Great cover, the Holy Ground was one time a red light district in Cobh. There was a reason why they wanted see the the place once more when they went to sea :-D
if you mary wallopers read this message, please know what that long forgotten song meant to me , born in england through no fault of my own, my parents reared in in COBH, my father belted it out on his way home from the local ale house, i was embarassed and proud of him at the same time..... you bring this song to life, fine boys you are, thank you for keeping the old traditions, i am crying and laughing
I was in Cobh around '96 I think - they had a music festival - they called it a "wake" - a session going on in every pub (like 19 of them) - fantastic craic.
@@muzwell Cobh was always cobh long before british rule and always will be.. it was named from the gaelic language and is the entrance to CORK CITY, THE WONDERFUL ISLAND WHICH IS COBH IS PRONOUNCED COVE IN ENGLISH ,NOT COB H
@@SnakeFist150 not yet. Not a good idea to wallop Mary . Her Son doesn't like it. Google Częstochowa and see what happened to the man who attacked a picture of Mary (he dropped dead on the spot).
Top 🍌 banana that is right there! The Wallopers are a fantastic band, and yes I’m biased as a banjo player but that is definitely a party whenever and wherever they are playing🎉can’t wait to see them live in Nottingham Rock City in a few months! Best Hootananny performance ever by far🤘
@@mikmc don't talk down and don't tell me what to do. It's the band making what you call "ejits" of themselves frankly. Wake up guys this take on trad music is out of tune and has had its day
@@marymoloney5784 each to their own but i would take a high energy band playing music that makes you want to jump around having fun over some girl singing a slow boring ballad about a lost love any day of the week
@@JustSean413 they are talented that's what's so sad. They are playing to the paymasters on the BBC. . ...playing the tunes too fast isn't high energy it's just playing the tunes too fast.

The Mary Wallopers are the wildest, hardest-rocking band around, they give more musical power than the Heaviest Heavy Metal band with their 16 truckloads of heavy metal music equipment, Come on you Mary Wallopers, give them hell, spare no one out your way to conquer the world and become the brilliant musical band of all time
To heck with the PURISTS they are always causing trouble, this is really great music, they continue to keep those forgetter songs to live on forevermore
Never mind young audience - saw them in Bristol on 17th March & this is a band for all ages. Mind you my feet were killing me tge next day!😂 Top class musicians & their musical talent not to be underestimated in this line up.
Great work lads... bass player is making this sound class as well as everyone else but no sign of him in the video. Big respect to the bass players who don't get the credit they deserve.
Do you mean the woman, not man as you assumed, playing the white Fender Jazz bass who is visible throughout the video? Big shout out to the invisible women bass players
Playing and renewing the songs of my father and my long lost childhood, absolutely feckin awesome to hear these songs being played again. Maybe I'll get to play a tune with them in Dundalk one day soon.

To be fair now, the songs are to be sung however whoever is singing them wants to sing them. The tradition thrives and survives on the old tunes finding new voices and new ears to keep them alive. A generation might not ever find the Clancy Brothers version, except through hearing the Wallopers first. Even if it's not for you, it's good for the lineage and legacy of these songs and the artists who've performed them, not to mention the Wallopers also cherry picking songs like Wexford by the Pecker Dunne purely because of a love of his work and a desire to shine more light on his name and his art. That's not to be sniffed at just because a song doesn't sound like it used to. Go to a live show, see how the lads and Róisín have brought these tunes to a wide, diverse audience who are so passionate about seeing this music coming back to the fore. John Francis Flynn, Lankum, Øxn and more, all these artists are taking tunes from the tradition and morphing them into something beautiful, fresh and new. There's nought worse than being boring, and stuff staying the same across decades and generations and never adapting with people and time would be awful boring.
I am Irish and that was embarassingly awful dross, imo. What year from the 1940s did these guys crawl out from? On the other hand, Muireann Bradley was an exceptional talent.
The song Muireann Bradley played was an old blues called Candyman, first recorded in 1928. In fairness to you, the version she played was closer to Dave Van Ronk's version from 1964. We don't know the original writer of the song. It's often listed as a Rev Gary Davis number but he learned it from a travelling guitarist called Porter Irving in 1905. Much like Dave Van Ronk learned it from the Rev Gary Davis. And now Muireann has learned it too. Great how people keep old songs alive by playing them for us.
Rubbish. You could at least provide subtitles, There is only one Shane MacGowan and they will never ever be in the same class as The Saw Doctors. These guys are pretenders. Everything is at a hundred miles an hour. Can't sing for starters. A mess from start to finish.
Why do you need subtitles first of all and secondly there not trying to copy the Pogues, the Dubliners or anyone else, they are playing the music of their Irish youth, their way without apology or a single flying feck about the opinions of strangers, the songs are sung at the intended speed and if that's an issue then why listen? You've clearly never set foot in a genuine Irish bar and you've definitely never been in a trad session where it gets much crazier than this! Stick to knitting and complaining ye eejit.
Discovered this band on New Years Eve on Hootenanny and I’m obsessed. Been listening to them ever since. Best band I’ve seen in ages.
It was great to see spider playing with them
Check out their Covid sessions, great craic
I refuse to disagree with you, by the way I am 1st cousin to Mary Walloper
@@Pablosammy1 yes, yes great fun

