Greetings from Phladelphia … I miss Carraroe too … go raibh maith agat. I was happy to read a while ago that Philadelphia Quakers sent a lot of relief to Ireland during the great famine (by a lot I mean, relative to their numbers … the need for relief was so huge it was only a drop in the bucket in the big picture, I suppose). They say the Irish Quakers also did a lot of good during the famine, and nobody ever said they were helping others because they wanted to convert Catholics to their faith. This city was once a great place, full of good people, and it has welcomed many waves of immigrants. But it seems like these days everything is just going to hell everywhere on the planet and there’s hardly any good will left. This song reminds me of quieter times.
Why is this man not more famous he's a lot better singer than most singer I hear on tv great voice could listen to him all the time I never new about him until my daughters got me a tablet ant I started looking up utube
John Beag .... You are a very special and amazing singer !!!! Why are you not on the Late Late Show ..... ???? You should be a big Star !!!!! I love your voice !!!!! and that song 🎵 woo .... Great lyrics .... !!!!!! James O Connor.
Would someone tell our young players to listen to men like this with a good voice/ line and rhythm ...nice and simple but authentic and full of the best of trad atmosphere !
All Irish and Scottish men and women who are singing on TH-cam posts are excellent singers with fine voices! Every one of 'em. Is this the norm in those countries? Whether it is or is not, I sure hope they keep showing up here for us all to hear. Thank you LimerickLad25.
This singer has the most amazing singing voice. I could listen to this song all day and never get tired listening to it. My thanks to LimerickLad25 for sharing this beautiful song with all the world. 5 *****++++++++
@jimmygayable thanks for the comment jimmy, yeah a great singer and song., while we have singers like this in the world the pleausre of listening to music will never fade.

@MockingTrout well i know it hasn't been put on the web for purchase at this stage. I was lucky enough to get it sent over to me from some friends in Rosmúc who got a copy of it when it was launched a few months back. There is a shop in Galway that has them, if I find out any more info I will let you know.
@MartinCon100 The pity is that this man is not fully appreciated ...beautiful passionate natural sound and melody combined with lovely onamentation ..great intonation and phrasing .....are these being lost from the tradition ??
@grmck1 .....and just as I was about to order it - didnt I hear on RTE that all their shops (Zhivago)was in receivership mind you, I couldnt see it listed on their website.......I will have to keep searching!!!!
Hello: I am hoping you can help me. I am looking for the Song of the Nazarene, and they play it alot on Midwest. I think John sings it--can anyone tell me if he does, or where I can get a copy of the song? I'd love if I could find it somewhere online to listen to. Thanks for your help!!! Slan, Andrea

Is deas an rud poitín sa tír seo, d’íocfadh sé cíos is poor law,
Ó, leigheasfadh sé casacht na hoíche agus dhíreodh sé an seanduine cam,
Ó, bhí seanbheainín thiar i mbun Inbhir, ní raibh aici ach aon chaoirín amháin,
Ní raibh gráinne tobac ina píopa ach sop sáite aníos thrína lár.
Tá físeán ag youtube déanta le Eamonn MacDonncha, ach ní fhaca mise aon taifeadadh de le John Beag.
