Found this man and his music about a month ago... Absolutely everything he plays is flawless and bone chilling. Excellent musician

[@brianhilbrink2269]

I had exactly the same experience

[@blueskybanshee8013]

Me too , he's absolutely World class and so generous with his talent. He'll even show you how to play the tracks he sings on the bazooki right here on KZbin. 🤙

[@leeemurray1608]

He is incredible. When listening to it the beauty of it feels like being washed from the inside out. It should be prescribed by doctors when you need a good tune in your head to cheer up or to chill from the mental state the world is in.

[@TerriblyNice_Not]

bone chilling? Ok. Glad you like it :D

[@markwilliams8532]

I'm glad he gave up being an electrician to become what hei is now.. one fine musician

When I 1st met him, that was the 1st question I asked him

[@theondebray]

Saw Daoiri at Sheffield last year, he played this without any introduction after a couple of serious numbers - we were laughing the tears down our legs!

Beautiful voice🤩

[@leeemurray1608]

Listening to this Gem is like being washed from the inside out. It really is a Great tune. It should be prescribed by doctors to patients in need of a feel good uplift moment when anything else fails. Tis a gem 😁

Oh, backwards and forwards I’ve been reeling and tight Oh, twas some spree that I been at last night I been to McCarthys with Patsy OMaher And we drank the black bottle from under the bar We drank and we drank, we banished all care We gave not a thought to foul weather or fair And now, on the floor, I'm curled up in a heap Biddy, leave me to sleep, Biddy, leave me to sleep! [CHORUS] I’m clasped to the pig, in a loving embrace The hairs of his curly tail are tickling my face There’s no use in telling me sober to keep Biddy, leave me to sleep, Biddy, leave me to sleep [BREAK] [VERSE 2] A long time ago, in the days that are gone Oh well, gayly I flouried my knotty black-thorn And if I but only had it tonight Well maybe I wouldn't be offered a fight And if Pat Murphy I chances to meet It's a terrible ruction we would have in the street And he’ll soon be glad in his knot-hole to creep Biddy, leave me to sleep, Biddy, leave me to sleep! [CHORUS] I’m clasped to the pig, in a loving embrace The hairs of his curly tail are tickling my face There’s no use in telling me sober to keep Biddy, leave me to sleep, Biddy, leave me to sleep [BREAK] [VERSE 3] Drop down by the pig, here, and share his embrace And let my red whiskers lie close to your face This craythur won't hurt you, no he’ll do you no harm Drop down by me, Biddy, and keep me back warm And squeeze up beside me, as you've oft done before I'll sing you to sleep with the sounds of me snore The rats and the mice all around us will creep Biddy, leave me to sleep, Biddy, leave me to sleep! [CHORUS] I’m clasped to the pig, in a loving embrace The hairs of his curly tail are tickling my face There’s no use in telling me sober to keep Biddy, leave me to sleep, Biddy, leave me to sleep [CHORUS] I’m clasped to the pig, in a loving embrace The hairs of his curly tail are tickling my face There’s no use in telling me sober to keep Biddy, leave me to sleep, Biddy, leave me to sleep
