On the streets of Galway, my Minnesotan wife was first introduced to Irish Coffee. She has become a huge fan and we have even learned how to make it at home
The singing reminds me of the my father who used to break out in a song at every family event. Family weddings with my father and uncles used to be fabulous
Love Dave Grohl. Greatest moment of my life (other than getting married and witnessing the birth of my children) was attending a Foofighters concert. Dave was singing one of his unplugged songs, finished the song, ran up a ramp handing off his acoustic guitar, ten more feet running up the ramp full speed someone handed him his blue Gibson, a few seconds later he was plugged in belting and screaming out a typical song that the Foo is known for. If your going to one of Dave’s concerts, take the day off before and after. Last time I saw the Foo, the day after I couldn’t hear, had a splitting headache, and completely lost my voice but NEVER felt better in my whole life.
There is an old style of irish singing called sean nos in the Irish language ,similar to what you heard but in irish(gaelic) which you would hear in connemara west of galway .Connemara is a wild region west of galway city its also a gaeltacht area which an irish speaking area.They are actually people there who have poor english because they speak irish as there predominant tongue.
We actually live in Ireland but I'm picking up ideas for road trips from you guys. We moved to West Cork six years ago and haven't seen half the stuff you've covered!
Many many Irish pubs are like that , locals the banter & singing a few tunes . Glad ye enjoyed the experience ☺️ stumbled on your channel recently & I'm enjoying the content . Clifden is a small town try see it & of course kylemore Abbey & Connemeara .Enjoy ☺️🇮🇪
As Gaeilge le do thoil, after all your in Galway. You were right there in the edge of the Gaeltacht. You were in the bookstore and didn't even think about looking at the Irish language books. You didn't get to Spanish Arch either. You could have tried the King's Head. That was owned by the man selected to behead the King of England. So much to do, so little time. I had three days and could have spent three weeks there. Slan
Hey guys...we have been watching your Ireland videos in preparation for our trip in May. Thanks for taking the time to put all the Ireland videos together. (we know first-hand how much time this takes!) Full support from us! Cheers!
Thank you so much! I bought it at Weavers of Ireland in Kinsale. There are several locations around the country though. Here's their website: weaversofireland.com/
Just found you guys this aft, giving me ideas for my first trip home from Australia for 15 years. Very interesting that you’re based in Kinsale. Maybe we’re related as you mentioned Lynch from Cork and Galway. My mother was a Lynch. Based from around Robert’s Cove near Kinsale. Loads of Lynch’s around that area still I believe. Will watch more of your excellent videos soon. Thank you, Michael
Awesome video love you guys energy 😁. Please tell me the name of the place where you had the high tea and i think i heard your hubby say that red tea in the teapot is strawberry cream tea? I will be in Galway end of March and would love to do this 😊🙏
Galway and Cork! Ooh, maybe we're related... I'm Canadian, my grand-mother great-grand-parents came from Ireland in the 1840's-50's to Canada... I've done a lot of research, found where we come from... Cork or at least a small village in the vicinity of Cork city... and near Galway, well, I should say near Kinvara there's a castle called Dunguaire... it's been build by my ancestors, I've been told!
Hi ive only just found your channel and i have to say that its excellent viewing . top notch camera work , video editing and very cool music choices for your content. the two of you are such fun and total naturals in front of the camera. Im Irish myself so its really heart warming to see you enjoy your adventures across Ireland, its always great to see Ireland through the lens of visitors here as we very often forget how lucky we are to live in such a place. by the way i knew Melissa had Irish heritage before she even mentioned it in this video, as she definately has Irish eyes. as for Chris he looks like Russel Crowe, not sure if you heard that before 🙂 Anyway awesome work , ive just subbed and ill be looking forward to watching more 👍👍
Awe thanks Talons! Ireland is a delight and we intend to see it again. I have had a few say I look like Mr. Crow. And also like old Luke Skywalker. Melissa has a lot of Irish... she's 51.6% Irish according to 23andme. Thanks for taking the time to watch. It is appreciated.
Where abouts in the world are ye nowadays?😊 did ye enjoy ireland or Portugal more?😂 I was born and raised in galway but have been living in Australia for the last 15 years,moving back to Ireland next year 😊
We are currently living in Minnesota now. Can't say we enjoyed either more, however it was easier in Ireland because of the language thing. Although, Melissa is mostly Irish decent, so she did feel closer to Ireland.
@@chrisplusmelissa Ahright nice:) Do ye have much plans to go back to ireland/Europe? Yeah I know some lynchs in galway but not alot, Ye two seem like an awesome couple and your youtube page is amazing:) Definitely a thumbupabump from me😂😂
@@chrisplusmelissa do Americans know what's happening in Ireland atm? What the Irish government and eu are doing to irish?? It's definitely not being talked about in the mainstream media, Its heart breaking, Ireland won't be Ireland in 20 years:( I hope people can spread the word and we can fix it
Melissa, did you know that Che Guevara ( yes the Cuban revolutionary) was a direct descendent of a chap named Patrick lynch from Galway? Due to English persecution he fled Ireland and ended up in Buenos Aires in 1749. The photograph taken by Alberto Korda was adapted by Irish print artist Jim Fitzpatrick and it became the iconic image on millions of posters and t-shirts through out the world ever since. The actual photo was taken in 1960 while the print was made sometime in the late sixties.

It is tasty. Hopefully you guys aren't making it everyday as your morning coffee. 🤣
@@chrisplusmelissa Weekends only. Melissa, you are Soooo Minnesotan
Blues / Bluegrass is definitely rooted in traditional Irish music, so well done spotting the similarity!
Ulster Scots not Gaelic Irish
I adore you guys! Just too cute. God speed on future adventures. 🙏
Thank you so much!
Jack Lynch was Irish prime minister in the eighties. He was from Cork.
The Crane bar has been top venue for Irish traditional music for years in West of Ireland. Goto place for Galway for sure.
Wow gunpowder it just won best gin award and beat the rock into number 2 you the actor the rock
The singing reminds me of the my father who used to break out in a song at every family event. Family weddings with my father and uncles used to be fabulous

Awe thanks for the nice words... we do get grumpy sometimes tho! :D

That's exactly what I expect an Irish Pub should be like.
It was just Irish in Ireland when i was young, someone would always crack into a song drunk , especial the oul lads

You were so Lucky with the weather, glad you enjoyed our town, I’ll have to go for tacos now.
We have been in Ireland for 3 months and we have had great weather. Only a couple adventures where it wasn't so nice. Galway is lovely!
Ahhh you inadvertently discovered Irish time. We are always late lol
That Dave Grohl book is so good!
That’s Andy Friend Connacht rugby coach sitting in the pub!
Who? Where?
We actually live in Ireland but I'm picking up ideas for road trips from you guys. We moved to West Cork six years ago and haven't seen half the stuff you've covered!
Sometimes life just takes up all the time! :D Great to hear you're going to explore more of Ireland! Do you like living in West Cork?
Love the singing!!

Thank you for the kind words! Ireland is a lovely country!

It's probably the only Taco shop in Ireland.
Nonsense. There are hundreds. 🤦♀️
Awesome video love you guys energy 😁. Please tell me the name of the place where you had the high tea and i think i heard your hubby say that red tea in the teapot is strawberry cream tea? I will be in Galway end of March and would love to do this 😊🙏

The first ever American to say Galway correctly? 😲 I'm actually shocked, unless you learned? 😑

I did not know that. That's fascinating!
