To be fair, it’s our boy Colm that’ll use up the whole damn bottle. Why else would the Irishman need to sit in the water in the sun, but to keep from burning up? In any case, this collab was an absolute delight!
I loved Colm going and getting a beer in the middle of the song! Saw you guys when you came through Colorado a few weeks ago. Colm was the perfect opening act, and you guys were great too. Come back soon, please!
Gasp!!! Andy really *does* have two beautiful, hairy legs!! But in all seriousness, this is absolutely awesome!! What a great setting for a great song! ToT I’m so so glad I got to see you (twice!) in Colorado!! Thank you wholeheartedly for giving us landlocked pioneers all the shanty love! Colm and the Johns might be Europeans but they’re definitely American treasures!❤
THAT is exactly why "folk" music is so special in my mind: it's pure. A group of talented people with simple instruments making beautiful music -- and cooling their bits in the pool. ;-) Well done. Thanks for sharing this.
YAY! I'm so happy to see a real collab - so far it's only been mash-up vids on RUclips, and this is THE REAL THING!!!!! My favorite band and my favorite angry Irishman.
Can somebody please explain to me how on earth is it possible to record such great quality audio in a live outdoor setting with no mics in view? I think my head just exploded. Oh, and the music is adequate, of course.
I can explain this, since I’m the one who recorded it! I was standing in the pool with a zoom recorder and a shotgun mic pointed at the band. Most of the “mixing” was done by arranging the band in the right places to get it to sound balanced in the microphone. A little cleanup, EQ, and compression in post and Bob’s your uncle.
@@Kitzy thank you for the explanation! I still think you're a wizard and this was advanced black magic. The double bass especially sounds so crisp! Apart from a little background noise, I couldn't tell this isn't a studio recording. The band is so lucky to have you! Edit: oh, wait a minute, I just noticed the bass has a mic on it 😀 now the crispness of the bass notes makes sense!
Ah, I missed the mic hiding on that black bass... I wondered, because I'd had the same thought - if this is being captured acoustically from a single mic like it sounds, there's no way the bass is that full from all the way in the back! 🤣 Still though, massive props for the recording and mixing - it's nicely balanced and clean, while maintaining that raw, earthy feel. Bravo!
@@JoshZanders yeah, I only noticed the mic on the fourth or fifth play, it blends so well with the black bass. Awesome sound engineering job, really! As a (very amateur) musician I believe that sound engineers don't get enough credit for their skills.
Actually fun fact, we didn’t use that mic on the bass at all, but we do use it for the live shows. That said, I did take a DI of the bass using a cable that you can’t see thanks to the miracles of movie magic. Ultimately, they’re all great musicians who do an excellent job of balancing themselves which makes my job very easy.
This is pure delight!🤩 Saw you all perform Northwest Passage live in SF, and you guys are amazing together. Thanks so much for bringing Colm McGuinness with you on tour, it was so fun to see him play live; he pours his heart and soul into his set. Best wishes to you all!
THE COLLAB OF THE DECADE!! I love Colms vocals so much, what a lovely rendition of this fun as heck song! Here’s hoping for more Colm-labs in the future! 😂
Near Banbridge town, in the County Down One evening last July Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín And she smiled as she passed me by She looked so neat from her two bare feet To the sheen of her nut-brown hair Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself To make sure I was standing there From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay And from Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the sweet Cailín That I met in the County Down As she onward sped I shook my head And I gazed with a feeling queer And I said, says I, to a passerby "Who's your one with the nut-brown hair?" He smiled at me, and with pride says he "She's the gem of old Ireland's crown Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann And the star of the County Down." From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay And from Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the sweet Cailín That I met in the County Down She'd a soft brown eye and A look so sly and a smile like the rose in June And you held each note from her auburn throat As she lilted lamenting tunes At the pattern dance you'd be in a trance As she skipped through a jig or reel When her eyes she'd roll, as she'd lift your soul And your heart she would likely steal From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay And from Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the sweet Cailín That I met in the County Down [break] At the harvest fair she'll be surely there And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes With my hat cocked right and my shoes shined bright For a smile from the nut-brown Rose No horse I'll yoke, or pipe I smoke 'til the rust in my plough turn brown And a smiling bride by my own fireside Sits the star of the County Down From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay And from Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the sweet Cailín That I met in the County Down From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay And from Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the sweet Cailín That I met in the County Down
