His voice is fantastic 👏 Liam was a great friend of my father, the late Joe donohue who led the travellers campaign in cherry orchard.. makes me very proud to be a irish traveller!! Great video
Great music! I sub'd because of your Galway girl video in the airport. It was the absolute best version of that song I've ever heard. Please please please record that song with those fellows. Truly music for the soul.
Love the song and the way it was performed, also the historic footage that shows the old traveling wagons and the people. The theme of the song is quite universal and sadly also still actual.. these days the travelers are Roma and alike but their way of living is quite the same. And still frowned upon. With the loss of most seizonal labour and great works where unschooled people were needed, they have been driven even further into the margins of society... and evictions still take place.
So appreciate your music. Can't help but think, if those who sung the ballads and songs, in time long since gone by, could hear you and your music, today, they would probably smile, and either say, or think, you are doing them and their music proud. Gretchen B.
I tried to google the 59 protest but there's nothing useful. Could anyone point me toward some resources please. Also, what a beautiful tragic evocative song. Thank you Paddy and Daoiri for a haunting interpretation.
many Irish in America. Likely railroad men. In Nebraska, many Irish named places :) At Swenson center for genealogy, I went thru many Irish names but I was looking for Swedes or Finns.
this is why culture is so important

A beautiful rendition of a very powerful song. A window into our history, a history that should not be forgotten.
God but that's a beautiful version, a fine tribute to Mr Weldon and one of my own favourite songs. Thanks Daoiri and keep it lit sham!

Ah fook’n LOVE Pikeys...
Is this an old traditional irish traveller song about badly tarmacing peoples drives and stealing their lawn mowers from their sheds at night?
