For me personally this song is not about the singer or the instruments etc. It’s about the men and women down through the ages that fought for our country against oppression. I owe them a huge debt.🇮🇪💚
Thursday 12 May 1921, (five years to the day since the executions of Seán MacDiarmada and James Connolly) and in memory of Patrick Dalton, Paddy Walsh, Jerry Lyons. (Not forgetting young Con Dee of course). R.I.P. Beautifully performed as always Daoiri. Up The Kingdom!☘️☘️☘️☘️
Patrick Dalton was my granny's uncle, went to the shrine in gortaglanna on the 100 year anniversary last year, RIP to all our brave soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom 💚
R.I.P to both my grandfather's Francis Kelley and Frederick Neary, And to my grandmother's Ellen Mulcahy and Bernadette Coffin, who came from that beautiful country. I wish I lived there and not the states.
These men weren't fighting for ideology but for hearth and home and family; their identity as Irishmen which had been withheld from them for 800+ years.
The line that is often sung by various singers "'And side by side they fought and died '' is totally wrong. Those lads were unarmed there was no gun battle,they were executed. Peggy Sweeneys version ""and side by side they bravely died " is the only version that i know of that describes the true events.May those lads Rest In Peace.
Surely it refers to their previous actions as part of the armed struggle? I mean they weren't the ICA, they were the IRA. The clue is in the line "Republican bold". 🤔😉
Evaluate the place they met their deaths - they were removed from the road and executed in a blind spot on a curve in the hedge that couldn’t be seen from either end of it - were they led there or did they have foreknowledge? No chance of coincidence in that location

For me, it's about a youngfella running 3 miles with a bullet in his leg.
@@jj12313 And after all that he died in far away Chicago in 1967. And who makes the rules today?
As an English man I apologise for all our shite nobility did to you god bless
Cannot get enough of this guy's voice. Why isn't he better known??!! Brilliant.
Fully agree

Our brothers shall not be forgotten or may I die fighting for their memory

Chills. What a perfect rendition of this bit of Irish history and culture.
R.I.P to both my grandfather's Francis Kelley and Frederick Neary,
And to my grandmother's Ellen Mulcahy and Bernadette Coffin, who came from that beautiful country.
I wish I lived there and not the states.

So gorgeous singing and beautiful song ever Daoiri this exquisite ever awesome on Bouzouki to like very much thank you
Never heard this song or singer until today. Both beautiful and powerful.
Check out his version of The Foggy Dew. While I love Sinead O'Connors version. I think I like his better.
What a beautiful voice!
Fantastic concert with the great Lùnasa in Amerikay! Daoirí is the new voice of Irish folk!
Fantastic greetings from the south
Well sung. a great song.
Love this guys voice
That little bit toward the end describing Dalton’s view as he faced the sky and took one last look at his beloved Ireland…😢
Absolutely fabulous!
Fantastic! I love it ❤️
Irish Bouzouki is a good sounding Instrument. And the singing is great too
Beautiful voice
What a voice brings this sad tale to life.
How can he even sing this? I can't even listen to it without a massive lump in my throat. "For Ireland I'll die as I face the sky..." 🇮🇪
The Dalton boys were my grandmothers cousins.
These men weren't fighting for ideology but for hearth and home and family; their identity as Irishmen which had been withheld from them for 800+ years.
Lovely! Really lovely. 🤗
this is so amazing... why oh why is he so "unknown" over here in germany? It is so beautiful ... just amazing.
I am 76 and my Mother would sing this to me as a 5 -6 year old with obvious results.
A big fan of Daoiri fabulous singer Love the song
Absolutely class
A Legend of a man..
My water bottle just turned into a glass of Guinness
Good man.
WOW.
Hearhear John 💚

@@boysofwexford Correct, it does refer to "previous events" where they fought side by side.
@@boysofwexfordThe correct lyrics are "Republic bold"
"The Banshee cried as her sone they died, in the valley of Knockanure"
The tune he is using is unfmailiar . . . . Was the intro in Irish or Gaelic?
may be its ai
I raise a toast to my republican brothers who lost their lives on that day
