My grandad was a strabane man who moved to wexford aftrr being in the freestate army. He moved to Ferns when my dad was young then a decade later they moved to dublin. Wexford was a popular holiday for my family. I was 8 when we went to curraghcloe. When he had a few drinks with his friends papa would belt this out in the tenor vooce he had. I didnt understand politics or history much at that time. This song burned in my brain and to me i feel it in my bones when a good singer gives it justice. This is fantastic

Back in he day when my dad's after-work breath gave you the impression that the city was loose and available.

I just love how many INSTRUMENTS are playing on the stage: drums, pennywhistle, guitar, 2 banjos, bass (2 basses?), some other kind of guitar-type thing, tambourine(?), accordion, violin. Did I miss anything? You can really feel the depth of the music from it.

They're called a tin whistle and a fiddle not pennywhistle and violin ..and a bodhran

[@jackcarter5101]

It's all playback apart from the vocals

[@jamesdaniels487]

Your man in the blue t-shirt is Christie Moore and the drum he's playing is the bodhran, a traditional Gaelic drum.
