Tom Barry is a grand hero.. glad to hear you mentioned him as one of the WwI soldiers who came back after the war to train soldiers in Ireland.. he was one of my Dads heroes ..
The Foggy Dew is beautiful.. and your explanation of how it was written was appreciated..
Btw.. your new background.. with the sound of a stream singing in the background.. is beyond beautiful🌹☘️

Irish History always brings me to tears.

I have commented as an Englishman about these gems of information, keep making these clips, your history is important, don't let anyone edit, censor or rewrite your history. Finally, in these difficult times for lreland, keep fighting. don't let your government destroy your culture and identity.
Davy, these clips are brilliantly informative; an Englishman,sure,but I am also a founder member of the "Dubliners Club" way back in the 60s- I have every one of their recordings,and often wanted more background detail for a number of their songs-you certainly have "come up with the goods"- keep them coming! Best regards,
Roland Birchby
As an American of direct (Swiney) Irish descent, I am thrilled to have recently found your channel!! I will continue subscribing.
Our family started coming to America very early as they were running from the long arm of the crown.
Thank you so much my friend 😊💚
In Germany this is regarded a typical irish folk sing since the 70ies, made popular by The Dubliners. I just looked it up and well, happy to understand it eventually.
How beautiful to have the waters of a stream tinkling in the background and not some YT commons ditty as so often.
Can’t beat the outdoors! 😊
Absolutely agree .. know its more difficult to manage .. but the videos you do ., especially the ones where you stand at the sites .. pull the viewers right back into the history., truly a memorable and surreal experience, this⚘☘
Love the fact that Charles was a native of my home county Antrim. Such a great detail in the lead up Davy really appreciate your hard work you put it to bring us this. Terrific as always ....your the man!! Go raibh maith agat 🇮🇪💚🍀✊
Thank you Peter 😊
Up Antrim - Up Belfast - Up Clonard!!!

