Powerful Irish female vocalist. Thanks!
Yes stunning powerful
What a voice!
Look up Maura O'Connell singing 'Western Highway' too.
Maura O'Connell is one of the true greats
Sean O'Casey uses this song in his great play, THE PLOUGH AND THE STARS, changing the woman's name to Nora, one of the main characters. Beautiful.
Magnificent Thankyou CR from Western Australia 💚☘️🍀💚
Who would not want to live in a very fine and splendid old mansion like this and have your own house band so each morning for breakfast and also in the evening you could sit down and listen to the beautifully singing voice of Maura O’Connell and De Dannan this band of brilliant musicians playing their music for you and you relaxed after a hard day at the races, telling stories, laughing out loud and touring around the roads of Connemara stopping off to have a pint or two of the purest and collest Guinness in the anchent old pubs that money could buy. How I wish that I was still living in my old mansion of long ago but times have changed and I spent my legacy far too quickly and foolishly buying drinks, cigarettes lunch for everyone
Cheers)
@@jimmymcjimmyvich9052 Thank you and Cheers to you also
Not me...old mansions are impossible to heat and the plumbing rarely works...then you have to pay the band as they hardly working for nothing,
If you bought for everyone how come I got nothing 😏
@@alllovingcowherdboy4475 If you owner an old mansion, it would have large fireplaces, your home would be surrounded by tall trees, loads of free firewood. and lots of bands would love to play for free just a few drinks, some fine home cooked food and to be allowed to bring their family and friends along for the party. Well that the way if would plan it if God granted me ownership of a fine old mansion, I promise I would be nice to the Neighbours as long as they did not trespass on my land and did not steal apples from my orchard
So so moving this babe can really sing lol xx
She is a fully grown woman with a most brilliant voice
babe? It 2024, please stop it.
Should have stopped at "moving" mate but perhaps you can't help yourselves back there in the 1970's👎👎
Maura was 23 years of age when this recording was made...The darling girl from Clare and from Ennis to be precise.
Unreal
More of the series should be uploaded.
When modest dress was a womans wealth
There will be no pregnancys on that stage))
😅😅
What do you mean exactly Jimmy?
@@APG875 she's all buttoned up and they're buttoned in
She had a much nicer voice than Mary Black.
The both of them and Dolores Keane have voices in the upper stratosphere of artistic genius and impossible to truly compare to each other. It’s like trying to compare Monet, Degas and Van Gogh. They are all amazing!
