What a beautiful version. I've been searching for a version that has the tenderness and sadness that I heard the way it was sung by Grace in Peaky Blinders. This is definitely it. Thank you for sharing. Looks like you haven't posted in a while. Hope you are still singing. ❤️
Hi, Thanks very much! I'm currently working on some original material, will be posting soon hopefully! Currently trying to write a song per day and upload to spotify if you would like to check that out! Thanks again :) soundcloud.com/stayne-274630340
I’m late to the party here but this is probably one of the best covers I’ve heard of this song. I’m a 22 year old who is utterly obsessed with traditional Irish music thanks to my dad and pop and I will definitely be showing them this. Thank you for covering this song!!
Mate!! Wtf. This is the song I mind my dad singing about my mum. Both unfortunately dead at very young ages. I have heard few versions.. Jesus. Ive goosebumps!! Amazing!!!!
In a neat little town they call Belfast Apprentice to a trade I was bound And many's an hour's sweet happiness I spent in this neat little town. A sad misfortune came over me Which caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and relations Betrayed by the black velvet band. Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair hung over her shoulders Tied up with a black velvet band. I took a stroll down to Broadway Meaning not long for to stay When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid Came a traipsing along the highway She was both fair and handsome Her neck it was just like a swans' And her hair is hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band. Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair hung over her shoulders Tied up with a black velvet band. So I took a stroll with this fair maid And the gentleman passing us by Well I knew she meant for the doing of him By the look in her roguish black eye A gold watch she took from his pocket And placed it straight into my hand And the very first thing I said was Bad luck to the black velvet band. Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair hung over her shoulders Tied up with a black velvet band. Oh her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair it hung over her shoulders Tied up with a black velvet band.
I only wish he had done the full version. I've loved this song for years. Wonderful job though! Awesome acoustics in the church as well. Almost a haunting sound.
The first time I heard this song was when I watched you perform it in front of the Guildhall for Halloween 2018. Thanks for an unforgettable performance!
@@Stephen.McKeever Thank you too for this Black Velvet Band version. 🎸🎶 always listen to it. your style music🎸 is among Best Black Velvet Band Irish version.
Omg, amazing voice, best cover of this song I've heard I would say, fantastic, well done Stephen, you should have way more recognition. Love from Derry 😁
@@Stephen.McKeever Your so welcome, I've been playing this over and over since I heard it, are you from N Ireland Stephen? Do you do live sets out and about?
How much recognition value can a voice have???? This is magic! Jeeeez!!! PLEASE keep consistency up, you're an extremely distinctive and special musician!
@@Stephen.McKeever I mean it. You have a voice that really captivates. Your tone colors are very versatile, the body of your voice is full and strong. The success won't come to you by itself, please keep chasing the dream. I'd be happy to hear more (especially raw, organic) music from you like that. Much love from Vienna!
Thank you! I have my original music up on Spotify! Check it out at the link below :) open.spotify.com/artist/6ztXmFezVz6XCefhNeUuMr?si=L42Llz7vQzOrp6c4c5IVYw

It's "traipsing" along the highway, not "tripping". A little more effort into learning the song and less into trying to look as emotional and dramatic as possible would serve you well. Function over form, substance over style, always!
Flabfactory Hi fellow Irish man! I’m sorry you don’t like my rendition of the song but I suppose It’s not for everyone! I’d be happy to hear your version 😊 thanks!
Stayne from a Welshman..... ignore him. This version is truly incredible my friend. Beautiful tone, excellent delivery and the emotion in your rendition is palpable. Thoroughly enjoyed!

This is the version of this song I have been looking for since season 1 of the Peaky Blinders dropped
Hailey Cain thank you! I’m glad you like it !
That is so true
Beautiful semi-a cappella version of this great song. His timing & tone are perfect compliment to this memorable Dubliners tune.
Want a female version of this version.