Very informative. Thank you for the great work! -- Regards from a random Taiwanese
The "Foggy Dew" was written by Fr (later Canon) Charles O’Neill (1887-1963) from Portglenone, County Antrim, a priest of the Diocese of Down and Connor who was then a curate at St. Peter's Cathedral, Belfast, and later in life was parish priest of Kilcoo and later Newcastle, County Down. O'Neill was ordained in St. Patrick's College, Maynooth in 1912.
The music is from a manuscript that was in possession of Kathleen Dallat, sister of Michael Dallat of Ballycastle. That manuscript gives Carl Hardebeck as the arranger. It is the same air as the traditional love song The Moorlough Shore.
"The Foggy Dew" is a product of the political situation in Ireland in the aftermath of the Easter Rising and World War I.
One of my fav Irish songs.
One of my favourite songs . Is
Rebel heart by the wolfhounds
Thank you for the story behind this evocative song.
Excited for this one.
so good davy, so good. cheers boyo
Thank you!
As always; Great Work Davy!
Thanks again for another fantastic, Irish revolutionary history lesson!
This is one my most favorite beautifully moving, Irish revolutionary songs!
(This was one the first songs, I learned to play on the flute, too.)
Thanks again for this great history lesson, Davy!
I can't wait for your next Irish history lesson.
Thanks so much 😁
Easter 2024 so much has changed and so little. If we aren't all free no one is free.
R.I.P. Fenians, the world shall never forget your courage against slavery.
Could I have a prayer for my dear Mexico, whose people are extorted and pillaged by the narcos and corrupt?
This is so beautiful to know.
I hope I have not missed too much. I am in the hospital, but I made sure my phone went with me. Once I am back to work, I still want to get your book, I can hardly wait to read it.
Thank you, Davy
I hope you’re ok Sandi! 💚
@@davyholden just my bleeding ulcer acting up. I'll be okay. They gave me blood and it has stopped bleeding. Should be home in a couple of days.
Great Stuff Young Davy 🇮🇪🍀🇵🇸
Thank you bud!
Loved this. Just was listening to Sinéad O'Connor singing The Foggy Dew. Would like you to try to explain the early troubles that eventually led to Hunger Strike in Long Kesh. Sean South also deserves our undying respect and gratitude brother. Stay safe from County Antrim.
Really enjoying learning the origins of these songs. 👍
Great stuff Davy. Ty ✌
Brilliant story again bro,🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🕊️
Davy, could you break down Manic 2000😂
😂
I have family out there. I’m trying to ditch US and I hope I meet some lads out there. Cheers from west coast, USA😊
Thank you Go raibh Maith agat, I was wondering about the tune A Nation Once Again juxtapositioned against A Soldiers Song and if they both qualify as National Anthems?
Hi
Howdy
I know it more recent history and might be outside of your wheelhouse but I’d love a breakdown of Zombie by the cranberries
Great stuff sir
I love your informative videos. I do wonder if there's information about the animals that served alongside our countrymen. In one of the photos shown in this video, there was a dog with the men. I'd love to know about any service animals (dogs, horses, mules, etc) that assisted our lads.
Just read your comment .. and also wondered about the dog .. a video about them would be intriguing :)
Wow thank you so much for this incredibly interesting history
History of the James Connolly song and tune
Excellent! You're gorgeous. Your hair is beautiful!
My 1st cousins the Harrington brothers. Played in Newfoundland for years. Made several albums. Monto on the rock Cape spear. One of them is Paul harrigton.
I grew up in that area. Most of us in that part are diaspora Irish many of whom " got lost" while fishing for british merchants on the Grand Banks . Many's a dory that found it's way through the fog to Newfoundland shores but couldn't find the way back to the ship 😂
Brilliant, Davy! I am learning so much and I appreciate your work. Keep it up! Lord bless!
great video and wonderful explanation... however.. all I want to know is where you got that peacoat!
Great work you, thanks for sharing these❤
Ty for this bit of history. Love from St.John's Newfoundland! Sláinte
Well done thank you for that
My grand mother lost two brothers to world war 1. these people were proud of the men who fought. she would say, do not stare at a poppy or you will go blind. they would turn their heads away.in shame of that flower. nobody remembered them as British soldiers, they were remembered as family who died fighting. and would turn in their grave to be remembered as British soldiers. Councils all over Ireland are sneaking in monuments shaming these boys memory's. i hope some day all these monuments to British soldiers are dug up and sent over to England. with the council men tied to them.
How about an analysis o' 'The Croppy Boy' please. A Maoist composer in London made it into a sort of symphony?
Love this video!!!!
I hope everything works out with the flood. Thank you very much for your objective & informative videos.
How sad, poor men, I hope they find eternal rest.
Brilliant video again 👏 👌 👍
Thank you, Love! Question for you
I learned that line as "their BONES we'd keep where the Fenians sleep" and I've seen in now as 'names' and here 'graves.'
Are you aware of what the original said?
I'm finicky about it because I believe bones are like hard drives and switching BONES with NAMES or, better GRAVES dilutes so much of the power of that line.
Thank you! Love your channel!
My bloodline stems from catholic Irishmen who *voluntarily* fought for the Union Jack in the beginning of 1914, they then resided in England probably due to the 1916 rising.
It’s crazy to think I would have an entirely different culture, identity and alignment had they simply stayed at home and instead committed to the revolution, the butterfly effect eh?
🍀
Its a great song
*I have a recording of the Irish tenor John McCormick singing "The Foggy Dew," but it was a romantic love song and had nothing to do with the Irish rebellion. Could someone please explain the reason that the same melody has two completely different lyrics?*
Will you be out making this I wana see you (also hopefully that dosnt sound like in stalking you)
Haha I’m down there every Monday usually
Ah Luke Kelly made the song a classic waaaaay before Sinead O'Connor did.
Some of the bravest men to ever exist.
I wish you'd gone thru' the song line-by-line as well.........
Would u please do history of Danny Boy❤
Best version is sung by Luke Kelly, RIP
Bros dressed like the far cry 4 antagonist and I'm all for it

As an American I can see your very passionate about your country as I'm very passionate about mine. My compliments sir. 🇮🇪 🇺🇸
Conor Mcgregor brought me here..

The Foggy Twink
Gaels! Resist the second Plantation of Ireland! IRELAND BELONGS TO THE IRISH 🇮🇪.💪
Im algerian but I love IRELAND SO MUCH IT MUST BE UNITEED
Are the people in the north who have been there since the 1600s not Irish? Do they not get a mention in Irish history? The 36th ulster division slaughtered like lambs at the somme?
I am unfortunately child of War and Foggy dew is waking emotions buried deep in my heart emotions that6 changed my genes and whole beeing. Sadly, it is timeless, Jesus help us.
Luke Kelly version is better than Sinead
It's pretty good alright. But whenever I hear Sinead passionately mourning those "fearless men but few" it brings tears to my eyes.
Except they were stoppable. Weren't they?
