Will never understand how people's lives are so hurried that they cannot stop for 5 minutes to listen. Such a beautiful voice Rachel has and Mary Black would have loved it this I know! Thank you kindly for sharing...
How on earth are people just walking past this!? Even the ones putting money in. I was transfixed and amazed by her voice and beautiful rendition of this classic song!
Rachel Croft reminds me of a young Bonnie Raitt playing to small crowds in a bar called 'Tulagi's' in Boulder CO 1973. I was a freshman at CU then. I knew she would go far. I get the same feeling each time I hear Rachel sing.. You've won me over as a true fan, Rachel, and I thank you most enthusiastically..
Moved from abroad to the Galway bay coast at midlife. Everyday I remember I live in a post card. If I were planning my funeral I would move heaven and earth to have you Rachel sing this at it. It wouldn’t surprise me if you are asked by Irish emigrants over England to so. Not just the song. YOU singing it.
You can really sing well! Lovely tone, lovely range and just pure & crystal clear.Keep singing no matter what. It's hard to make a living singing and competition is fierce but just remember - you have a great voice and it is worth all the obstacles to overcome in this world. You have that gift of voice!
When I was this young lady’s age I probably would not have stopped either with the idea I’ll have time for this later. Now I’m 74 all I would like to do is stop and listen because I now know how little time we all are given
Chris Granger i was literally thinking i womdwr how many people get misty eyed listening to songs like this and then i read your post. I feel better now ;)
I echo the comments below, how can anyone just pass by? This illistrates the major flaw in our modern society, its not our differences, it is our inability to appreciate how beautiful we are. Rachel you are beautiful 😍 and your thank you and sweet smile makes my day and I'm not even there!
I've seen Mary sing this live many times . Rachel hit every note perfectly ( even in the cold wind !!! ) Living near York , I must make the effort to go and throw a few ££££ in the collection :-)
Just came across this beautiful version of song for Ireland. Who is this immensely talented young lady. Absolutely beautiful voice. This young lady needs to be in a recording studio.
Thank you for this. I heard this song only once during our two-week stay in April, but it quickly became a favorite. This is the most beautiful version I've heard. Jim
Oh WOW! I just stumbled across this. I'm a huge fan of Mary Blacks version(s) and your voice has many similarities, yet a number of unique characteristics. Very nice inflection on phrases, and just lovely tone despite the many distractions that could have easily distracted you. I hope you become a huge hit on the British Isles and around the world!
@@deeryker You are hurtful. Try doing that singing without a band and electronic enhancement like autotune ,that all the big shots have. . Let's see your version, big guy.
@@tracykingston9668 hello Tracy,,you are the second Tracy to ever come into my life. The other one is Tracy Letts,, I directed the Irish premier of his play Killer Joe,,now a film with McConnaughty. He has written many other pieces and had had numerous film roles,,,he is genius status where writing is concerned. Now,,,this thing about me being hurtful,,,tch not my style when it comes to artists. I do however hurt other people,,,Im well known for sneaking into nursing homes and slashing the tyres on wheelchairs and crimping the tubes on oxygen tanks,,,its great to see a mass gasping of folk in wheelchairs with flat tyres Anyway,,back to Rachel, I did not hurt her,,she did not complain,,she just moaned to me about having a hangover.. Her rendition of the song on that day in York was like a dead march for folk on the way to the grave. I like music,,,I do music for fun,,I like fun do you?. I sing with very poor equipment and I write songs and sing other peoples songs. So ,,for a bit of fun ,,,go and drift through some of the 250 vids I have on da tube. I have written some of the most beautiful love songs in the world,,award winning material. Your challenge is to listen to my classics,,,lol,,,,,, try,,,,,,,She took her shoes off on the beach so I killed her,,,,or another love song called Yuki Song. You will be blown away..Another award winner which has just been chosen for a Spielberg film is Over the rainbow,,,its not the somewhere version,,its my original. Finally,,,another love song,,,,Ugly Love,,,really spectacular. Off ye go,,I bet your sorry ye told me I am a hurtful guy,,,Im a nice person. keep in touch lol
Rachel does much justice for this beautiful Irish song. God bless her heart!

A beautiful voice to honour Ireland! God bless you Rachel! 🙏
Wow . Absolutely one of the best versions of that song I've ever heard, what a voice.👏👏👏
that voice deserves an audience of thousands rather than a few disinterested shoppers
I would not be able to walk on by. I'd have to stop and listen
Yes, agreed....but the competition was an early recording by Mary Black....I very much love this one, too, just for the music and an beautiful voice.
For sure man, exceptional

What a beatyful proud woman singing one of the worlds best songs. Made my eyes so wet of joy. Thanks
I was in York one day and saw Rachel setting up. Her voice made me do an about turn. The quickest CD purchase of my life.
Thanks so much John, hope you enjoyed the CD!

A beautiful voice and a beautiful song that is even more beautiful when you realise it was written by an English couple, Phil and June Colclough.

Where is the "the British isles?" Do you mean Britain's islands?
It's the group of islands that are Britain, Ireland, and I believe The Isle Of Man too, along with a bunch of other small islands.
