Not long before my best friend and hero, my dad passed away we went to see the Fureys in Glasgow. We sang this together with tears rolling down our faces. Some of the songs were played at my beautiful mums funeral. They met aged 10 and had 65 years together. A true inspiration to me xx

My fathers favourite group was these guys, I totally understand why, we played this and The Green Fields of France at his funeral, it was in May 2020, we were permitted 15 people at the funeral, my dad was loved by everyone who knew him, so many people were so sad they couldn’t attend. Then my mum passed seven months later from C19. I am 52 and I felt like a child of about five again when I saw my dad in the funeral home, I lost it. It was not permitted for anyone to view my mums body. The Fureys have so much passion in their music, it’s unforgettable and makes me think of my parents, a blessing indeed ❤
we stole away in 1978 then again in 1988...no reason left to stay both times...so sad that the next generation had to do the same, when will the children of Ireland be able to stay?
We didn't have to, we should have stood firm and drew the fucking dole and let the sickening corrupt Marxists in government provide housing for us, if they can bring thousands of migrants here, house them, feed them, give them money wtf can't they provide for their own , the whole thing is a scam, id rather stay at home in my beautiful Ireland amongst my own people and starve. People of Ireland got greedy turned on Their heritage God, St Patrick, Michael Collins, Owen O Duffy, the 1916 martyrs, they sold their souls to the antichrist eu and its just gonna get worse amd worse as time passes

Loved this song since my childhood all four grandparents having travelled over to England from Ireland in the 1940s. All long dead but I sang the song to my son as I held him in my arms in the delivery room!
Had a few pints with Mick Fury last week, Paul's son.. awesome guy, no airs and graces , totally sound guy....some people take the piss. Don't do it in front of me.
Beautiful song. One we recorded at the Darnum Musical Village in Victoria, Australia, in a beautiful setting., and a flute intro, with a beautiful voice.
My parents had this song on a cassette simply entitled "Irish Songs". I've since only tracked down a couple of songs but would love to know the singular source of the playlist on that tape. It also had by the Fureys, "My Love is like a red, red rose", "I'll take you home again Kathleen" by Foster & Allen and versions of the old rugged cross, danny boy and a version of "Give the children back their chilhood" by Gloria Hunniford.
@MysticReverie - you are a legend my friend. i have found the track list from that album and will be looking for the individual tracks to download - thanks for the info.
@MysticReverie - Managed to get "The Lakelands" by Dean Friedman. Great tune. Have found a few of them on here and spotify but a few of the versions are hard to get hold of by the srtist on that album so I may be knocking on your door for help soon
It took me a while to get to listening to this, after my fiancé cruelly dumped me by email..... I had promised to play this on the day we got married. I've always wondered who the husband and wife were...???? He bears a striking resemblance to Davey Arthur and she looks like a young Anie Furry (Finbar's daughter).... Am I right do you think? Cause if not WHO THE ECK ARE THEY???
@ezzabig7 I Beleive this is the album you refer too. Its also where Ifirst heard this music. ebay.co.uk/VARIOUS-ARTISTS-GREEN-VELVET-16-BALLADS-PEACE-LOVE-/160478880499?pt=UK_Records&hash=item255d4962f3 Not sure if its out on cd, so i made myself a cd version as best i could a few years back.
aww..We stole away from Yorkshire to Spain because of this song (and the Animals 'We gotta get out of this place)..Sadly she stole away some 3 years later!! tant pis

Oh just what we need. Another plastic wannabe Paddy
@@samooskhka horrible comment. Paddy that is lovely
It was my ‘rocking’ lullaby in the middle of the night 🥰
@@samooskhka I was born and raised until,I was eleven. Lived in Cork and Donegal where I plan to retire to soon. What a nasty little gobshite you are!
I saw these live in Boston a few years running when i first got to America. Great ambassador's to our motherland.
Had a few pints with Mick Fury last week, Paul's son.. awesome guy, no airs and graces , totally sound guy....some people take the piss. Don't do it in front of me.
brilliant they are seen them live many times down the years paul passed away far to soon rip
It’s great to have such a lovey voice singing songs brings us all together
Hours ago, I was listening to this song in a restaurant and thought that I must have this song on my playlist.
Ahhhh....this song sends me to heaven ❤
This is one of my favourites and was My late Brothers favourite too. I always think of him when I hear this
I never heard of this one. I like it. Peaceful.
Beautiful song. One we recorded at the Darnum Musical Village in Victoria, Australia, in a beautiful setting., and a flute intro, with a beautiful voice.

you will find this beautiful song on a Fureys Cd called I will love you,,,
This is from a Irish video that had multiple artists on it. I used to watch it with my parents but cannot remember the name of of it.
Green velvet? I seem to remember that being the name, not entirely sure though.

Beautiful music and song Con Horan Newbridge Kildare
It is a nice song and video!!
@MysticReverie - you are a legend my friend. i have found the track list from that album and will be looking for the individual tracks to download - thanks for the info.
I know your listening dad miss you
For all those that have to leave Ireland 💚☘️🇨🇮
One of the two songs we sang before we left Yorkshire for Majorca - but sad finish - c'est la vie I guess
❤
your wrong to both" she was in the sweet 16 video her name is ann marie and the other was at the time an actor friend of the Fureys,,
@ezzabig7 if that link doesnt work.. the title of the album was:
'Green Velvet-Sixteen Ballads of Peace and Love '
hope that helps
My beautiful Ireland what has become of you
i notice that it's the same girl in this video as is on the cover of the album "sweet sixteen".
Any relation Tony?
it's my mam:) she gets emotional whenever she hears this song
She grew up fast, she was 16 in the last video.
When someone you love passes away...and this song is played.... if you don't break down in some way.. your a cold hearted ass hole
Wow... never knew this existed... Where did you find this gem?
Is it available on ANY DVD?
