear 🍀
I live in the North West of England, my grandfather came from the west of Ireland, My farther was a very proud Scott so i have a lot of Celt in me and I sing this song as my party piece. HAIL HAIL
I'm not even Irish...yet it shed tears every time I played it
Love all these Irish songs make me proud to be Irish ☘️
Happy St Patrick's Day ...a tune close to my heart
What a fabulous. Singer---what a singer!!!
Beautiful song and a great singer Anyone out there remember the embankment old days that was the heart of the paddy at
Days keep singing
I'm Dutch, which Is very Germanic. Ethnically we are Frisian, which is closely related to English, but I feel more Irish. From Holland with love.
Total rubbish. 'English' is not an ethnicity. You can feel however you want.
you can’t feel an ethnicity lmfao
I'm a Brit, Irish Grandfather, and love this music stirring my soul, even more is when watching "The Quiet Man" Maureen o'hara, Victor mc glagen, Patrick the driver, beautiful, priceless heart wrenching people miss in educating youngsters these days
Ray O'Donnell. Love life and live it. Xxxx
God bleed you my Dutch friend
Can't listen to this without tears coming up... I'm not Irish, Belgian instead... But the emotion is so intense...
I am Scottish brought up in London, never forget my heritage, this song is my party piece. As all celts know you have to have a song for a family get together, love this
A fan since they started. I don't think my so called friends that came to my 16th birthday were as impressed with my choice of music but that was their loss. This song just made me cry, beautiful.
How can anyone give this a downvote?But what do I know? I'm a Norwegian who love Irish folk music 🙄🤗🇧🇻
I love this song - have been singing this in public - many times - years ago.
Lovely song that touches anyone with a decent heart
Born in Yorkshire (UK)1952. Lived in Australia for the past 48 years. Came across this guy a few weeks ago. Best voice I've ever heard. Listened to his earlier songs but I reckon his voice got better with age. I know he's a legend in Ireland but he also is in my opinion. Love the Irish music.
This drives home just how hard life was then. This and the book White Cargo really give a feel for what was happening. Padraig O'Kelly used to sing this at local sessions and it always hit me right in the heart.
I love this version better than any other. I think it’s the “old Irish man” voice. A voice I myself will have someday
Completely agree. As a Scotsman I can only say how proud I am to have Irish heritage. What a beautiful country filled with incredibly brave people. I love you Ireland.
I cannot help but cry when I hear this beautiful song.
My most lovely song!
We had dreams and songs to sing!
