      I have listened to Christy Moore’s version several times, accompanied by Declan Sinnott. It is absolutely magical. He is accompanied by one of the finest guitarists in the world. He says Jimmy McCarthy taught him the song. And, forced to choose, I would listen to Dan’s version every day and twice on Sunday. Fortunately I don’t have to choose.

      I agree 100% with you Michael I listen to my dad talk about Jack Doyle when I was a kid he was a legend in Ireland in the 1930s when my dad was a kid and when every young person needed a Jack Doyle to look up to us Irish no matter what stick together

    Hi Dan, I just wanted to say, I really enjoyed your concert and also can you give me the chords for contender? Please as I am having difficulty finding them specially the ones that you used also keep up the good work I love the fact that there is young talent today still singing Irish music and if you’re coming over to England anytime soon let me know.
