I cry every time I watch this man singing his heart out as the world collapses. He represents everything that Ireland once was, he is the embodiment of an entire way of life that is disappearing in front of our eyes. Peace be with you, Mick. You are everything I wish the world would return to--freedom, happiness, beauty, love and joy. Thank you for this beautiful video.
Discovered this during lockdown and as soon as I could see my Granda again I got him and played it for him on TV blaring while we were having a drink. Never knew then I would have been playing this at his funeral 10 months later. Glad we shared the moment together and he agreed this was the greatest version of this song he had ever heard. Listening to it now makes me choke up but this version was as fucking brilliant as he was to me. Out standing
Been 4 years since i left Cork - this song makes me equally sad and happy. Sad how i miss home, and happy that my home is Ireland. What a song, voice and country.
This is my da’s favourite song and means a lot to me, he passed away 6 months ago today from Covid. Know for a fact he would have loved ya mick, keep her lit 👌
Its saddens me deeply that no matter how much i sing this great song ; I will never sing it with as much passion and talent as this fella right here. Big booming voice. Great stuff!
I was depressed of my head lying in bed and i seen this. And it brought life back into my body man. Best version ive ever heard since Luke Kelly. Thank you so much man. The seagulls know a good singer when they hear one.
Jesus this man has raw talent singing from his heart you can feel the raw emotion from his voice ..will someone give this gentleman a record deal Quick .reminds me of the late ronnie drew rip .👍👏
This song makes me sad Mick reminds me of the old dublin The great people The people that didnt size ye up when ye first meet them . The crac was had hard working people but we always had the crac I feel we have lost our way the old dublin way . They where great days . I still love ye DUBLIN
Mick. My father passed away in December aged 80, simply past in his sleep (blessing). He was a Derry man. His 2 favourite songs were "a Town that I loved so well"(obviously) and The Auld triangle. I cannot begin to express how much YOUR absolutely flawless renditions of these songs have helped me grieve and lament daily. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You will always be on my playlist. God bless yu. 🙏
Hey Paddy it really is an amazing rendition. Just re-listening to it tonight, with 2 ice cold tins of Carlsberg😊 For me this is the anthem of the year Covid came to town. Hope you are well lad🇨🇮
hope people realise how very special this is ... just captures the soul of the song .... by far my favorite version of this song i ever heard .. and i have worked in music over 30 years at this stage of my life ...
This makes me think of my mum who passed away 25 years ago. She was irish but moved to Scotland when she was 16 . I feel so proud to be half irish and scottish. Proper Celtic through and through. This man has an amazing voice .
Ive watched this 4 times today and its not 10am. Watched it a few times yesterday. For me its such a powerful thing, not just the song but the whole process. Lockdown shouldnt stop talent being shared so walk it out and belt it out at the same time. Defiance while singing about a prison. The irony of that and we all serving this sentence
@@markireland7541 Thanks for your comment Mark. It's a school of opera and we admit students based on their auditions. Certainly if I were a talent scout or an A and R guy who worked for a label I'd put him on the folk circuit and reap that sweet, sweet 10% commission for sitting on my ass while he sang like an angel.
WOW 👏 when most people try sing irish music they turn there mouth to the side and put an accent on , this legend just fucking shouts it out ,raw ,emotional, beautiful 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
From one retired old busker: Thanks for reminding me of the meaning of all those years I spent singing out my tunes...keep the spirit alive Mick!!! You're an inspiration to us all!!!
Mick. I've been going into work every day since lockdown. Nothing special about it but the city centre in Manchester has been desolate at times. I was hoping some legend at the council would seize the opportunity and blast some music out from the rooftops to help lift moral. I originally wanted something like Al Green, Jackie Wilson or Stevie Wonder. but after hearing this. I've changed my mind. You can tell your Vocals were on form and you hit the sweet spot. Haunting and poignant. Maestro!
This is how You sing when you don’t care if anyone is watching/And You sound good,,I play this song a lot since a Buddy of mine sent me your link!!!Peace and Joy be upon You!!!🩸🩸❤️👊🏻LMWAO I JUST KEEP POSTING IN YOUR COMMENT SECTION
I keep listening to this song over n over again . , its just heart warming n everything even the birds whistling adds to this powerful song . Well done mick . You ve done yourself proud n dublin n IRELAND PROUD . ABSOLUTE LEGEND OF A FELLA 👍
I haven't heard such power in a voice since the great Mr Kelly passed. Mick you made my fathers day when I showed him this. He was struck by the power in your voice. Peace and Love brother. Stay safe and keep lashing out the tunes. Slainte.
There is pride, power and a whole heap of Irish soul and culture behind this man's performance. When I think of our musical artists, this is what I see. ❤
Mick your vocal is very rare reminds me of listening to the great Luke Kelly he was the very best that means there's definitely something in your voice that makes people love it you definitely should record this song because your talent is definitely fantastic your are a born star and we all know you're music would definitely go along way best of luck and I hope we all get to hear a recorded version of the song

