What an amazing rendition. I've been leaning towards Paul Brady's version for a while now but this has brought me right back to Andy! The harmonising and piping at the end made my hair stand on end.
Haha my son likes this song. I saw Andy live, not when he was young like this but when he was my grandpa's age. He was still very funny and charming. Good times.
I have dozens of CDs of Irish music. Why the hell didn't I discover Planxty sooner? It's now my favorite band.
Better late than never!
Oh, Planxty, great emotional songs, so nice, Pat Reilly, Arthur McBride, the Blacksmith, Merrily Kissed the Quaker..
Awesome musicianship
