Absolutely. But did one of the customers actually take coin change for the bill while he was singing like that? How can you not just empty your pockets for such an entertainment.
Am watching the voice on tv, this man serves pints in his track suit and gives me more than all the tv shows put together. My family is Irish, every one of them would love this.

A great study in multi tasking. Takes orders for beer, pulls pints (correctly), takes in cash, puts it through the till, hands the punter his change. All the while singing serenely a song that is kind of sad yet comforting. Legend.
As a young American, I would consider it an honor to come across anyone singing such a beautiful song of this genre. Damn I wish my generation valued these kinds of traditions more

Born in Scotland to Irish parents 🏴 Proud of my Irish heritage 🇮🇪 This video takes me back. Used to love spending our 6 weeks holidays there, the freedom of the country side in the day and great nights In the pubs listening to great singers like that barman 💚🤍🧡. I wish I'd moved there when I was old enough and broght my family up there. Ill maybe retire there to be near my beloved parents now buried there 😪❤
Yeah the pubs are just like this here, but it's like anything, some nights the music is good, some nights the music is crap, and some nights there's no music at all. I know that the video makes it look idyllic, but believe me, although he does have an amazing singing voice, he probably only sings every once in a while. But do visit, we love Vikings :)
Just perfect timing and tonic for me when it pops up on my phone, reason being I've just put my faithful wee dog lottie to sleep on Monday 16th September and was in Dreamland thinking of her when this marvelous real man started singing. Absolutely astonishing. Thank you a million times ❤ only once before in an Irish pub in London a lone guy next to me just burst into song towards the barmaid , don't we all treasure people like this on our normally miserable planet 😊
This guy is great. Goes to show that there are a lot of great singers in our world. Probably more people sing well than not. They just aren’t famous, because they didn’t pursue a music career, or they just didn’t have the good luck to get noticed.
That’s where a lot of it comes from but also when people where poor it was there way way of socialising by visiting each others houses for songs and stories by the fire when that’s all they had
I’m Irish and I love my music , I’m a massive fan of blues music , originally people believed it came from slavery but the more they dig into the history , they believe it actually comes from folk music .which makes sense , to me anyway . Van Morrison also believes this theory .
Just after listening to Christy Moore on the 2 norries podcast and he reminded me of this gem of a video that we get the pleasure to listen to. One of my favourite songs ❤❤❤
Im irish. Grew up there.I now live in America. Shit like this was taken for granted. How I miss the good auld days.This was nothing unusual when I was a kid.Bought my first beer in a bar at 13 years of age.
I’m from Newfoundland and live on the other side of the country now. Our Irish roots make it the same back there, this makes me homesick. Don’t realize it until you leave
From England. Now in the USA... used to always go with my grandad to the pub on the Saturday afternoon when I was at least 6 and can remember feeling like one of the men drinking my shandy with my flat cap on. Music in the background and the ol boys talking "politics". It was taken so much for granted... now raising children with an American wife.... two every very very different cultures 😆
The first time I heard this song was when John sang it. I was mesmerised by his voice when I watched this video. To hear him sing this in person, the salon would be worth the trip to Ireland. Thank you John, for sharing this part of yourself with so many of us all over the world. 😊
One million, two hundred and seventy three thousand, six hundred and ninety four people have watched this fantastic rendition, to date, yet only 18 thousand people have liked it. I will never understand people.
Awww somebody give this man a prize ,, Fabulous song sung with an equally fabulous voice .. Love it , cheered up this blustery evening no end ... Hats 🎩 off to him .... Kudos to whoever is playing the banjo as well , brilliant...

Proud to be Irish. Ein wundervolles Beispiel - nicht allein die Stimme, die sparsame Instrumentierung oder das ausgeprägte bodyshaping des barman Mr. Horgan machen den Unterschied. Es ist die überlegene Ruhe in der parallelen Arbeitserledigung und der völlige Verzicht auf Allüren.
Koreans have been called the "Irish of the Orient" because of similar oppression by a neighboring power and they like the Irish love to drink, dance, sing, and fight, also very spiritual.
FlatlandMando Or a voice of a man who sings a lot. Even if you had a bad voice couple of years of training will give you a decent or even excellent voice.
The influence of this music in American bluegrass is striking. It’s one thing to know bluegrass has deep roots in Ireland, but to hear it so clearly sometimes is something else.
As a german fella Im dead serious Id pay 100 bucks for this lad to pour me a whisky while singing. Bless the irish and their beautiful music! 💚
Thank you! 😁much love right back to Germany 🇩🇪
I'm a German too,love the Irish music and culture😊
Er singt besser als viele bei DSDS, welche die aber auch noch weiter kommen.
il second that!!! Hell i wanna travel to wheres his bar is just to hear him sing
Wow so many people love our Irish culture 💚🇮🇪 So nice to hear 😊
I love the way he carries on serving whilst singing,,, class
It is Ireland after all, drinkers need their pint ASAP..
Yeah
Probably a matter of survival that he keep serving.
Ireland nothing new just Brilliant. I love being Irish ,, how do you explain been Irish. We need to help people to be Irish because it's great 👍
Absolutely. But did one of the customers actually take coin change for the bill while he was singing like that? How can you not just empty your pockets for such an entertainment.
This is so comforting. Imagine being in there after a hard day and listening to him sing.

A man walked into a bar. He said ouch, it was a iron bar!!!

Joyful sorrow is used by the Irish to sing great songs where others use it to complain, whine and moan.
Bright blue rose, one of my favourites ❤
This is what makes a pub a great pub.
For anyone wondering, the song is called Bright Blue rose
Thanks bud
Thank you.

And thats why I f*cking love this country🙆🏻
One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.
This pub is so wholesome, what a lovely song what a sense of community
His voice just melts your soul.

It's not really like this. Most Irish people hate foreigners, except if you are white. Country people hate everybody, so expect hostility.

The Bright Blue Rose
Jimmy MacCarthy
I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
Onto the banks of an urban morning
That hungers the first light, much much more
Than mountains ever do.
And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the ease of a dolphin
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed
For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone.
For all of you who must discover,
For all who seek to understand,
For having left the path of others
You find a very special hand.
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally.
For all of you who must discover
For all who seek to understand,
For having left the path of others
You find a very special hand.
And it is a holy thing
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally.
One bright blue rose outlives all those
Two thousand years and still it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally.
