- The Boys of Barr na Sraide - To the beautiful people of Cahersiveen and County Kerry, Ireland: Siergson Cliffords wonderful song about the men and women who lived on Top Street (Barr na Sraide) and their struggle for Irish freedom and the preservation of Irish traditions, music, poetry and culture.
We Cornish have also suffered under the imperial boot of the Sawsnek. You are a beacon - the first independent Celtic Nation. Hope we can rely on your brotherhood in our own struggle. We also need to be free!

Barr na Sraide in Gaelic means The Top of the Street. I love the song and the singer has a great voice.
So beautiful~~thank you for posting this to UA-cam!
Beautiful ballad voice.
Wow Brilliant Performance Love It It Well Done
no its about the top street of Cahersiveen! The song is based on a poem by Sigerson Clifford, who was born in Cahersiveen, and it tells the story of the boys of Barr Na Sraide Top Street who hunted for the wren. The poem recalls the life of his boyhood friends starting from when they were young children through to the Black and Tan period, and up to the civil war.
Love your singing on Boys of barr na sraide.......... and the video is great! well done.
Wonderful song. We really enjoyed meeting you in Ireland. This is really beautiful........ Jerry and Loretta

Lovely song and great singer but I sure am glad that the poor Wren isn't hunted anymore.

@TheRenardpoint >if you are so sure that this guy is not the singer then tell us all who is>we would love to know>
I think the singer is Ralph Mc Tell???
Tiss himself alright 💪
Not Ralph....singer is Ben Yeates...
You sing this better than Christy Moore.
@TheRenardpoint - who's name is what?
Couldn't see 'Dingle' ever..'climbing the mountains and looking at the sea'...Ye need one leg shorter than the other to get up and around parts of Caherciveen...
Cahirciveen
@Lissadell1916 I did indeed well done
Does anyone know who the singer is?
Think it’s Ralph mc tell
@@Jamie-qk2vb You must be joking, surely?
Ben Yeates is the singer Tim...
@TheRenardpoint - Don’t procrastinate if you don’t know the answer, just say so. It was a serious question. I’ll try again. What is the name of the singer of this song who is a friend of yours?
up the marys
englishman singing an irish song!!
+Brian Lee so what,we sing beatles songs
And, singing it very well!!!
A singer is a singer. This man transcends nationality. He does this song PROUD !!!
That is how good the song is, even the English can't resist our music. ha
don siffe i think is singin but i could be wrong as me hole
@paddy65 No, it's not Don Stiffe singing so the first part of your post is incorrect, but although I don't know you I have a feeling the second part may be correct!
What's wrong with your hole?!!!
Who is/was the singer?
He seems to be reluctant to reveal his identity
Martin Omahoney, Why should you assume that he is "reluctant to reveal his indentity." This man worked with the Irish on London building sites. From that he wrote "From Clare to Here." A lovely but sad song about the heartbreak of forced immigration from Ireland. By your rather ignorant remark it is clear you are among those who have neither knowledge or feeling of such a time. You are at about the time when you may learn it all anew. His name is Ralph McTell. A great writer of songs. A good human being. And an Englisman
