I'm a geordie, consider myself akin to celtic heritage, and my great grand parents were Irish. My late brother loved everything Irish, this is for you Ed ❤️🎶😢😊
Please give finbar a lifetime achievement award to honour him and his music and songs while he remains playing and singing he deserves this don’t leave it any longer
Thanks, but as an Irishman who has travelled a bit I can tell you: every culture can produce beautiful musical art. We have our style but what is music but a non linguistic way of telling a story?
My Brother Eric, passed away on the 12th of November 2023, this is the song we brought him into the church to. He loved it, he loves the spirit of the song, the essence of the sound. R.I.P Eric. You’ll be with me always
I had the pleasure of sitting in the african bush on safari with my best friend who had finbar and his lovely wife sheila as his guests. He performed the lonesome boatman under the stars in kruger and it was an unforgettable evening. finbar is a legend and is mighty crack socially.........
The thing I love about this song is that when finbar goes into minor off chords in the beginning you get a real sense of the seagulls and the waves crashing against the rocks. Love it
And all this time I thought he had two seagulls stuffed inside the bloody thing. I'm a Ballyer lad myself and have always appreciated their music still think of Paul lord have mercy on him.
@@mrtbag2730 exactly! Lord have mercy on that good man, I've studied every scale and key there is, minor, major, augmented and diminished, this ain't no scale 😂😂😂 and it sure as heck isn't minor.
The quarter of me that is Irish (through maternal grandmother) soars earth and heaven at the sound of this...the other three quarters come willingly, too.
sublime..the spirit of Ireland and the Irish sea's. A windy Irish night, wind whistles through the trees- makes me proud to be Irish and swells my heart every time I hear it.
glad you like our music my friend! I'm sitting here now playing the PlayStation with my free Palestine T-shirt on.. and up stairs proudly beside my IRISH flag sits my Palestinian flag.. and my name on the PlayStation.. IRELAND-PALESTINE (I kid you not lol) from the river to the sea👍🍀
I'm reading Sinead O'Connor's book "Rememberings" right now and she makes mention that Furey's "The Lonesome Boatman" is her favorite song. So glad she took me here to listen to this beautiful and, yes, haunting music! Love it!
Wow Sineads book just got delivered today.I too got to the part about The Lonely Boatman, and like you I went straight to watch Fibar Furey and his band play the song.Beautiful haunting tune .I can so understand her connecting to his music. Amazing
The waves are lapping against my boat on lough erne, the curlew is calling out on devenish Island, and I am sitting at home listening to the great tune,"the lonesome boat man,played by the gifted Finbar Furey,like I'm on the lough,Fantastic
I think he is playing a low D tin whistle,on the 3rd octave up,never realised you can do that with such control,a beautiful.evocative tone.And greetings from Kernow!
This was played at my grandfather's funeral over 30 years ago, we were so close, when I hear this I cry miss him so much but when I hear this I know its him letting me know he is near looking after me
I am from brittany an I first heard this song from Brendan Keeley....I right away felt in love with it...merci braz ❤ for this wonderful piece of art !
Finbar Fury is Gods gift to his people, a totally brilliant musician, storyteller, educators, adviser, historian, wordsmith and a man of the people, how lucky are we to have such brilliant people among us
Just play that again and let the frequency flow. They never would have fooled so many with the lies from "Experts". Finbar is an amateur professional just breathing Truth where lies matter. One of my all time favourites. A kite mark of beauty, heritage and everything great about life. I intend to pass this beautiful frequency on to my only child who is 24 today. Operation Shamrock ☘ 2024 is here.
Up the irish travellers I beg all you. S don't no Finbar is a full bred irish traveller proud to be an Irish traveller 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪and still we love and die for our country and the discrimination and racism we still receive is absoultey disgraceful but our day will come we will make this country united this bestiful country of ours the island of Ireland my great grand father died fighting for this country 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Everynight before bed my father would play this and I would dream of tìr nà nòg here in Dublin IRELAND " GOD WILL GIVE US JUSTICE ALL OF US BROTHERS AND SISTERS 💚💪🙏
So brilliant its too hard to put into words how excellent this piece of music is.to me Irish music along with its writer's musicians and singers are simply the best in the word.what a beautiful tune this really is.good man finbar.
The Ultimate relaxing piece of music. You swear your on the sea rockin about on a small fishing boat on own. Finbar does it best but others do it justice too including his younger bros.
IN LOVE with this piece of music and it makes me proud to be Irish!! it really captures the spirit and soul of what it is to be Irish- even if it was not called this it the lonesome boatman it would still remind me of the Irish seas on a windy night and the boat man alone at sea with his dreamy thoughts.......
The heart and soul that goes into this song is just magical. You can picture yourself watching from the shore in Ireland while a small fishing boat smashes into the white horses (waves) whilst coming back to the harbour after a nights fishing the open seas.
flawless, very haunting hairs stand up in my arms and back of my neck, its Irelands song 1st 2nd and last but in Glasgow its became very popular at celtic park and in the pubs up the gallowgate, absolutely love it, as long as its treated with the respect it deserves its a great sight at celtic park jumping and singing it in unison HH
Im a lifelong Rangers fan and a protestant from Northern ireland and im so proud to say that im indeed irish and not British . Good music is good music and thats all that matters . I live in the Philippines now and have friends here from all over the world and when we party theres silence while we all listen to and appreciate this majestic piece of Irish music .
Indescribable the quality and sound of this tune.it just makes the hairs on the back of me neck stand and leaves me breathless every time I heard it and I never get sick listening to it.
As a whistle player, I feel so inadequate listening to this. Feel like I want to give up :-) Well, somebody has to be best and I do love the instrument. It's the journey as well as the destination. The road is tough but worthwhile pilgrim. I shall keep going and I'm grateful to know enough to recognise/enjoy great playing. Thanks fellas.
That's the same as stopping writing poetry because you'll never be Sylvia Plath. You've hardly begun on your road. Keep going. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit.
I know the feeling Paul Roberts I play the box and with the competitions I get to see the likes of Beoga, Sharon Shannon and Dervish..You think you're not half bad then you see them and retreat into a nearby cave..

