Brian, you're dearly missed my friend. Thanks for all the tickets over the years.

Cant believe this only has 4 comments in this age of crap, shallow, soulless music. Great effort.

Wonderful video, I love visiting Rosscarbery and Clonakilty.

Farewell Mr Brian O'Donovan, love your host of A Celtic Sojourn, used to listen every Saturday afternoon.

Gracias por compartir este vídeo, la música y voces son un auténtico placer para los oídos.Un saludo desde España.🎸🪕🎻 👏👏👏🍀

I'm not crying, you're crying

Magníficos!!!!! Bonita melodía, gracias por compartir.🎻🎸🎼🎵👏👏👏

The tune I know is this one, s sung by The Spinners kzbin.info/www/bejne/qniqcoZvobCVgqs

Interesting, the tune is slightly different to the one I used to sing in the 60s folk clubs in Glasgow. Sounds like a harmony of the tune I know, but I can’t trust my poor hearing now.

Listening to this again, three years later. After Brian's death. I cannot help but listen with the profoundest sadness and sense of loss. These shows were one of my christmas "always'" as brian would put it.

This is beautiful.

Absolutamente genial!!!! Gracias 👏👏👏👏

El paisaje es precioso transmite tranquilidad, gracias por mostrarnos este bonito video.Un saludo desde España.👏👏👏

What is he reading?

Must be killing Nathan to not be flailing his arms about.

beautiful girl, beautiful dancing, infinite grace

So in love of this song. Grettings from French Polynesia - Tahiti.

This is really cool

This is so beautiful!

Thank you for posting this.

My own Song💜

Happy new year 2023, thank you for this beautiful version. 新年快乐！

Brian, please bring Mairi to Rockport for your Christmas Celtic Sojourn.... I would love to hear this song, sung by Mairi, live. Thanks.

Five years later...still is.

Amo esta canción. Maravillosa versión

What a gorgeous rendition. Ruth's voice is so genuine and soulful, and the arrangement is stunning. Any chance it could be remixed to remove the distortion from the beautiful high notes? It mars what is truly a transcendent performance. Thanks.

Will all these people just sod off with their awful Oirish / 'Celtic' murdering of every song they get their hands on!

I have heard many melodies of Auld Lang Syne sung by Mairi Campbell, but this one is simply the best

I was there to watch her sing in at the Rockport Music - Shalin Liu Performance Center in Massachusetts. Angelic! Not sure if anyone knows, but this is this the same location that CODA, the movie that won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2022 was filmed.

I have an O'Donovan ancestor who married a Ronan from the Ardfield and Rathbarry parish and they eventually moved to London, their daughter married an O'Driscoll from the Clonakilty area of Cashelisky whose family also moved to London - all around the black years of the late 1840's. I was born in NZ but have metaphorically taken my people 'home' on my many trips to West Cork where I feel 'at home'. It is the most beautiful part of the world. It is a long way from New Zealand but this Kiwi does fly North regularly. It was moving watching this video and the places I am very familiar with. Bless.

The music in the background was delightful!

Great fiddling

Sitting down….!” 🧐

I spent 6 weeks every summer at my grandparents in Owenahincha . A Fabulous place

Beautiful ❤️

I love this song. Grettings from Poland ❤️

I was just there visiting a long time friend from Cork. He took me to Clonakilty and out along the coast. What a wonderful part of the world. Thanks for sharing.

Coming up on 10 yrs for this one- Oh my

Yes! INCOMPARABLE. Each year, I listen to as many covers of O Holy Night as I can, then I just loop Ruth's -- sometimes all night, or until I want to stop crying. Her's (Celtic Sojourn's) is the perfect gift to us all for all time; and a true classic. Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful !

Thank you for a beautiful tribute to our humanity… May we all Blessed in the New Year. Thank you my fellow beings, one and all.

Being from the border country in the UK , With many Scottish relatives , I was brought up singing this with my family ..now im residing in the USA but I never ever forget my roots…

So beautiful...Bliadhna mhath ùr!✨💖✨

That really is balletic - lovely. It’s interesting that french ballet has influenced both formal Scottish Country Dancing and Irish modern step. A very pretty costume which, to me, is so much better than the embroidered competition costumes. Mind you, I’m not Irish, so could be wrong about the ballet influence.

Well informed snapshot of our beautiful town and area Brian - DOUTCHA BOY !!

Pretty cool. Keep up the good work!

This is fabulous

I am always keen to travel with Brian on his GBH Learning Tours. All arrangements are first rate, and you cannot ask for better comrades in his music adventures.

Maith thú, a Bhrian!

Looks great Brian, we’ll done.
