Daoirí Farrell - The Valley of Knockanure

[@johnsinnott6179]

For me personally this song is not about the singer or the instruments etc. It’s about the men and women down through the ages that fought for our country against oppression. I owe them a huge debt.🇮🇪💚

Chills. What a perfect rendition of this bit of Irish history and culture.

[@briantneary2248]

R.I.P to both my grandfather's Francis Kelley and Frederick Neary, And to my grandmother's Ellen Mulcahy and Bernadette Coffin, who came from that beautiful country. I wish I lived there and not the states.

Never heard this song or singer until today. Both beautiful and powerful.

Check out his version of The Foggy Dew. While I love Sinead O'Connors version. I think I like his better.

How can he even sing this? I can't even listen to it without a massive lump in my throat. "For Ireland I'll die as I face the sky..." 🇮🇪

[@billeytaylor7186]

Beautiful voice

[@johnelkins2062]

That little bit toward the end describing Dalton’s view as he faced the sky and took one last look at his beloved Ireland…😢

These men weren't fighting for ideology but for hearth and home and family; their identity as Irishmen which had been withheld from them for 800+ years.

[@johnoconnor4623]

Good man.

[@tobiasoellers146]

Fantastic! I love it ❤️ Irish Bouzouki is a good sounding Instrument. And the singing is great too

[@NDYzone]

this is so amazing... why oh why is he so "unknown" over here in germany? It is so beautiful ... just amazing.

"The Banshee cried as her sone they died, in the valley of Knockanure"

[@bdmac100]

WOW.

[@seamuscounihan9376]

The line that is often sung by various singers "'And side by side they fought and died '' is totally wrong. Those lads were unarmed there was no gun battle,they were executed. Peggy Sweeneys version ""and side by side they bravely died " is the only version that i know of that describes the true events.May those lads Rest In Peace.

[@boysofwexford]

Surely it refers to their previous actions as part of the armed struggle? I mean they weren't the ICA, they were the IRA. The clue is in the line "Republican bold". 🤔😉

[@giuseppeconlan]

Evaluate the place they met their deaths - they were removed from the road and executed in a blind spot on a curve in the hedge that couldn’t be seen from either end of it - were they led there or did they have foreknowledge? No chance of coincidence in that location

[@JohnMinehan-lx9ts]

The tune he is using is unfmailiar . . . . Was the intro in Irish or Gaelic?
