The very great Margaret Barry, she was a very special person a very great singer, I recall hearing Margaret Barry saying whilst listening to my mother's radio she tuned into RTE, may the souls of Margaret Barry and my dear departed grandmother rest in eternal peace in heaven
My great grandparents were Irish Gypsies . I know very little of them except that my great grandmother was a herbalist, had second sight and smoked a clay pipe ..she would break off the stem of it though before using it ..she fascinates me ..Lovely to hear your Grandmother sing she had a beautiful voice.
Hey Ronan, its nice to know that her descendents are here listening to her music, have you come across Lisa O'Neill yet? I'm figuring you possibly live in Ireland.. she's an Irish woman who was influenced by your grandma, I'm sure you'll like Lisa's music too"
Margaret Barry a mighty woman and a mighty voice. Banjo on my side is my favorite. Love to listen to her when she is singing with Pecker Dunne who also is another mighty Man ..
Musical talent is bestowed without favour or merit on ordinary people. . Just like any other gift~ blessed are those who receive it for it's just good luck.
Sure we are like a flower, bright and vibrant in our summer months and as the flower withers and looses it's beautiful bloom so shall we all. Great songs by a special artiste and lady. Thanks for sharing.
I've never heard of this beautiful singer.of course many of us haven't. Only today I listened to pecker dunne..marvellous but irish people must cherish our great music.ì am so glad to have found this.tell tyson fury if he is the king ,then he should listen to the queen.thank you and I will listen some more
My grandmother was inducted into the hall of fame folk awards 2019 in Dublin well deserved she was one unique woman as a family we are so proud of her achievements she has twelve grand children and a lot of great grandchildren and and we are carrying the tradition on with the music as a lot of us play ourselves great women.

We had her record An Irish Tinker Lady about 1958 or so. My mom and dad loved it. My mom was from Kerry. My father was a "Yank", but was in Ireland for 4 years studying Gaelic. My mom moved up to Brookline MA, and Margaret Barry performed there some time during the 70's. My mom was thrilled with her.

Her voice is mighty and an instrument in itself. Thank You, from Chicago.
Margaret Barry's singing of "The Flower Of Sweet Strabane" is one f my very favourite recordings. Truly wonderful singing.
I'm glad I found this, her version of one of my favourite songs the galway shawl is beautiful.
Hard to articulate just how beautiful and moving her voice is...
