Solidarity to ALL workers in EVERY country that do the hard work that makes civilization and society possible. And may they fight for and receive a decent and well deserved living wage. Without workers, the suits would have nowhere to go and nothing to do. GREAT job!!!!
I quite agree, although let's not forget the real goal isn't a fair days pay for a fair days work but the abolition of the wages system and the establishment of a society based on production for human need. Either way nice to meet a fellow Josh Okeefe fan, solidarity comrade!
The struggle of the working class is one old as time. But we have the numbers and we do all the work. Yet we are the ones who struggle. When some boss with a tie does nothing and lives in comfort off our hard work. In the words of the great James Connolly “ A revolution will only be achieved when the ordinary people of the world, us the working class, get up off our knees and take back what is rightfully ours “ -James Connolly
England is a beautiful country with a wonderful, brave, complex and storied history. Am an Irishman who respects the history and culture of the regular English. What a country, what a story, and a breathtaking performance by this young man.
It wasn't only the hardworking Irishmen who toiled for England and got shafted by our corrupt government, the Englishmen did too. What is most tragic is the paddies did it for us and still faced injustice. It's better nowadays I think, I hope the Irish can forgive us one day.
Tony - that really means a lot to me for you to say that, I hope to meet you and shake your hand some day out there on the road. All the best to you and thank you for listening. Josh
Brillant supporting act with Glen Hansard in San Fran at The Fillmore and Golden Gate Park!! Welcome and very well done, the audience around us were stunned with your great sound, applauding after your first verse. I just loved it and wish you continued success!
Thank you so much for stopping by the channel and the kind words. I am so glad you got to see the shows. Golden Gate Park was very unexpected for me but was an incredible experience it was! Thank you for the insight from the ground!!!
I worked with these lads in the 80s - You do their unsaid emotions justice. The had aching bones and cut gingers wrapped in insulating tape and pints in the Crown replaced the death of kindness from society and the grevious loss of their family. You give a voice to them. 😅
I am glad you enjoyed the show in Ballyvaughan. I had a great time in the County Mayo and I am really looking forward to coming back! Thank you for the kind words and stopping by the channel.
This song always hits me hard and you did a fantastic job, love the DIY hi-vis. Needed this for my drive-in to site today, another day and another hole to be dug. Appreciate you!
A wonderful rendition. Interesting that I've come across this a few days after a English gent proudly proclaimed that the English colonial project was a force for good... Never quite that simple...
Do you know the model for the lav inside the guitar? I've been doing a lot of research, and hard to find ones that are good for the inside of a guitar, and the ones that go on the outside have big battery packs many of them anyway.
Also, I would recommend getting something that suits what you do. I can't stress enough that the microphone, especially ones this small don't decide the character of what is being recorded, I have used my phone before and I sound exactly the same, it's just not as clear. Hope this helps, Josh
@@mcb6108 I was just in Brighton performing not long ago! Would love to go back! Make sure you are subscribed to my mailing list to keep up to date with when i'm back in Brighton!

So good! Thanks for responding in the other video. So you have a lav for your vocal and a lav inside your guitar? Sounds GREAT!! What recorder do you use for the lavs?
A very powerful version of a legendary song. We must do away with this system that mutilates the (often immigrant) working class. Solidarity to all who struggle
You don’t have to be sure of it, you’ve done the job. He wasn’t sure either. This isn’t a trade for gratification, it’s one you’re meant to bring to us

it's just a normal one, the same as the one for the voice

Hard work done mainly by the Irish.
So good! Thanks for responding in the other video. So you have a lav for your vocal and a lav inside your guitar? Sounds GREAT!! What recorder do you use for the lavs?
yea that's right. Ah, the recorder is just an old zoom one that is a nightmare but I make it work