I realized that a few weeks ago! I found out that he talks about his new mic at the end of his My Mother Told Me cover, and he did a podcast with Peter Barber not too long ago. And his voice is smooth like velvet.
I was lucky enough to get to speak to him after the Santa Fe show. It sounds like about what you expect but also much softer. He was an absolutely stellar performer who had the entire place cracking up with laughter. Highlight of the show!
I would love if you bring Colm to the Eastern US next time you all are in the states. So far I’ve been able to catch your shows in Pittsburgh and Nashville.
Hell yeah. This is pretty good. We are so close to recreating the Irish rovers, can’t replace they won’t be topped but this cover is pretty dam high up there.
Hello??? I'd always thought to myself, man, wouldn't it be cool for Colm and the Longest Johns to sing together, they're some of my favorite artists. And then this casually passes by a couple weeks ago? You guys sound absolutely lovely together. So glad I popped onto youtube today.
One of my favourite groups collabing with one of my favourite singers on one of my favourite songs!!! Seriously, what are the odds!!!😍 Lots of Love from Denmark😁
When at the Egyptian -- Walk Like An Egyptian! And I like how, when Colm walked off, he brought beers in for the whole band! ('Cept he didn't ...! :D )
I think I may have a new favorite song... I love this! Loved seeing you all in CO a few weeks ago. I hope to be able to attend more of your concerts in the future!
Thanks for having me and sitting me in the shade, lads! 🫶
this is amazing, keep doing what you do best love y'all
Colm, you are my favorite artist, and the longest johns are my favorite band. I need more collaborations!
2 of my favorite singers/groups! Love it!
This is definitely in the top 5 of Colms collabs for me.
Thank you all for this gem.👏👏👏
The tour collab is an absolute joy! So happy for you all.😄
LOOK AT THESE LADS
Just killin' it!
When's your turn for the collab?
Oooh this needs to happen. @@JasonXLV1
Are you next?
There isn't enough sunscreen in the world for these guys there.
Props to the camera guy for being able to record without overexposure.
LOL
To be fair, it’s our boy Colm that’ll use up the whole damn bottle. Why else would the Irishman need to sit in the water in the sun, but to keep from burning up? In any case, this collab was an absolute delight!
I think it’s fair to say that this is a collaboration we all need.
Agreed
So jealous of the west coast for getting this on tour, though Sean Dagher was also amazing!
I loved Colm going and getting a beer in the middle of the song!
Saw you guys when you came through Colorado a few weeks ago. Colm was the perfect opening act, and you guys were great too. Come back soon, please!
Same to everything in this comment! 😊
When i wanted more colm and longest johns, i didnt think i would get them together
For the whole tour! If you can get tickets (curse my luck).
Gasp!!! Andy really *does* have two beautiful, hairy legs!!
But in all seriousness, this is absolutely awesome!! What a great setting for a great song! ToT I’m so so glad I got to see you (twice!) in Colorado!! Thank you wholeheartedly for giving us landlocked pioneers all the shanty love!
Colm and the Johns might be Europeans but they’re definitely American treasures!❤
like the reference to got no beard
Huh. He actually does.
What?? My favorite Irish song sung by my favorite Irish singer with my favorite sea shanty band?!?!? THIS IS GREAT!!!
Brilliant collab. Love you lads
THAT is exactly why "folk" music is so special in my mind: it's pure. A group of talented people with simple instruments making beautiful music -- and cooling their bits in the pool. ;-) Well done. Thanks for sharing this.
YAY! I'm so happy to see a real collab - so far it's only been mash-up vids on RUclips, and this is THE REAL THING!!!!! My favorite band and my favorite angry Irishman.
I want to thank all the crew and BTS folks who risked drowning and burning to dealth in the US sun for this video
Ooh interesting, after finding out Colm is touring with Miracle of Sound next year I was meaning to check out his music
You won't regret it. He's amazing
He's great!
He is my favorite artist!
He's touring with MoS? Oh that fucks
but yeah he's great, The Last Length is a great place to start I think
Holy crap I can't believe I am actually seeing this collab and IT'S FOR ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS
I'd love to hear a full studio version of this, it's incredible lads 💙💙💙💙
Colm is Colming it as usual!
I was thinking yesterday "hey I wonder if TLJ and Colm will ever do a collab?" and lo and behold! A collab!
Sunscreen ALERT
Irish lads in the pool
🔥🔥🔥
Yes!
Stay adequatly handsome.
An appropriate collab compliment 😂

