This is not an Irish folksong! Written about Salford.

I was singing in an irish pub in Quincy Massachusetts USA last night and someone requested this song. I worked on it a few years ago but didn't know it well enough to perform it last night. So today I'm on youtube learning it for next time. Lo and behold I'm learning it from the man who wrote it! Previously I assumed the High Kings had written it as that was the version I was familiar with. I love that "job" really only rhymes with "pub" if it is sung in an irish accent :) Congratulations on writing a great song that will live forever!!!

I've had guitars for the last 30 years, and dipped in and out of learning to play from books, online tab, and in recent years youtube videos. I just wanted to let you know for me, your videos are the best. Clear, simple and to the point. I am a massive fan of Irish music, listening The Dubliners and The Pogues, and finally thanks to you, I can play songs all the way through. Wishing you all the best my friend.

Not even an Irish song. Just because the Pogues had a hit with it didn't make it Irish. It was written in England, by an Englishman, about a town in England. The writer's Scottish folk roots do come through, but Irish? Nope.

What you say is true. My wife and I are meeting our future In-Laws at the Banshee Pub, in Buffalo New York this Saturday. Love your tune. I will teach it to my wee folk group that meets every Wednesday in upstate NY.

When i ment i am expanding. I ment i am a heavy metal player. I am learning new artist and culture. Thank you for this. You are a good teacher and i appreciated your time with this song.

I like this. I am expanding Hoewever we count differently. We go ONE 2. 3. ONE 2. 3. Rather than ONE 2.3. TWO 2. 3. SAME count. Just different brother. Excellent tutorials and voicing. Thanks for this upload. Thumbs up.

What u talking about, it IS an irish song. FW wrote the lyrics but the tune its set to is the Derry air. Surely as a trad musician you know how this works lol

Hi Flynner, great song. Could you share a tab for the in-chord picking pattern throughout the song.

This is NOT an Irish song. Ewan Macoll was born in Salford, England. This song is about his place of birth.
@davidshepherd98428 ай бұрын
Its never claimed to be an Irish song, it's been adopted by the Irish and played everywhere you go in Ireland. Irish Rover was originally a German Beerkeller drinking song that was rewritten into an Irish drinking song. That's the beauty of music, it's international.

Thank you sir, for this great lesson. And I love your voice, which fits perfectly to this song. Bless you!
I first heard this song by Roger Whittaker and later by The Spinners from Liverpool. It's always been one of my favorite songs. Whittaker's version starts with "I met my love by the gas works croft". Thanks for the tutorial, Brian!
@backgardenbusker72065 ай бұрын
The Gasworks Croft has long since been demolished but is immortalized in the song if people bother to sing the words that Ewan MacColl actually wrote.

Just found this. How wonderful and so true, but there are much more than four Irish pubs here in Sydney (The Mercantile is my favourite). My Ancestry DNA analysis gives me links to West Donegal (through my Great Granny). Probably why I feel this music so much.