Trying to learn this tune at the moment in think it's the key of g definitely a bucket list in life 🙏🎼🎵
"The most beautiful and haunting melody I've ever heard " ~ Sinéad O'Connor
[In loving memory. 😢 Fare thee well, Sinéad ❤]
I am humbled you rembered our Sinead, and our talented musicians, thanks so much
The quarter of me that is Irish (through maternal grandmother) soars earth and heaven at the sound of this...the other three quarters come willingly, too.
no words can explain the beauty of this song
That's why it's a "song".
Never get tired of hearing this. you can imagine the seagulls over the ocean when he plays the flute
It’s a whistle not a flute
I was imagining more of a cowboy v Indians scene
@UCHuqqhLQR9g_V_hRtEysl-w Ya it's a whistle you're a fucking flute
sublime..the spirit of Ireland and the Irish sea's. A windy Irish night, wind whistles through the trees- makes me proud to be Irish and swells my heart every time I hear it.

Knew a man from Howth who did his interpretation of this on his fiddle and it often reduced me to tears - so beautiful and lonesome.
love it....proud to be Irish
Does that affect your self worth that an Irish traveller achieved more then you in life
Is that the reason your so bitter
there was a time you could be proud to be irish james,fellas like crazydog changed that,they are rife in this country now bitter pathetic people..
James O Mahony what country are you in
James O Mahony I'm still proud to be irish and always will be. If you're not then you're not irish.
Just play that again and let the frequency flow.
They never would have fooled so many with the lies from "Experts".
Finbar is an amateur professional just breathing Truth where lies matter.
One of my all time favourites.
A kite mark of beauty, heritage and everything great about life.
I intend to pass this beautiful frequency on to my only child who is 24 today.
Operation Shamrock ☘ 2024 is here.

Absolutely fantastic musical talent. The sound of the seagulls is 👌🏼 🇮🇪
Well done lads 🙏🇮🇪
So brilliant its too hard to put into words how excellent this piece of music is.to me Irish music along with its writer's musicians and singers are simply the best in the word.what a beautiful tune this really is.good man finbar.
Deadly tune and an even deadlier player, awesome piper too, being listening to this Man from Ballyfermot for almost all my life.. legendary..

IN LOVE with this piece of music and it makes me proud to be Irish!! it really captures the spirit and soul of what it is to be Irish- even if it was not called this it the lonesome boatman it would still remind me of the Irish seas on a windy night and the boat man alone at sea with his dreamy thoughts.......

Brother's divided by capitalism
Brummies too, and I’m sure a lot of southerners have been let down by Westminster 🏴 🇮🇪 🏴
No mate u want to b.irish. God gave the world the irish the devil gave tbe brits.
The heart and soul that goes into this song is just magical. You can picture yourself watching from the shore in Ireland while a small fishing boat smashes into the white horses (waves) whilst coming back to the harbour after a nights fishing the open seas.
I just cant praise this man highly enough..he is amazing..I get chills listening to him

Finbar Furey heard seagulls by the sea and this is what he heard. A true artist of beauty.

Paul Lavan yes, thanks Paul I will.
