I still remember this performance airing live! Cannot believe it was 15 years ago!

[@RoadsideDinerLover]

Thank you Ireland for this band! They are a breathe of fresh air!!! Thank God they are touring! I love them!!!

[@ikbenlaura]

I can't believe anyone has a more beautiful voice than Paul. Wauw.

[@chopstar27]

I seen them in the Paradiso in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago and it was sold out( 400 max) and what a performance.They were absolutely brilliant and even played this song which made it even better!!!!Can`t wait till they come back here again

[@spuddy90]

Super live performance

[@houstonveer]

Bell Ten One. It's so refreshing to here an Irish group with an edge to it. No more hopeless do-gooder bands from the emerald isle.

[@decem0]

How is this band not bigger than they are? just great song after great song.

[@Liena75]

unbelievable beauty

[@oliskehan]

Never get sick of BellX1's sound... Best Irish band by a million miles!

[@LongBeachCityLove]

I wish there was more music like this in the states.

[@joiyua]

must be one of my favourite bell x1-video :D

[@ncc1699]

Heard his on the radio for the first time today. Fantastic song!

[@doisneau]

I agree with you completely. Exactly my thoughts.

[@skippy646]

been with these guys since they were juniper. this felt like the sound of triumph

[@skippy646]

absolutley, trully beautifull ! i am in awe

[@gfitz26]

this is well good!!

[@DevotedNormanist]

Can I please eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner? Please? What an amazing piece of everything they are. It just sounds like tears of joy.

[@SarahCunninghamsc]

what a beautiful song

[@craig2891991]

this is brillant

[@Luskanagh]

Great song for the Sunday morning weariness!!

[@MUF555]

Absolutely amazing!!!

[@macgar100]

Great song from a great Irish band, i love it.

[@Klynch111]

Brilliant track, saw them acoustic last night in dundalk and they were class

[@conleth93]

i love this band,makes me proud to be irish

[@rinnin]

Oh well done RTE for cutting it short.

[@davedavepower]

Top Class

[@CDR390]

lovely...........:):):)

[@flaziola]

It really suits the song having it stripped back like this. They did a similar version on The Will Leahy show last year. It's still on his webpage but the audio quality isn't great.

[@EoinMadsen]

Hey... this wasn't pixelated 240p when I uploaded it. Do KZbin reduce the quality of uploaded videos over time? Also, I can't believe that was almost 7 years ago... shit.

[@genxgina1106]

And now it's 9 years. Lol god help us we are old

[@aaronsaledge]

bell x1 are a lethal band and its a shame theres only a lot of hype about them now because i have their 2005 "flock" album and its brilliant!!

[@benmcloughlin1]

dats a real perfect performance so clear,like the recorded version but better..

[@IsaacC20]

I never thought that someone can make a song regarding pimples/acnes and make it sound good =P.

[@EoinMadsen]

Dave Jeffrey's site seems to be down altogether at the moment. If anyone wants the track, just shoot me a message with your email address. The MP3 is encoded from the original TV audio stream so it's much nicer quality than the above video.

[@jonjoetim]

savage song

[@irishmusiccentral]

good answer :)

[@Gairbhi]

Fantastic band. All the need is a break on the international stage. Who knows maybe u tube can do it.

[@EoinMadsen]

In response to earlier question: I put an MP3 version of this up on bellx1.davejeffrey around the same time as this. You can find it in the links section of the BellX1 website.

[@rinnin]

Well done for fecking up the ending RTE!

[@heressShelly]

go miriam!

[@Cavan1984]

g'wan Miriam!

[@oscarkev190]

yeah i agree with me too ha ha but i posted that before i got tour de flock and now i think that version is the best by miles have you heard it?

[@oscarkev190]

does no one have the video/mp3 of when paul and dave (i think) did reacharound acoustic on night shift?

[@oscarkev190]

one of their best songs without a doubt but i think i prefer the album version just the way the drums oppose the guitar but this is fantastic too

[@EoinMadsen]

I hadn't heard that he'd done a cover.

[@panizin82]

i got propose while they were playing this song

[@MRM0J0RISIN777]

G I L F

[@JannaLeise]

[@stevesteve55]

typical rte cuttin it short at the end. not realising that it was probably the best thing they had shown all year.

[@thisisdeclan]

I love Bell X1 and much prefer their style to Damien Rice for the record. But Rice has wrote one of the best Irish albums of all time in O (top 10 at irish music central) and hit No.1 with his second, so that comment is ridiculous.

[@asiansplenda]

Is the part 3:20-4:05 from another song? I can't place it

[@glebber8709]

from which song?

[@Rustymonkfish2011]

I really want to like this song but I just can't. :L

[@johnbyrne8735]

Miriam. Yummy.

[@musikist]

damian rice leaves the band to become a big success on the back of pretty much one song...while bell x1 are left behind and write this song without him...funny isn't it :D

[@Cagey7531]

This is NOT Damien Rice people, and he never covered this song. Bell X1 >>> Damien Rice in my book, beautiful

[@irishmusiccentral]

They're playing Electric Picnic instead.. much better festival.

[@stoogemund]

Great performance but the camera work is truly appalling!!!

[@EoinMadsen]

We also make some godsdamned awful music. It's all a rich tapestry. :)

[@TheBeeahst]

bell x1 are epic, but of all bands to kick out, not blur!! so many shockingly bad bands at that festival, but blur was not one of them!..just sayin..

[@shanefolan]

sooo depressing
