Jesus lads…memories of the late seventies and early 80s flooding back . Myself and a whole generation lived in squats and worked for Murphy,Clipfine, Mulvaney et al . We pimped ourselves for day work in Kilburn and drank in the Archway Tavern and shifted in The Galtee Mor.
Great rendition of the Dominick Behan song. Some family. Brother Brendan wrote The AuldTriangle , The Patriot Game and uncle Peadar Kearney penned the National anthem.
All that you have said is true, we may have rubbed shoulders at the great place called The Galtee More
Had to go to London myself in 2010.. looking for work down in Cricklewood ended up on the bedford motorway , met a lot of guys who left in the 80s... good storys and hard luck storys but they always looked after there own. Helped us young guys coming over after the economic crash back home and pointed us in the right direction seeing as they had been threw it all. lovley song.
With respect your experience in 2010 is not even the same world as being Irish in Britain pre 21st century!
Not even remotely!
Even those who left in the 80's (a tough time being Irish in itself) had the rights of Lords compared to Irish emigrants of previous decades.
Pre 21st century and a great flux of 'other immigrants' allowed the Irish to relax and not be prioritized for ignorant engerland / british oafs.
It was all too often a very nasty place and constantly demoralizing (debasing paddy jokes for example were national tv, constant relentless weekly prime time) place to be if you were Irish.
No comparison what so ever to the rights you would of had!
Back then the Irish were around dog level no rights or avenues to dare complain and purposely created imaged dogs so by the perverse invented british state, a state and culture about as credibly old as the USA.
If there's one thing that can be said for the Irish is we look after our own abroad.....if we could do the same at home it'd be something
Savage ssssss#
@@blueporta I will never forget the day I got the start down in Cricklewood. Getting into the van at 6am and the excitement of this new city but huddling around a generator at 7am trying to get the hands warm was not fun ha. It was the Irish community and characters you meet on the way that made it special because it was a home from home. Just a great life experience, Its nice there songs and fellas like this who remember it and sing about it so well. All the best Steve
The Murphyia
I think Ronnie Drew is grinning down at this
Can't get over this rendition of the song. This is my 5th time round.
good on you, it is my 27th in 4 weeks
This is and always will be the best version of this song. Gives me goosebumps
Nah...the Dubs have the best version.
Frank Harte and Donal Lunny's version is best. This is great nonetheless.
These boys are blessed with such a unique Irish expression I love them 🙌☘️🇮🇪🙌 nothing like them. Go wan Dundalk 💪🏻
There is a line straight from The Clancy's and Tommy Makem throught the Dubliners, Shane MacGown a bit of Christy Moore and these lads. This is the salt of Irish singing and music. Simple yet brilliant harmonies, go for it lads.
Can’t beat Shane macgowan
Not trying to be funny, but do you even understand what a harmony is? I don't think you do.
@@Kloppsserialbottlers I was referring to many of their other songs. I am aware that this is a solo effort by Charles. The Wallopers are much more than this classic.
Exactly !
These guys are the brilliance of irish music/song finding a new expression!
Would love to hear a version of McAlpines Fusiliers, great stuff
Headed for the big, big, big time.....the best stuff I have heard in years..congrats lads........ye walloped it...
Have you no ears
I’ve said before and as a corkman I don’t like to say this but the best to sing ballads are the Dubs by far.
@@finneire2081 couldnt disagree more, the dubs voice ruin alot of classic songs, either bogger or south Ireland accent is best
Lorcan Cushen so your telling me likes of Luke kelly ruined it paddy Reilly ruined songs go away they are far better than anything I have heard from the south
@@finneire2081 they're actually from Dundalk. We can't claim them all
@@finneire2081 ..these boys are class
would love to hear you guys play some more classics from the dubs, clancy bros, wolfe tones, chieftains, et al.
Had to immigrate to the States myself back in 2018. I was 17. The Americans wreck me head most days about their great grandfather x4 who came from Ireland. But they shine brightly telling me of how they clobbered together to make a life for themselves. I find myself things I'm doing the same thing. Miss the motherland like no tomorrow but life here is good and I'm wanting to prosper! Tíochfidh ar La. Éire will always have my heart ❤️ love to all the past Irish men and women who used their new found wealth to keep the motherland floating ❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪
I listen to this daily.
me too!
Me 3
& me to also, excellent, brilliant, i love it and i mostly listen to hard rocking music
Brilliant.. Stands up to any other version
Authentic rendition of this great immigrant song. Love the Mary Wallopers! Three very talented lads.
I first came across these lads on my You tube thread,very different very unique looking for a man who has listened to Irish music most of my life these lads our fantastic.
Proper Irish - great song and well executed
Did you guys write that song?? Its excellent
@@ifIgetinstigatedimsorray written by Dominic Behan, Brendan's brother
I was there in the 80s and worked alongside these men in the trenches. You do the era justice and give a perfect voice to the often unspoken emotions and hard knocks that these men endured.
