    Can't believe how great a singer your mum is. Best I've heard for years.
    Really really great.
    As a "Glasgow Rangers Supporter" I'll never be able to live this down.
    Let's hear more.

    Bloody hell! I've just been listening to every version of this song I could find on RUclips and this lovely lady-with-her-son-who-doesn't-know-how-to-paint-a-wall sings it the best. I just sat and did a proper boo-hoo! This video was put up 13 years ago - I'd love to know if those walls have been painted yet.

    Great rendition - somehow i think, given the poignant history the song is recording, that this is one of the truest renditions of the song. This woman deserves a recording studio and a big audience!

    what got me was--i like the son, he's not ashamed to stand up for his mom, who is lovely, we all get along in life mind ya, and she did an awesome job on the song!!! God bless her, and her son!

    I've come back to this video dozens of times over the years (usually after a few glasses of tizer) and I have to say, this version always takes my breath away. This lady is magnificent (and the picker does a great job!)

    December, 2023. Not sure how I got here, but here I am tuning into a 15 year old video of a mother/son, who look more like brother and sister, covering a favorite song of mine. The vocals are beautiful. There's something so charming about this. Simplistic, and organic. I'm glad they left the lyric and guitar glitches in. And, I like the walls in the room just the way they are. And, the greeting cards taped onto the door are a nice touch. I don't even mind that the guitar accomnimant is a bit too loud. Makes it real. Well, maybe, they could've slowed the song down a bit, then I could hear mum sing a little longer. That would've been extra sweet. I hope mother and son are well, and still singing and playing, and wishing all a Merry Christmas!

    Ah wow that was so lovely to listen to. I put my headphones on, sat back and enjoyed the singing, guitar playing and the connection between a mother and son. Lovely. Really lovely. It's amazing how such a famous song such as this catches you in the gut. The patriotism feelings flow and the proud feelings of being Irish is such a blessing. Around the globe, and just my opinion, but the Irish songs of the distant past and not so distant past have to be some of the best in the world. Thank you both of you for putting a smile on my face. "Slan go foile macarra".If my spelling is correct. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
