Some more piping, this time from Liam O'Flynn and Planxty.
As a bonus, remember this version?

Just beat me too it.
No piping from me, just a pugnacious yet poetical, loutish yet lordly, Behan and an old song
love that bonus track Padraig. thank you for remembering.Comment

Wonderful stuff, Padraig - excellent addition to GT's very moving Davy Spillane Uillean pipes' tune last week; and Iarla is just unique, is he not!?!Originally posted by Padraig View PostSome more piping, this time from Liam O'Flynn and Planxty.

Not sure I'd ever heard Behan's voice before, GT. Coincidently, I heard Dylan doing a version of 'Auld Triangle' recently -might have been an outtake from the 'Basement Tapes'.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostJust beat me too it.

Here's another one from Kershaw's recent podcast - Dervish (featuring Kathy Jordan on vocal) from their record 'The Great Irish Songbook', this is a crackin' take on 'The Rambling Irishman'.
Happy rambling Irish Friday to one and all.Comment

A new one to me John. Maybe an Ulster song? With connections to the Ulster Scots in particular?Originally posted by johncorrigan View Post
I wish I had something new for you in return, but I came across this dancing clip and I could not resist Emma OSullivan , and Galway in the olden times! - pre-virus

I'm glad to say we've even posted this one before - delighted to see it again. I wonder how many people actually recognised her? bit like D'Arcy Buselli performing on the streets of Manchester.Originally posted by Padraig View Post
Or maybe that's one of the worst comparisons ever?
I'm a fan of Galway - not been for years.
Especially the races
Anyway here's another fave ,nothing wrong with a few repeats if they're good 'uns:

Not quite The Big House, G, but a bit of a hooley in the kitchen.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post
and for good measure, the very song for a hooley, known by one and all who hope to attend one soon.

Well I enjoyed both of those Padraig thanks for posting.
Might have been missing one instrument though...
(actually that's just an excuse for a nostalgic post of Doheny and Nesbitts where I spent so many happy times - a hooley there would certainly be fine)Comment

A bit of bodhrán from Rónán Ó Snodaigh today..

I used to know a lad like that, G; he was my long time angling friend. Looked a bit like him too, and was good at lighting outdoor fires but was useless at playing the bodhran.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post
Here is an old song, by a new group - Amhran Mhuinse, The Song of Muinis. It is a plea for a good resting place when the time comes.
'Oh, do not bury me in Leitir Calaidh for it's not the place my people are
But bring me to Muinis to the place where I will be mourned aloud.'
There are good notes below the video including the poem in Irish and English.