So many to choose from but this version is so better , what a amazing voice
This made me tear up. This song is my childhood
Thank you very much!
This is hauntingly beautiful, hands down the best version I’ve ever heard of this song. Great to see a local talent 👏
In a neat little town they call Belfast
Apprentice to a trade I was bound
And many's an hour's sweet happiness
I spent in this neat little town.
A sad misfortune came over me
Which caused me to stray from the land
Far away from my friends and relations
Betrayed by the black velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band.
I took a stroll down to Broadway
Meaning not long for to stay
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid
Came a traipsing along the highway
She was both fair and handsome
Her neck it was just like a swans'
And her hair is hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band.
So I took a stroll with this fair maid
And the gentleman passing us by
Well I knew she meant for the doing of him
By the look in her roguish black eye
A gold watch she took from his pocket
And placed it straight into my hand
And the very first thing I said was
Bad luck to the black velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band.
Oh her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band.
The best version I have heard by a country mile 👊👊

Many an hours sweet happiness, have I spent in that neat little town
A sad misfortune came over me, which caused me to stray from the land

Banda de terciopelo negra
En un pequeño pueblo ordenado que llaman Belfast, aprendiz de comercio yo estaba obligado
Muchas horas, dulce felicidad, he pasado en ese pequeño y ordenado pueblo
Una triste desgracia vino sobre mí, que me hizo apartar de la tierra
Lejos de mis amigos y relaciones, traicionado por la banda negra de terciopelo
Coro
Sus ojos brillaban como diamantes
Pensé que era la reina de la tierra
Y su pelo colgaba sobre su hombro
Atado con una banda negra de terciopelo
Dé un paseo por Broadway, lo que significa que no tardé mucho en quedarme
¿A quién debo conocer pero esta hermosa doncella viene una trampa a lo largo de la carretera?
Ella era a la vez bella y hermosa, su cuello era como un cisne
Y su pelo colgaba sobre su hombro, atado con una banda negra de terciopelo
Dé un paseo con esta hermosa doncella, y un caballero paseándonos por aquí
Bueno, sabía que se refería a él, por la mirada en su mirada negra y rudo
Un reloj de oro que ella tomó de su bolsillo y lo puso en mi mano
Y lo primero que dije fue un mal “éxito para la banda negra de terciopelo
Ante el juez y el jurado, a la mañana siguiente tuve que comparecer
El juez me dice: “Joven, su caso está demostrado claro
Te daremos siete años de servidumbre penal, para ser gastado lejos de la tierra
Lejos de tus amigos y relaciones, traicionado por la banda negra de terciopelo
Así que vengan todos ustedes jóvenes alegres una advertencia tomar por mí
Cuando estéis en la ciudad, chicos, tened cuidado con los bonitos colegas
Porque os dan de comer con bebida fuerte, “mis muchachos”, hasta que no sois capaces de soportar
Y lo primero que sabrás es que has aterrizado en la tierra de Van Diemens

Love it lad you should be on the telly btw checkout my reggae version hope u like my fun take on this classic , mr Celtic reggae black velvet band
I'll Check it out! Thanks man :)
I came here from the Peaky Blinders.
But your voice is so beautiful
I am going to be controversial here .I don’t understand why Van Morrison has not covered this song?
Guys lets get Jacksepticeye to get this trending
good ,but no one sing it like grace shelby
It's "traipsing" along the highway, not "tripping". A little more effort into learning the song and less into trying to look as emotional and dramatic as possible would serve you well. Function over form, substance over style, always!
Flabfactory Hi fellow Irish man! I’m sorry you don’t like my rendition of the song but I suppose It’s not for everyone! I’d be happy to hear your version 😊 thanks!
Stayne from a Welshman..... ignore him. This version is truly incredible my friend. Beautiful tone, excellent delivery and the emotion in your rendition is palpable. Thoroughly enjoyed!

And her hair hung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band.

Meaning not long for to stay
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid
Came a traipsing along the highway
She was both fair and handsome
Her neck it was just like a swans'
