    To facilitate social distancing, a smaller ensemble was used to produce this music video in October 2020. This video was produced under strict safety protocols from University College Dublin's Safety Office. All those not in front of the camera wore masks at all times, with social distancing and regular temperature checks in operation throughout the production.
    About 'Courting is a Pleasure':
    Found masquerading under a variety of names throughout the Irish tradition, such as ‘Farewell Ballymoney’, and ‘Going to Mass Last Sunday’, 'Courting is a Pleasure' is a song of false love, betrayal, and emigration. Typically sung from the male perspective about a false young woman named Molly, here we have altered it to a female, singing about her dear love Jonny.
    In this traditional Irish song the girl sings a tale of an unhappy courtship after being slighted by her sweetheart Jonny, she warns people to be wary of men with a roving eye. The protagonist of the song curses the man in question and leaves Ireland for America bidding farewell to her sweet Ballymoney and Antrim.
    While the author remains unknown, the song itself is well-traveled and can be found amongst broadside ballads in the North of America.
    LYRICS :
    Courting is a pleasure
    Between my love and I
    And it's down in yonder valley
    I would meet him by and by.
    It’s down in yonder valley
    he is my heart's delight:
    “and it’s with you lovely Jonny
    I would spend till broad daylight."
    Going to mass last Sunday,
    My love, he passed me by.
    I knew his mind was altered
    By the roving of his eye.
    I knew his mind was altered
    To a lass of high degree:
    “Oh Jonny, lovely Jonny
    Your looks have wounded me."
    I then took out a bottle
    And I held it in my hand.
    Saying “Here’s a glass dear Jonny
    For our courtship is at an end.
    So raise your glass dear Jonny,
    Drink the bottle dry for me
    For there are 10 guineas wagered
    that married we’ll ner be”.
    Oh never court a wee lad
    With a dark and a roving-eye
    Just kiss him and embrace him,
    never tell him the reason why
    Just kiss him and embrace him
    Till you cause his heart to yield
    For a faint-hearted soldier never gained a battlefield
    Oh farewell Ballymoney
    And to county Antrim too.
    Likewise farewell dear Jonny,
    I will bid you a fond adieu.
    America lies far away
    Across the ocean blue.
    And I’m bound for there dear Jonny
    And again I’ll ner see you.
    So raise your glass dear Jonny
    Drink the bottle dry for me
    And I’m bound for there dear Jonny
    And again I’ll ner see you.

      Was Julius Caesar a Military Tyrant or a Saviour of Rome?
      The aristocracy and their unwillingness to reform the Republic caused men like Caesar to be necessary.
      Without Caesar and his heir Augustus Rome would have declined far sooner than it did.
      Caesar and Augustus were the necessary shocks to the system.
      There’s no doubt that Rome went down a better path because of him, seeing as how the end of the republic also meant the end of political instability in Rome for more than 200 years.
      (Caesar
      Rome April 45 BCE the Great Roman Civil War had finished and Caesar could turn away from war and focus on the poitics of the Republic.
      Caeser believed the power of the Roman Republic had been its common people not the aristocracy as the Optimates believed.
      The reforms enacted by Caesar throughout his career enabled Rome to become the worlds dominant power for hundreds of years after his assassination.
      Witness the parallels between the West in the present day and Rome during the Roman Civil War.
      ---
      Any society is built upon its people.
      People are the greatest capital of any country.
      The economy, society and genetics of a society is the people of that society.
      Thus any immigration policy must be selective not non-selective.
      Selective immigration and non-selective immigration are two completely different concepts.
      Selective immigration will reduce consanguinity within a population and the descendants of the selected immigrants represent the future of the respective society).
      ua-cam.com/video/UDj7EpikibE/v-deo.html

      Roman Senate Optimates and Populares.
      Optimates -- The optimates (optimats- Latin for "best ones", singular- optimas), also known as boni ("good men"), are a label in studies of the late Roman republic. They are seen as supporters of the continued authority of the senate.
      Populares -- The Populares (Latin for "favoring the people", singular popularis) were a political faction in the late Roman Republic who favoured the cause of the plebeians (the commoners).
      ---
      The Roman voting system heavily favoured the rich with the poor having only a comparatively limited amount of influence in voting.
      This is exactly the scenario in present day USA politics.
      Caesar's reforms gave financial incentives for Roman's to have larger families to try and boost Rome's diminished population.
      Demographics is destiny and the future of any society correlates with the birth rate of the women of that society.
      The most important statistic in any society is the average age of women when the first child is born,
      Western politicians have forgotten this basic fact!

      The fall of Rome was attributed to 3 things
      1) Moral Decay
      2) Poor leadership
      3) Pandemics
      ...hmm maybe there is a trend?
      The HPV Virus that causes Warts and Cervical Cancer is the real Pandemic in Western Society.
      The only way to remove a wart is either Cryotherapy Liquid Nitrogen or Laser Surgery.
      Laser Surgery is not an option due to the tissue damage.
      The creams both Dermatologist's and GP's prescribe to remove Warts do not work as the HPV virus penetrates to deep into the skin for them to work.
      Cryothrapy Liquid Nitrogen -- There is almost zero availability and zero capacity for Cryotherpy Liquid Nitrogen to remove warts,
      Dermatologist's -- A patient attending a Dermatology department is akin to visiting an allotment full of cabbages no matter how hard you try between them the Dermatologist's will not be able to help the patient.
      Dermatology -- The most negligent incompetent inept Medical Doctor's in recorded history!

