Love this song, posted this in another thread I think:
Sat in that exact spot many times.
whats the song about?
I'm actually Brazilian living in Dublin but i am enjoying the stuff you're posting here
I had a folk thread going for a bit, until it was foolishly merged into this thread: http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/punk-ska-hardcore-folk-billy-all-that-lesser-known-crap.3253255/, which despite having folk in the title is really a punk thread (though a very good one at that) and has nothing to do with the sort of music I was posting.
So here's a thread specifically for Irish folk and trad Assume there must be some fans on here at least. @These Two Hands @deise69 are the only Irish posters I can think of...
To get us started:
@FeloniousMonk
***Christy Moore..Ordinary Man ***Clancy Brothers...Patriot Game. ***Paddy Reilly..A Nation Once Again. ***Derek Warfield...The Soldiers Song. Too many to list m8!
Obvious I listened to the Rebs chara! ***Christy Moore...Only Our Rivers Run Free...Black is the Colour...Missing You..The Voyage. ***The Wolfe Tones..Come out ye' black & tans...The men behind the Wire....Kevin Barry. ****Dublin City Ramblers...The Bold Fenian Men...Kevin Barry(again)...****Paddy Riley...Four Green Fields. Those were just off the top of me head.Im sure you've a list or two of your own pal.Are you an Ulster man mo chara?Go on post a few mo chara
I do love The Patriot Game -

Aye it's a "family" song per se with the lot of us from Co.Monaghan.
My da's side of the family came to the states and did well so one by one six out of his ten brothers and sisters headed across the pond.Some stops along the way but ended up settling in the northeast.I've dual citizenship and want to go back to Ireland where I belong.Maybe when my wee ones are older and the like,my wife wants to as well so eventually.Yeah I'm from Antrim, from just outside Belfast but live in the city itself now. How'd you end up in the USA?
Gives me chills Luke Kelly does.The harmonies those bhoys belt out are truly second to none.Can never get enough of any trad..gods music.Cheers chara.That Luke Kelly version is absolutely perfect.
That second video was good, but that show really disappointed me overall. Poorly organized, imo. All that talent. They started doing The Parting Glass and then ruined it by trying to include everybody.
Showtime's concert: "Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of 'Inside Llewyn Davis'" (where I got my Auld Triangle and S'iomadh Rid vids)was as well organized an event as you'll ever see.
and LIsa Hannigan....hnngh
Please be gentle, I hardly know any Irish folk artists or songs, these two song are very dear to me:
But really, thanks for this thread, I really wanted to find some good Irish folk music but I didn´t know where to start.
Anyhow, I really love some more gentle and melancholic songs, that´s probably why I love those two songs that much.
Also, I heard this one recently:
