The father of modern celtic music interpretation, at least on rythmic guitar. Long live his music and memory! Not only whith the Bothy Band but with Nightnoise he was a great pioneer! Michael, thanks!
Every line, every word, every tone, every syllable that comes out of this man's mouth always makes me think one thing, over and over again: here's an angel on Earth, if there ever was one.
The first time I ever heard this song was in the wonderful summer of 1976. The weather was brilliant all through. Michael O Domhnaill is now sadly departed but I hear this song regularly in my mind and on the Bothy Band album Old Hag You Have Killed Me. Michael O Domhnaill was a unique musician.
This song was the first real Celtic folk music I ever heard. Garrison Keillor used to play it often on his morning radio show at the University of Minnesota, years before the world had ever heard of Lake Wobegon. He would pronounce the title with something like reverence -- this was Minneapolis, remember, where Summer never seems to come. And it struck such a deep, aching chord with me. Wonderful music, unforgettable group.
Very beautiful, soulful and exquisitely executed as always. Michael's performances always feel meaningful, he had a lovely voice and was a superb musician. A sad loss.
The Bothies have long been my favorite Irish band. All others pale in comparison. I had no idea that any video existed of their performances. Thank you so much for this!
Very typical voice and nice interpretation ! Micheal played with another excellent group "Relativity" : accordionist Phil Cunningham and his brother Johnny, who plays fiddle - both from the band Silly Wizard - as well as the keyboardist-singer Triona Ni Dhomhnaill and her brother, the guitarist-singer Micheal O'Domhnaill, who were with the Bothy Band.

Bothyband was one of my first introductions to Celtic music. They were such a seminal band. All of their members became the roots of much great music to come. It's the day after Christmas 2010 and I just discovered you passed away from an accidental fall at his home in 2006. We miss you Micheal.

His student and friend Breton guitar master Saoig Siberil told me about him a bit.
Very kind, loved to play golf.
Micheal and his sisters are pure gifts from Nature.
RIP Micheal, a sad and premature loss to World Music.
Pure gifts from God* from the heavens.
Out of anyone in the modern Irish trad revival movement, I think I have the most respect for this man. RIP Mícheál Ó Domhnaill
The guitar and his thin, slightly quavering, vulnerable Irish tenor is completely mesmerising.

Need to watch this at least once a week or I'm not right.
I know what you mean haunting isn't it' oh god rest him
Backpacking in Ireland. And from my backpack this sound: on and on and on. The last 30 years didn't stop listening to this. Perfect!
How dare four people not like this. Shame on them.
wudangblacklotus hold on you cannot demand that of anyone,
I think their fingers must have slipped. They really mean t to hit the like button.
RIP Michael. Fué un placer escuchar en directo esta maravillosa canción. Gracias.
This is one of the most special music of my entire life. Makes me fly over the irish mountains and miss my old past life in ireland.

The chords in this are both ethereally beautiful and the devil to work out!
What a piece of music!!
Without doubt one of the best versions of this tune there is. Listening on the eve of Beltane 2020.
Very beautiful, soulful and exquisitely executed as always. Michael's performances always feel meaningful, he had a lovely voice and was a superb musician. A sad loss.
this is pure beauty.
Always been very fond of his singing, what a voice, what a talent... RIP Micheál...

The Bothies were also 1 of my favourites, "Do you love an apple" is another song I'll always remember!
Liricí / lyrics
Tiocfaidh an samhradh
Agus fásfaidh an féar
Tiocfaidh an duilliúr ghlas
Ar bharr na gcraobh
Tiocfaidh mo rúinsearc
Le bánú an lae
Agus buailfidh sí túin suas
Le cumha 'mo dhiaidh
Scairt mé aréir
Ag an doras thall
Scairt mé aríst
An raibh mo rún le fáil
Dúirt a daidí liom
Nach raibh sí ann
Nó gur éaluigh sí aréir
Leis an buachaill donn
Brón ar an fharraige
Mar is sí atá mór
'Sí atá ag dul idir mé
Is mo mhíle stór
Siúlfaidh mé na bailte seo
Agus siúlfaidh mé na róid
Agus dheamhan bean a phósfas mé
No go dtéim faoi fhód
Tiocfaidh an samhradh
Agus fásfaidh an féar
Tiocfaidh an duilliúr ghlas
Ar bharr na gcraobh
Tiocfaidh mo rúinsearc
Le bánú an lae
Agus buailfidh sí túin suas
Le cumha 'mo dhiaidh
Thank you so much for posting the lyrics!

Someone somewhere must have a decent quality video of this without the compression artifacts. I love it so much more than the album version.