      Not a single migrant has been screened for disease in decades.
      Classical Rome
      Roman Legions returning from War with Persia carried Smallpox with them back to Europe and into Rome.
      Smallpox decimated the European population for more than 1700 years before Edward Jenner developed the Smallpox Vaccine from Cowpox puss.
      Potentially what diseases might the migrants be carrying with them?
      Leprosy is one potential disease the migrants might be carrying with them into Europe and Britain.
      The scary ting about Leprosy is Dermatologists would be responsible for correctly diagnosing Leprosy in patients.
      From personal experience Dermatologist's are as thick as two short planks!
      The negligence incompetence and ineptitude of Dermatologist's is an acute public health issue and must be resolve immediately.
      Human history is shaped by disease and at this very time migrants arriving into Europe and Britain without any health screening might be writing the next chapter in human history being the diseases they are carrying with them into Britain and Europe.

      Not a single migrant arriving in Europe has been screened for disease in decades.
      Human history has been shaped by disease.
      Migrant arriving in Britain and Europe might potentially be carrying a plethora of diseases and there is no health screening of migrants before arriving and/or after arriving.
      Smallpox arrived in Europe by Roman Legions returning from war with Persia.
      Smallpox decimated the European population for more than 1700 years before Edward Jenner developed the Smallpox Vaccine from Cowpox puss.
      Leprosy is one of many diseases migrants could potentially be carrying with them into Europe.
      The scary thing is Dermatologist's would be responsible for correctly diagnosing Leprosy.
      The next chapter of human history is being written at this very time and it is the disease the migrants will inevitably be carrying with them into Europe that will shape European history for hundreds of years to come.
      What would the financial cost be of a Leprosy outbreak in the conurbations of Europe?
      Baffled as to why the medical profession is silent about the issue of disease being carried into Europe by non-selective immigration but here and now the priority must be to establish health screening of migrants.
      The potential for the deliberate malicious transmission of disease in swimming pools for example Leprosy?
      Selective immigration and non-selective immigration are two completely different concepts.

      Haven't you noticed the most beatiful movie stars were very often Irish: Gene Tierney, Linda Darnell,
      Maureen O' Hara (and O' Sullivan),
      even Lucy Lawless. Male stars too:
      Tyrone Power, Erroll Flynn etc. But
      I like women and the brunette in this
      video melts my Heart though I am
      72, thinking of two green eyed Colleens I loved 40 years ago.
      As for melodic talent DNA think
      Lennon and Mc Cartney.

    Thanks again. All of your recordings are so good.
    Comments on Irish singing always skew a bit strange. We aren't really giving these singers the credit they have earned when we start talking about fairies, other worlds, and our great-grandparents.
    Talented humans put in a lot of work on well-chosen songs. Half these comments are trying to change the subject.

    Το κορτάρισμα είναι χαρά
    Το κορτάρισμα είναι χαρά
    Ανάμεσα στην αγάπη μου κι εμέ
    Κι εκεί κάτω στη κοιλάδα
    όπου να’ ναι θα τον δω

    Εκεί κάτω στη κοιλάδα
    είναι της καρδιάς μου η χαρά
    «και μαζί σου καλέ μου Τζόνι
    θα ‘μενα μέχρι μέρα μεσημέρι να ’ρθει»

    Τη Κυριακή που πέρασε στην εκκλησιά
    με προσπέρασ’ η αγάπη μου
    Ένοιωσα πως τ’ αλλάξαν’ τα μυαλά
    έτσι που ξενοκοιτούσε

    Ένοιωσα πως τ’ αλλάξαν’ τα μυαλά
    από μια πλούσια κοπελιά
    «Αχ Τζόνι, Τζόνι αγαπημένε
    με πλήγωσες σαν σε είδα έτσι»

    Έβγαλα τοτ’ ένα μπουκάλι
    και το κράτησα στο χέρι
    Κι είπα «Στης σχέσης μας το τέλος,
    Τζόνι μου καλέ ας πιούμε»

    Σήκωσε το ποτήρι σου καλέ μου Τζόνι,
    για χάρη μου το μπουκάλι στράγγισέ το
    δέκα γκινέες στοίχημα πως
    ο γάμος ποτέ δε θα γενεί»

    Αχ με νιό ποτέ σου μην τα φτιάξεις
    που μαυρομάτης είναι και ξενοκοιτά
    Δωσ’ του φιλιά και αγκαλιές χωρίς
    το γιατί να του το πεις

    Δωσ’ του φιλιά και αγκαλιές
    ωσότου η καρδιά του σου παραδοθεί
    ότι ο λιπόψυχος ο στρατιώτης δεν εκέρδισε
    ποτέ του στης μάχης το πεδίο

    Αχ αντίο στο Μπάλιμόνι
    και στου Άντριμ τα χωριά
    Αντίο σου και σένα καλέ μου Τζόνι
    Από της ψυχής τα βάθη, αντίο

    Η Αμέρικα είναι πέρα μακριά
    πέρα απ’ τον μπλε ωκεανό
    και για κει το δρόμο παίρνω, Τζόνι μου καλέ
    και ξανά ποτέ δε θα σε δω

    Σήκωσε το ποτήρι σου λοιπόν, καλέ μου Τζόνι
    για χάρη μου το μπουκάλι στράγγισέ το,
    που για κει το δρόμο παίρνω, Τζόνι μου καλέ
    και ξανά ποτέ δε θα σε δω
