I'm a country music artist from Australia. I stumbled onto this Irish fellow and I'm just amazed. How simplistic his music but how beautiful. I am now playing his songs. Thankyou Johnny McEvoy.
So my aussie friend..open up a spot in your creative soul...and write a song based on this format..as many have..and write an aussie song about yer wonderfully conquered by Chinese communist demons, likeAnderson and so many others.
Johnny - my husband, Brendan Loonam was from Banagher and loved this song very much. He passed in Janaury 2019 but he admired you and your work-- and I still listen to this song feeling very close to him when I do-- thank you.
This is one brilliant song. The fear for Irish folk music is no one is now singing these ballads. Young singers are good but the feelings are leaving from their interpretation of the songs. Johnny is the king of story telling through song. Old school irish folk singer.
Johnny! this beautiful song can only be understood by those who have had to leave their country, their birthplaces, among them I am one, my heart is always where you grew up, I listen and a tear appears on my cheek :)
Johnny, for me no one can sing a ballad like you, we met one night in the Skerry Inn , you had just recorded Carrickfergus, I had a boat there and we planned to go out and record video but next day weather came bad so we never got out , but I always remember us sharing a drink together it might have been long ago but I remember as if it were yesterday Take Care Tom
My sister introduced me to Johnny mc envoys music as a young lad and to this beautiful song.It relates to all the diaspora like myself.Thank you Johnny mc envoy
@@johnnymcevoymusic I remember as a young boy i think you sang a war song i only know a few words to fight the dirty King of Spain please can you reply to me Johnny
Johnny McEvoy - this is Ireland, and Ireland - this is Johnny McEvoy. For almost half a century your songs have been an important part of my life - thanks a lot for always being around me, somehow ...
Johnny, I have a lot of similar memories as yours with this beautiful song, it must be about the same time and age as myself. Your great Johnny, thank you.
i saw this on Michael English's Sky TV Show today. Such a beautiful and moving song. Great tribute to your brother. It was such an honor meeting you on Phil Coulter's Tranquility Cruise a few years back. Thank you for the beautiful music.
Airforce brat..never had a hometown...ever...70yr old itinerant mendicant...love hometowns i missed...alberta..never had a legitimate federal vote..ever....Jesus..save us..
I weep...as I was an airforce brat..moved 7 times by 13yrs old...69yrs now...and have moved 23 times as a luthier, music teacher and performer...a true Catholic mendicant..turned away from being a priest by my Church twice...and today my Church is a cesspool..thankyou JESUS....I have no home town...just my Catholic faith..preVatican2...thankyou.
