for a short period in the early ninties I lived in london and on a show called blue peter this song was performed... I have not heard it since, but "Johny is the fairest man..." has been stuck in my head for more than a decade. thanks so much
Oh, yeah, and that lad on the pipes inspired me to try and mend me pipes so that I can get started on practising again. The sound of those uilleann pipes... magic.
I have heard the Planxty perform this song - and feel in with it instantly. Cara 'ere does it much more light heartedly, but, as with all her other stuff, she is excellent. I love this.
I saw her do an awesome and a bit more uptempo version of this at the Helix Dublin it was Amazing! Too bad only like 50 people showed up to her concert...
Words can’t describe.
This is the perfect way to pass some time - looking at Cara and listening to uillean pipes - a sensual feast.
We all loved Planxty, and then, Cara's version: it makes me full of hope!!! Great !!!

Excellent performance !! Phalaïna

Is there any instrument in any part of the world that can equal the uillean pipes for pure raw beauty.

This lovely voice is just made for a duet with Mark Knopfler
