For me personally this song is not about the singer or the instruments etc. It’s about the men and women down through the ages that fought for our country against oppression. I owe them a huge debt.🇮🇪💚
Thursday 12 May 1921, (five years to the day since the executions of Seán MacDiarmada and James Connolly) and in memory of Patrick Dalton, Paddy Walsh, Jerry Lyons. (Not forgetting young Con Dee of course). R.I.P. Beautifully performed as always Daoiri. Up The Kingdom!☘️☘️☘️☘️
Patrick Dalton was my granny's uncle, went to the shrine in gortaglanna on the 100 year anniversary last year, RIP to all our brave soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom 💚
R.I.P to both my grandfather's Francis Kelley and Frederick Neary, And to my grandmother's Ellen Mulcahy and Bernadette Coffin, who came from that beautiful country. I wish I lived there and not the states.
These men weren't fighting for ideology but for hearth and home and family; their identity as Irishmen which had been withheld from them for 800+ years.
The line that is often sung by various singers "'And side by side they fought and died '' is totally wrong. Those lads were unarmed there was no gun battle,they were executed. Peggy Sweeneys version ""and side by side they bravely died " is the only version that i know of that describes the true events.May those lads Rest In Peace.
Surely it refers to their previous actions as part of the armed struggle? I mean they weren't the ICA, they were the IRA. The clue is in the line "Republican bold". 🤔😉
Evaluate the place they met their deaths - they were removed from the road and executed in a blind spot on a curve in the hedge that couldn’t be seen from either end of it - were they led there or did they have foreknowledge? No chance of coincidence in that location

@@briantneary2248 don't ever for get that my friend u are irish and u always will be
if there is a guinness world record for longest continuing goosebumps - I just got it....such an emotional song!
Chills. What a perfect rendition of this bit of Irish history and culture.
Never heard this song or singer until today. Both beautiful and powerful.
Check out his version of The Foggy Dew. While I love Sinead O'Connors version. I think I like his better.
That little bit toward the end describing Dalton’s view as he faced the sky and took one last look at his beloved Ireland…😢
So gorgeous singing and beautiful song ever Daoiri this exquisite ever awesome on Bouzouki to like very much thank you
Fantastic concert with the great Lùnasa in Amerikay! Daoirí is the new voice of Irish folk!
Beautiful song . Absolutely amazing 👌
Love this guys voice
this is so amazing... why oh why is he so "unknown" over here in germany? It is so beautiful ... just amazing.
What a beautiful voice!
How can he even sing this? I can't even listen to it without a massive lump in my throat. "For Ireland I'll die as I face the sky..." 🇮🇪

The tune he is using is unfmailiar . . . . Was the intro in Irish or Gaelic?