My two very Favorites! I'm so sad that I cant see them in person. D=
Storms but my favorite artist and favorite band, Toured together and I couldn't go... But at least I have this collaboration to sooth my sorrow.
Y'all were an absolute BLAST in LA! Was so glad I got to see you guys together live. Cannot recommend enough!
I’ve been waiting for a collab between you guys for so long. It was worth the wait
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful, love the sentiment, love the harmonies definitely 10th October adequate
I needed to see Colm and the Johns together and finally I get another!

thank you to the flamingoes for making this possible.
Flamingo solo!
Been watching Colm for years now. I love his voice. I love your guy's playing. This is the best of two worlds
Back to the days I knew all Dubliners songs I love this, and have followed the Longest John's. Excellent ❤️ 😊
Happy to see that man wearing Our Lady's Miraculous Medal!

Oh, that's the craic! Thanks for all you do!

I love that pun... But I also hate it... But... I also love it.
Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
One evening last July
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so neat from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself
To make sure I was standing there
From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Cailín
That I met in the County Down
As she onward sped I shook my head
And I gazed with a feeling queer
And I said, says I, to a passerby
"Who's your one with the nut-brown hair?"
He smiled at me, and with pride says he
"She's the gem of old Ireland's crown
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
And the star of the County Down."
From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Cailín
That I met in the County Down
She'd a soft brown eye and
A look so sly and a smile like the rose in June
And you held each note from her auburn throat
As she lilted lamenting tunes
At the pattern dance you'd be in a trance
As she skipped through a jig or reel
When her eyes she'd roll, as she'd lift your soul
And your heart she would likely steal
From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Cailín
That I met in the County Down
[break]
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
With my hat cocked right and my shoes shined bright
For a smile from the nut-brown Rose
No horse I'll yoke, or pipe I smoke
'til the rust in my plough turn brown
And a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Cailín
That I met in the County Down
From Bantry Bay to the Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet Cailín
That I met in the County Down
We are witnessing history being made here, fellas. Take a picture!
Also, am I the only McGuinness fan who has never heard his regular speaking voice?
oh no i just realized you're right!
I realized that a few weeks ago! I found out that he talks about his new mic at the end of his My Mother Told Me cover, and he did a podcast with Peter Barber not too long ago. And his voice is smooth like velvet.
I heard it just the other day and just kinda paused and stared off into space and was like...Wow.
I was lucky enough to get to speak to him after the Santa Fe show. It sounds like about what you expect but also much softer. He was an absolutely stellar performer who had the entire place cracking up with laughter. Highlight of the show!
Not the only one! I was surprised as well! I didn't realise how much of a difference the mic made
Just heard you guys play this in Phoenix last night, you guys ruled!
Looking forward to seeing Colm live on the MoS tour next year :)
I'm freakin' hyped that y'all are touring together! I'm looking forward to seeing you live!
A very"cool" recording. Loved it.🤣😂🤩
Can't wait to see you tonight at the fabulous Tumbleroot in Santa Fe!
I would love if you bring Colm to the Eastern US next time you all are in the states. So far I’ve been able to catch your shows in Pittsburgh and Nashville.
Saw you folks in Vancouver and had an absolute blast! WOOF WOOF WOOF
Hell yeah. This is pretty good. We are so close to recreating the Irish rovers, can’t replace they won’t be topped but this cover is pretty dam high up there.
One of my favourites! And I do like the setting. Thanks, all!
Glad to see you lads enjoying the US west coast weather❣️
I was at the show last night and was so excited when I saw this on your set list!
Absolutely adequate!
Been listening to Colm's version all week wishing you boys would do a cover too only for this to appear. Bravo
made my day. my week. my month even
Hello??? I'd always thought to myself, man, wouldn't it be cool for Colm and the Longest Johns to sing together, they're some of my favorite artists. And then this casually passes by a couple weeks ago?
You guys sound absolutely lovely together. So glad I popped onto youtube today.
Finally. My two favourite playlists are now connected!
Been waiting for this collab for a long time. Please make more!
My day has just been made. Best colab ever
I've wanted this collab for so long! What a folksy bop! Thank you LJ and Colm.
All my fav lads in one place!!!

Absolute PERFECTION.
We need more of these collabs
You cant get more adequate than this! Lovely.
One of my favourite groups collabing with one of my favourite singers on one of my favourite songs!!! Seriously, what are the odds!!!😍
Lots of Love from Denmark😁
Love it, guys! The chemistry is definitely there! Thanks for the show at the Troubadour, it was such a great night. Safe travels back home.
Some of my favorite artists doing a song together is always a happy sight, would love to hear you guys play with the Dead South as well
When at the Egyptian -- Walk Like An Egyptian!
And I like how, when Colm walked off, he brought beers in for the whole band! ('Cept he didn't ...! :D )
I’ve sung this great song many times with my band. You guys certainly did it justice!
I have longed for this crossover to happen!
I’m glad I get to listen to this while I have service, love from western North Carolina
2 of my favourite artist and a song I love, I have had this on repeat all morning!! Fantastic collaboration, lads
I loved you all here in Seattle. I'll happily see any/all of you whenever you come back
So glad to have seen all you fine folks in San Francisco. Absolutely brilliant show.
The dream team I'm very happy you did a song with Colm, I've wanted that for quite some time. I wouldn't mind more of that actually.
Well there's a collaboration I didn't know I needed. Fantastic!
Yes!
Was so gutted Colm wasn't in Birmingham this year, was desperate to see him, would of kept me out the pub and missing the first song too!!!
