Sitting here in Petty Harbour, Newfoundland, where folks have been playing and listening to music like this for hundreds of years. And it never gets old.

I write from Genova, Northern Italy, and have been falled in love with traditional Irish music since the mid 80's. This is my very first record I've bought! 💚

[@kerstinreinke5413]

I had the chance to see them live in the 80s. I would like so much to see them again.

[@giniakat2513]

[@delby66]

Great bands you have mentioned. If you can, listen to a band from Canada called Barde. They were out in the mid to late 70's. A very good Celtic band based out of Montreal.

@Sagaris Starlight Hi, The track you are looking for is: 'I Was a Young Man' and it is on Oisín's first LP entitled 'Oisín' which was released in 1976. I don't have the album and cannot locate it on the internet but I am familiar with it. I did however track down the lyrics for the song 'When I was a Young Man':- www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/folk-song-lyrics/When_I_Was_a_Young_Man(2).htm 'I'll go home to my aged mother, She'll be sitting all alone Says there's plenty young women to be had, Why should I be tied to one' Thanks for your interest, were we not all young once!