Discovered them on newyears eve. Love their music and performance!
Simply awesome 👌
Memories of my father, God rest his soul, singing this when I was little ❤ hadn’t heard it in over 40 years - until this year’s Glastonbury.
I learnt this song in school, Miss Rabbit our music teatcher, Lots of Irish folk songs in Salford
Man that drummer is friggin amazing!
Ken Mooney, he's been in many great Irish bands over the years

So the lyric
"The good old ship is leaving cove
And I am leaving too"
is "cove" meant to be "Cobh"?
I was in Cobh around '96 I think - they had a music festival - they called it a "wake" - a session going on in every pub (like 19 of them) - fantastic craic.

And the secret of my mind
You're the one that I adore
Still, I live in hope to see
The holy ground once more
Fine girl you are
You're the girl I do adore
And still, I live in hope to see

And we are safe in cove
We will drink a health to the holy ground
And the one we all adore
And we'll drink strong ale and porter
Fine girl you are
And make the taproom roar
And when our money is all spent
We'll go to sea for more

Fine girl you are

is that Pete Buttigieg playing the whistle?
See their in there Sunday best
Walloper is a glasgow saying ,if your called a walloper it translates to dxxk 😂😂
A wallop means a slap in Ireland
Well I'm Irish born and bred and I've received plenty of wallops for being bould😂😂
Pink dress. All day long
She is the goods
I would like to hear more just to find out what the fuss is. Not saying their not good, it's the "special" I'm not picking up on.
not sure theres any comparisons to be made here…but…a tribute to the great shane is better than all the dross on the show
slainte ☘️☘️

Good Irish band - great for those new to them - pretty ordinary for those who have watched this sort of band since the 70s.
May you have been around

Absolutely 😢brutal no other words to describe them..😂
Music was OK but the singing not great just shouting
Shocking! Id be embarrased by these.
I would be embarrassed if I spelt like you
I am Irish and that was embarassingly awful dross, imo. What year from the 1940s did these guys crawl out from? On the other hand, Muireann Bradley was an exceptional talent.
One singing in their own accent, the other singing in an American accent… Which one is embarrassing again?

Jaysus, calling Muireann Bradley embarrassing? Ah here.... she's an unreal talent
A load of bollox!
What a pile of shite … no comparison to the Pogues what so ever!
100% agree. They are a dreadful spoof band.
Rubbish. You could at least provide subtitles, There is only one Shane MacGowan and they will never ever be in the same class as The Saw Doctors. These guys are pretenders. Everything is at a hundred miles an hour. Can't sing for starters. A mess from start to finish.
You definitely got fiddled with as a child
You sound like some bollux
Why do you need subtitles first of all and secondly there not trying to copy the Pogues, the Dubliners or anyone else, they are playing the music of their Irish youth, their way without apology or a single flying feck about the opinions of strangers, the songs are sung at the intended speed and if that's an issue then why listen? You've clearly never set foot in a genuine Irish bar and you've definitely never been in a trad session where it gets much crazier than this! Stick to knitting and complaining ye eejit.
And why would you want subtitles if you disliked them so much?
Such a hypocrite you know you loved them admit it 🤣
