I used to play in the Gables back in '84. The landlord was a fiddleplayer named Dick Tobin. He'd hate it if he was alone behind the bar, and couldn't come and join in. But sometimes he would anyway!

Two too many bodhrans!

Boozing, bloody well Boozing!

Came over this as a suggestion and must say what a really tight group and unwavering vocal performance. Recording had such great clarity too 👍

Iontach!

Great band, Camp house ballads was a great album, 1979. I think Chris Twomey passed away since. Always liked Jimmy Crowley and Co.

Beautiful

Mairtin, God you’re a wonderful storyteller. What’s the secret to being so good at telling stories?

That be a bastard to try and watch estenders in there🤦‍♂️

Disgraceful

I would love to have the words to this song if that is possible. Thanks

If it was outside a courtroom the judge would stop it.

Sher there in the right place if there ear drums pop 🤔🤔😊👀👀😂😂

That's my uncle Mick on mandolin. Legend!!

That’s a disgrace

What a disgrace, I was working there back in March, patients deserve better

He have a boner

This guy.nagga is fucked

First tune is Pat Murphys Meadow?

Aye ☘

Our mutual friend Jeff Kaiserman highly recommended I view this. I was NOT disappointed! NOW I KNOW!

Hello, Máirtín! This is great, love it! #sevenminutesifyouremighty :-)

Dowtcha Máirtín Biy.

Gus McLaughlin, composer of this song went boating into the next life on 30th Nov. 2019 in his 95th year. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam ceolmhar. I'm sure he'd be very happy with this rendition.

As the Saxons call him.

What man has not experienced the loss of a woman to a harder-working pole?

Who is playing flute on this?

Hilarious

Thanks, Lydia. We are working on it always.

Nice recording; no audience interference. Nicely done! :o)

Cool! I hope we can come play in the area sometime. There were quite a few great songs collected around Crandon and Rhinelander in the 30s.

Thanks for the info. It's even cooler for me having been on the Wolf River many times!

It was collected in Wisconsin from a singer named Warde Ford who said it was composed by Jerome Ford around 1900 on the Wolf River in Wisconsin. Ford based his composition on an older song called "Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill." I added some words too.

Certainly. Send me an email.

First heard this at LV bar, MacCurtain street, Cork last Thursday, himself and Jimmy Crowley. Magical. Mairtin and Jimmy doing so much to keep our old songs alive. Mighty troubadors.