U worked amongst weaklings in trenches. Immediately I had my time back in world wars I would've sent alot more irish into the place cos they need to be fumigated
Did you "remodel" London as well?
great tune, cheers from upstate NY.
all the way from Prague, fair play to ye lads. very few things could make me home sick but this has to one of em
cant believe I'm only coming across this video now. What a tune!!
I'm American, so some words are hard to identify. But the heart of the song is so strong. I will search for the lyrics to bridge my heart to my mind. 💚💚🙈🙉🙊💚💚
🤠🇺🇸🤝🇨🇮😁
Here you go! Different singers vary the lyrics a bit. The song was written by Dominic Behan, who wrote several songs that have become part of the Irish folk canon. Perhaps his best-known song is McAlpine's Fusiliers, which is about the same topic as this one. The Dubliners made McAlpine's Fusiliers their own, and this is a brilliantly rowdy live recording of it: ruclips.net/video/xEk37t4LWp0/видео.html
Building Up and Tearing England Down
Oh, I won a hero’s name with McAlpine and Costain
With Fitzpatrick, Murphy, Ash and the Wimpey's gang
I've been often on the road on my way to draw the dole
When there's nothing left to do for Johnny Laing
And I used to think that God made the mixer, pick and hod
So that Paddy might know hell above the ground
I've had gangers big and tough
Tell me tear it all out rough
When you're building up and tearing England down.
I remember Carrier Jack with his hod upon his back
And he swore one day he'd set the world on fire
And his face they've never seen
Since his shovel it cut clean
Through the middle of a big high tension wire.
And I saw auld Bald McCall from the big flyover fall
Into a concrete mixer spinning round
Though it was not his intent, he gained a fine head of cement
When he was building up and tearing England down.
I was on the hydro dam on the day that Jack McCann
Got the better of his stammer in a week
He fell from the shuttering jamb
And that poor auld stuttering man
He was never, ever more inclined to speak.
Oh, no more like Robin Hood will he roam through Cricklewood
Or dance around the pubs of Camden Town
Oh, but let no man complain that no navvy dies in vain
When he's building up and tearing England down.
In a tunnel underground, a young Limerick man was found;
He was built into the new Victoria line.
And when bonus gang had passed sticking through the concrete cast
Was the face of little Charlie Joe Devine.
And the ganger man McGurk said “big Paddy ate the work,”
When a gaspipe burst and he flew off the ground
Well, they swear he said “Don't slack!
It won’t be long until I’m back
Keep on building up and tearing England down!"
So come all you navvies bold, who do think that English gold
Is just waiting to be taken from each sod
Or the likes of you and me will ever get an OBE
Or a knighthood for good service to the hod.
They're the concrete master race there to keep you in your place
And a ganger man to kick you to the ground
If you ever try to take part of what the bosses make
When you're building up and tearing England down.
If you ever try to take part of what the bosses make
When you're building up and tearing England down.
@@anto5424 Thank you 🙏💗
Best version of this song I've heard,,,
Makes me think of my Grandad John immediately. Great work lads.
Amazing voice! Spot on. A great find. Agression in this voice. Lovely
These lads are on to something
applause from the states.
Best folk/trad group in recent times. Heading big places. ❤️
I keep seeing people say they would love to hear you do this song or that song. Well here's what I say, lads. Do them all and don't leave out a damned one. Just don't forget to share them with us. Salute and respect from a red, white, and blue blooded Texan of indiscriminate Gaelic heritage.
Here here brother
I’m unable to find suitable vocabulary to be able to describe how brilliantly perfect this is. All in there, everything anyone needs to understand.. Just perfect!
Brill, JUST BRILL.
So so so good. Amazing guys. I’d pay to see yous any day of the week.
There is a stunning beauty in the banjo and guitar playing vocals the story of this song. Most Irish folksongs are based on true happenings, on hard times, and the brutality that people had to suffer over centuries and inflicted on them by their nearest dearest neighbor England. The Mary Wallopers are the band to carry on this great tradition of storytelling, history teaching and at the same time giving the best of fun to al the people
Love these lads!
amazing work, beautiful!
Great Song well delivered!
Brillant lads keep up the work
Lovely lads ☘❤

Seriously brilliant
Simply sublime

Lovely song and this is the best version I've heard. I've gone back to it time and again for months and I reckon it's the tenor banjo that really makes it. Anyone able to find/figure out the tabs for the banjo part? Would love to give it a go.
Keep trucking lads

Class
we need the banjo tab badly!
Jaysus, i never liked this song at all before. Always felt any version i heard was boozy and too fast. This version puts the soul back into it again. The story that it was intended to be.
Ar Fheabhas / Top class
G’wan ya buachaill ya!
There was no health and safety or toolbox talks way back then
“There you go. There’s the song.”
Go on lads high grade folk
Fucken NAILED!
Check out the Crubeen version
'There you go, there's the song' he says. Someone else says 'Beautiful' and they are not wrong..
Giddy up
I did the same when I busked in Kingston upon Thames. Got a lot more interest and money if I put on an Irish accent. These guys are good keeping it up between songs.
Anyone have a banjo tab for this whatsoever??
Where's your video version lads?
God bless James Connolly
I help to dig it up ,
Are murphys still going strong
