    Pure perfection...the soul beat of Ireland but total respect to Connaucht ,where God help them, suffered the worst of Crowellian plantations.. He sent them to Hell or Connaucht,God forgive him..but...today probably the most beautyful & exciting regions of Ireland..this song ,we all learned at school,but Lumire & Dempsey,raise it,in beautyful craft of simplicity to Sublime..utter beautyful & best rendition..poise,harmony, & bet,..delivered by Angels,great flute & Damien outstanding at his best...great music,unraralely heard...brings tears if mine & generations for those poor peoplein Connaucht..but..they created..another m8dern heaven..throught utter sacrufice

    Damo, your deep, rich voice sends a chill down the spine, and the respect you show to those who lost their lives is very moving. 😔

    We heard this song in Dingle, Ireland performed by Pauline Scanlon. It was just simply beautiful. Wish there was a recording of it by her. The only ones out there are garish drinking versions.

    As an Englishman living in the Philippines I performed this song at St Patrick's day last Saturday. I got my lead from the Wolftones but was looking to get more of a handle on the song. I came across this by accident. I was thinking 'the male singer needs a bit more 'edge' to his voice. Then I looked at the previous comments over the years..... oops. If you want to listen/watch the best male voice rendition of this song, look for Emmett Carhill on UA-cam.

      @@jondoe888i Don't want to get to get in argument really, but as an audio engineer and musician I would say that it was a few cents flat. It's a trivial thing and I know that recordings to the web are distorted by compression so i'll just watch the clip and enjoy it. best wishes

    My good man, surely you don't think ''yer man'' can sing. As for making faces, he's like someone that is constipated.
    Bur if you think he has a voice, you should consider a hearing test.
    This is my opinion, which I am entitled to post.

    • @fionacleary5603
      @fionacleary5603 4 роки тому +2

      Sure hun u do u but he makes this song more powerful u wouldn't want them two singing the whole thing it would just get boring after 30 secs. I think they do hearing tests at specsavers and might do half price for u cuz they feel bad :)
