    Thankyou for this wonderful version of Your the Voice from a very proud Aussie with Irish roots I have always loved this song. John Farnham would be so proud of your performance. Well done. 👏👏👏

    What a wonderful tribute from an Irish choir to an English born Australian who put the Scottish bagpipes in his biggest hit. The most amazing part of all this is that if John were out the front with a microphone, he would drown them all out.

    Since last night, I can't escape listening to all versions of this universal song but of course Sir John Farnham's performances of this masterpiece is by far unparalleled.Listening from the Philippines.

    I lived in Holywood, Belfast for a bit in the late 90's during the Marching season, it was an eye-opener for a young Australian but I loved it and have a lot of time for the Irish - Hell my surname is McCarthy!

    My great grandfather is from Belfast Thomas Cairns and Margaret my great grand mother. I love music too. Im from NZ and Maori. My great grandad and wife lived in Antrium Ireland. One day I would love to visit that place before I die. No books in front of them no music sheets all natural singers eh thats us I got chucked out of music school 3 weeks after i started to learn to play piano and i had no piano at all in was built in my head. But i never failed assessments once. I got caught playing an opera piece witout music I picked the music up by ear listening to it each day played by one of the students next door to me. I took up modern pop but played her operatic stuff without realising her music piece stuck in my head so did all the other students pieces my brain was full of everyone music. lols. sorry music teacher, I reckon that come from my great grands from Ireland not forgetting my Maori trupadors. Bless yous

    I hope people understand the significance of the Belfast Community Choir singing this song. I’m sure when it was written the composers were surely speaking to the people of Belfast. Beautiful, great job! Thank you BCC from Australia.

    Spine tingling - bravo! I recall singing along to this with John Farnham at an Adelaide concert, & an end of year school performance of the song I organised with another teacher.
    Our two classes not only sang, with their art work as a backdrop, but some performed the chorus in Auslan, (Australian sign language). As a surprise, we’d managed to hire a local piper to play with us! Great memories of a great song.

    Kudos to the choir, musicians and choirmaster for a wonderful rendition. 👏👏👏
    This has become an unofficial Aussie anthem, most Australians know the words to this.
    The world is in a bit of mess right now, the words of chorus echoes what I am sure the majority of us feel. Good that this great song is being appreciated in Belfast. 🇮🇪 ♥️ 🇦🇺