This song became our lock down anthem. Such a lovely man. Salt of the earth

Well said 👍🏻 God bless and save Ireland.
Great comment heart breaking
Relax yank
Not sure what you are getting at here, return to freedom? Peace? What island are you referring to?
@@ConorMackrell on about the world. He is right it’s a bigger mess now than a very long time.
He certainly did this Classic Irish and Dublin Song justice and then some and then some more . Wow, no words.
Absolutely.. it was impeccable
Probably the very first time I've loved a cover more than the original. Amazing ❤️

"How are ya lads?"... doesn't skip a beat... Legend
Lol, true.
Surely the most beautiful and moving version of this song I’ve ever heard.
He blew it away. Needs to get it on iTunes or Spotify. And it needs to be as raw as this. What a voice he has
Sounds good but I can't see how it sounds so loud and clear without a proper mic in his face 🤔
It sure is a moving version alright... Moving half way down Henry street. 😂
Christ above that man can chant yuppa 🇮🇪🇮🇪
@@damienjoseph7540 his amazing voice ,propels the beautiful words, in the acoustic street of Downton Dublin.
Seriously id love a night in a bar listening to this guy singing.
lets make it happen
That is not an impossible dream pal, i am sure Mick would play a few songs for you.
He's in the ploughman pub in kinsealy on Thursday
Hes in Peadar Kearneys every Friday evening too
Been 4 years since i left Cork - this song makes me equally sad and happy. Sad how i miss home, and happy that my home is Ireland. What a song, voice and country.
Where did you go?
Holy shit that was unreal what a voice
This is my da’s favourite song and means a lot to me, he passed away 6 months ago today from Covid. Know for a fact he would have loved ya mick, keep her lit 👌

This makes me think of my mum who passed away 25 years ago. She was irish but moved to Scotland when she was 16 . I feel so proud to be half irish and scottish. Proper Celtic through and through. This man has an amazing voice .
A legend! The best version of this song ever, can't believe I only found this yesterday
A song from isolation sang during isolation. Very poignant. Brilliant.
Even the seagulls sound awesome!
Love it Love Love it .Best version ever ,a real Dub . God Bless ya

I will be putting it on repeat over and over. Better than Dubliners. Best sound I've heard in my life.
Comparable for impact, compared to Pogues version too
Hard not to listen to it over and over..
I can’t believe how good this version is
Pure class
What an amazing voice
This just gets me every time. Just keep coming back to this time and time again. One of the greatest versions of this song ever. Timeless.. ❤

Unbelievable lad should be a hit, number 1 absolute class , somebody send this to the radio
Found this lad today, me heart broke but me soul danced. Hits you right in the chest this. So much talent
The absolute definition of 'belting it out'. Incredible . . . incredible version of a stone cold classic.
Beautiful. The best version of this song ive ever heard. Unreal!
The most inspiring irish singer since the days of Sinead O'Connor doing the grammy's.
As an Irishman..im proud of you Mick!! Blessings brother.
I’m head of music staff at the Royal northern college of music and i very rarely hear something so moving and passionate, you have a beautiful voice.
If your head of music is your job not to find people like him with real talent .. I’d definitely pay to see him
@@markireland7541 Thanks for your comment Mark. It's a school of opera and we admit students based on their auditions. Certainly if I were a talent scout or an A and R guy who worked for a label I'd put him on the folk circuit and reap that sweet, sweet 10% commission for sitting on my ass while he sang like an angel.
Probably the strongest voice I've ever heard. The way it echos all down the street and reverberates off the buildings
as one who lives stateside, whenever I need my dublin- Ireland fix, this is the clip I go to, raw passion, maith fear Mick.
WOW 👏 when most people try sing irish music they turn there mouth to the side and put an accent on , this legend just fucking shouts it out ,raw ,emotional, beautiful 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Absolutely class shivers all the way YNWA
A voice of freedom during hard times for everyone .
Thanks mate , from a scouser .
