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.
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.........
knockjames1966 don't believe you
You lucky arse!!!! what a privilage
you lucky ballacks
I get pretty emotional every time I hear this bit of music so that would have been some amazing experience!!!

Makes me proud of my heritage
Finbar Furey heard seagulls by the sea and this is what he heard. A true artist of beauty.
There's nobody on the planet who could have played this better by Christ that was stunning.
This touchs every irishmans soul
1:07 Goosebumps. Finbar Furey is one of Ireland's greatest ever musicians.
I can't think of one better.
Claddagh road ballyfermot dublin ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🎶👌🎇
Eireeeeee most special proudest country in the world ❤🇮🇪🙏
Not necessarily. While beautiful everyone seems to be patriotic, despite their countries demise Éire a aontú
🇮🇪
no words can explain the beauty of this song
That's why it's a "song".
Beautiful early bird catches the worm 🎉
Our Irish ☘️ spirit will never be broken 🇮🇪🇮🇪
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.
Irish. Scouse. Glaswegian. It's all the same. We are all brothers.
Brother's divided by capitalism
Brummies too, and I’m sure a lot of southerners have been let down by Westminster 🏴 🇮🇪 🏴
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.
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
exactly.you get it.. perfection..
so talented 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.
Trying to learn this tune at the moment in think it's the key of g definitely a bucket list in life 🙏🎼🎵
History greatness made right there
Ballyfermots most famous son what a genius he is legend 👏
The Furey's and Lam's chinese. Ballyer is some area, and I'm from the North side 😂
Fireplaces with family , stories , poems, and music is what we were brought up on , ireland ,eire , love from liverpool , another irish city
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

This was my nana's favourite song and at her funeral my cousin who plays the flute played this and it was beautiful ❤

Speechless!!! Reminds me of Pan's flute and Romanian Gheorghe Zamfir!
Greetings from Hellas!
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!
One of Sinead O’Connor’s favorites. 🫶🏻🇮🇪 Finbar wrote this when he was 12.

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
To my brother alan in law r.i.p. gone too soon only 34 years old .
I heard Finbar play this in Galway 40 years ago. They turned the ligths down so it was almost pitch black in the hall. I'll never forget it.
The Irish make some amazing music
True!💚
Just heard this on Barry hearn interview with the BBC. Love it
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 !
When I play this and know whoever is with me doesn't know it,. I tell them to listen close and wait for the guy to start singing lol
He makes that instrument cry, what a beautiful piece of music! Also I love the way he acknowledges the other musicians on stage with him.
Makes me cry every time
See when you've got 60,000 Celtic supporters chanting this unbaleveable goosebumps!! 🍀🇮🇪🍀

Finbar puts so much Celtic Soul into everything he does.
Finbar is our national treasure ❤❤❤🇮🇪
Finbar Furey must be considered one of our true living treasures here in Ireland ?
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.
Legendary
It makes me weep
Prime minister's question time makes me weep but not in the same way tim.
2023 and this is still a belter 💚🤍🧡🇮🇪☘️
A good version of the theme music from the Movie "The Good the bad and the Ugly"
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 💚💪🙏
No words needed ❤️ sums our history up just by instrument 🇮🇪🇮🇪
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
This is an all time classic, which makes me proud to be Irish. God bless. :)

Does that affect your self worth that an Irish traveller achieved more then you in life
Is that the reason your so bitter

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.
Magic
I’ll never have dry eyes when I listen to this 💚
My ears are very happy
the man is a musical genius
Bravo
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.
Finbar an Irish legend makes me proud to be half german half irish just takes me to Valhala this music
Ah, my son. It doesn't get much closer to your sending off than this, does it. Those chills never go away and we are decades on now lad.
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.
Big big fan of the unique talent of Finbar. Long may he entertain us with his his music!!!
Awaken the warrior.
Awaken the soul.
We are all celts and we need to stand together..
A good man once said to overstand is to innerstand.
Together as one.
Totally fabulous and hauntingly beautiful... Living in Ireland is a magical experience and I feel blessed.
i'm reading Sinead O'Connor's book Rememberings and she writes about her love for this song and for Finbar Furey, who she said wrote this when he was only 12 years old. ❤
Absolutely wonderful. What a beautiful tune and such fantastic playing. An all time favourite.
Love it 💚💚
Love the fureys big part of my familys life like to listen while travelin
went to aberdeen three weeks ago to watch the fureys absolutly brill little place the tavoli
Absolutely brilliant, learned this on my d whistle, bought on our honeymoon in Galway, class tune
Absolutely fantastic musical talent. The sound of the seagulls is 👌🏼 🇮🇪
A beautiful haunting tune, it sends shivers down my spine
Hit me right in the heart every time.... fantastic piece of music.....
Close your eyes and listen to this masterpiece.
A lot of things of spiritual come from Ireland. It has a heart and soul to it's music, poetry, stories and history. No where in the world would you find that in the same way. Just so sad the foreign from the east try to ripped the heart from us. But the old spirit in us never let it be.
When you are Irish you understand this speaks to you so pass it on and enjoy music is powerful healing and soulful
His fingers flow over those holes like water.
Holy water
