Will never understand how people's lives are so hurried that they cannot stop for 5 minutes to listen. Such a beautiful voice Rachel has and Mary Black would have loved it this I know! Thank you kindly for sharing...
How on earth are people just walking past this!? Even the ones putting money in. I was transfixed and amazed by her voice and beautiful rendition of this classic song!
Moved from abroad to the Galway bay coast at midlife. Everyday I remember I live in a post card. If I were planning my funeral I would move heaven and earth to have you Rachel sing this at it. It wouldn’t surprise me if you are asked by Irish emigrants over England to so. Not just the song. YOU singing it.
When I was this young lady’s age I probably would not have stopped either with the idea I’ll have time for this later. Now I’m 74 all I would like to do is stop and listen because I now know how little time we all are given
Chris Granger i was literally thinking i womdwr how many people get misty eyed listening to songs like this and then i read your post. I feel better now ;)
Rachel Croft reminds me of a young Bonnie Raitt playing to small crowds in a bar called 'Tulagi's' in Boulder CO 1973. I was a freshman at CU then. I knew she would go far. I get the same feeling each time I hear Rachel sing.. You've won me over as a true fan, Rachel, and I thank you most enthusiastically..
You can really sing well! Lovely tone, lovely range and just pure & crystal clear.Keep singing no matter what. It's hard to make a living singing and competition is fierce but just remember - you have a great voice and it is worth all the obstacles to overcome in this world. You have that gift of voice!
I echo the comments below, how can anyone just pass by? This illistrates the major flaw in our modern society, its not our differences, it is our inability to appreciate how beautiful we are. Rachel you are beautiful 😍 and your thank you and sweet smile makes my day and I'm not even there!
Say, Rachel. I just asked my Amazon device to play "Song for Ireland" and it popped up this rendition by you! Way to go! But make sure they aren't screwing you out of royalties, hear!
Just came across this beautiful version of song for Ireland. Who is this immensely talented young lady. Absolutely beautiful voice. This young lady needs to be in a recording studio.
How can people walk past & ignore such an amazing performance ? It just proves that all the sheeple ever listen to is the idiot box in the corner of the room.
Thank you so much Catherine! I'm still here playing, but doing more original music now. I haven't given up! Sorry this is late, I forget to check Martin's videos of me for comments!
Thank you for this. I heard this song only once during our two-week stay in April, but it quickly became a favorite. This is the most beautiful version I've heard. Jim
I've seen Mary sing this live many times . Rachel hit every note perfectly ( even in the cold wind !!! ) Living near York , I must make the effort to go and throw a few ££££ in the collection :-)
I think this is the best version of this beauty of a song. Thanks, Rachel. By the way, it was written by an English gentleman, I think, correct me if I am wrong.
Rachel does much justice for this beautiful Irish song. God bless her heart!

Rachel has the most beautiful voice, perfectly sung
God Bless Rachel Croft unbelievable voice and songs 🤞😬🇮🇪💯🍀🍀🍀🇮🇪🍀🇮🇪🍀🇮🇪🇶🇦🍀
that voice deserves an audience of thousands rather than a few disinterested shoppers
I would not be able to walk on by. I'd have to stop and listen
Yes, agreed....but the competition was an early recording by Mary Black....I very much love this one, too, just for the music and an beautiful voice.
For sure man, exceptional
@@jamesmullins9127 just beautiful

I was in York one day and saw Rachel setting up. Her voice made me do an about turn. The quickest CD purchase of my life.
Thanks so much John, hope you enjoyed the CD!
Oh my God, so heart wrenching when I think of Ireland! 🙏
What a beautiful voice Rachel has. One of my favourite songs.
There is nothing more worth while than taking time to listen to such an angelic voice.

Sing it loud and sing it proud. Beautiful voice, beautiful effort, beautiful woman, could listen to this version all my life.
Agree Sean Beauiiful

Irish songs make me cry. This one too.
Chris Granger i was literally thinking i womdwr how many people get misty eyed listening to songs like this and then i read your post. I feel better now ;)
A beautiful voice and a beautiful song that is even more beautiful when you realise it was written by an English couple, Phil and June Colclough.
So do I

A beautiful song sung by a beautiful girl. What more could the Irish want other than a united Ireland.
She has a beautiful voice.
Ireland, you'll get through the storm from the Atlantic sea. We in America are with you in spirit. If you need anything, just let us know.
Americans may need to come to Ireland for asylum.
