The Irish Tenors- Red is the Rose (LIVE)

[@elliotportner8020]

Irish ballads are so meaningful and beautiful so may tenors forever bring us the greatness and beauty

[@brucecollins641]

@elliotportner8020.......the ballads irish written in the 1930s....the melodies scottish taken from loch lomond written in the 1800s..

[@kimquinn7728]

I sang this many a night for my daughter, Bonny Rose, and it is a sweet, sweet memory.

[@marieratcliffe6144]

This song is so heart warming..brings to mind of the Irish nation and individuals who saw abject poverty ..and many struggles .. This was played at my aunties funeral today who’s mother came from enniskillen and had strong Irish connections ..the harmonies and the way their voices connect, is something that brings to mind the wonderful old Ireland and its inhabitants..this is no doubt the best version of the “ Red is the rose” ever ..Thank you 🌹🌹🌹

[@claiborneeastjr4129]

There are not enough superlatives to describe the awesome talent on display here. Beyond awesome.

[@rchappell77]

this is the best version of this song, hands down.

[@mercedeskimwell7934]

We are Filipinos but our Tatay taught us Irish airs/songs when were young children.

[@Rickey_Mourke93]

Incredible love for Ireland. I am Russian, but these culture, poetry, literature are forever in my heart

[@narancauk]

That is it. The Irish have the biggest heart of all

[@shantibel]

Hauntingly beautiful.

[@bettytoh9088]

I love Irish songs because the lyrics are always so meaningful and the melodies are so tuneful.

[@ginger2863]

I Love The Irish Tenors. Look Forward to St Patrick's Day 2023. I Love The Irish Music and Melody's and Pub songs.

[@brucecollins641]

@ginger2863......the melody is scottish from the older sang loch lomond.

[@williamutley1733]

Beautiful, just beautiful. My favorite version of this song by far! Thank you for posting.

[@Playswellwithpaper]

I love this version! I first heard them sing it decades ago on a US tour.

[@footsolutions4989]

my long past Mothers favorite......may Joh McDermott live and record forever! Loved all three but John put the songs right into my heart

[@micheleedwin4004]

Used to hear this sung along the Prom in the Isle of Man of a summer’s’ evening, when I was a child. We had a lot of Irish workers come over for the season. From both NI and Eire.

[@larrykaufman8100]

Love the Tenors...I trace my Irish heritage back to 355 so the blood runs deep...GOD'S blessings on Ireland forever!

[@lilibetp]

All the Irish Tenors are special, but there's something incredibly special about this combination singing this song.

[@DermottStudio]

This is the album where John wasn't involved, it was really nice that they let him back to sing this song.

[@ShyMoonheart]

The only reason I bought the CD was because John was on it!!

[@wilvanbatenburg316]

Although being Dutch I lost my heart to Ireland and its music 30 years ago, and this music makes me longing for Ireland again

[@brianmccarthy890]

I met John some years ago at Gaelic Park, in Oak Forest, Illinois, for Irish Fest. His dad was born in Galway as my grandfather was.

[@paulabowen6077]

Dearest John you are my favourite especially when you sing The Old Man the day it hsppened! May yours and mine R.I.P.

[@SALLY-uv7se]

May GOD continue to bless You abundantly. ☘️🫂♾️🕊️💐💎💙🍀☕

[@JoyvirgoVP45]

So very beautiful. The dear Grandmother (Sarah McAllister) who raised me was half Irish and she taught me many Irish songs and poems. May God be with old Ireland forever and ever.

[@anneann9127]

I'm a McAllister from Northern Ireland.

[@michaelcarr7595]

Was your grandmother from Donegal ?

[@beautywithin84]

Had to watch this after finding out my dear Irish uncle passed away. This trio was the first concert I ever saw on Long Island when I was 14 and they are really special. I remember meeting them all backstage and they are just the kindest people. Thank you then and thank you now for this beautiful rendition. ❤️☘️

[@dianasnow609]

My first love was a beautiful Irish boy...didn't pan out but when I hear these songs I still think of him fondly. These guys have done some great songs.

[@mollyburbank1020]

Diana Snow Same here. Kieran was his name. 💙 I'll never forget my first love.

[@tomtomruth]

The most beautiful Irish song, and the most beautiful rendition I have heard - I miss my Irish Dad! This one is for you, Dad!

[@joanbush8493]

Play

[@jerberus5563]

100% agree that this is the best rendition out there. Gotta love orchestral/symphonic accompaniment.

[@preacaininternational5637]

Have s listen to Nina Simone singing last Rose of Summer

[@thomaskeighran8115]

,those Irish tenors are so beautiful

[@brian8944]

That's the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

[@andrewelis2308]

Danny boy

[@jerberus5563]

I wish I had a love like that...alas, not in this lifetime.

[@ShyMoonheart]

Lovely and touching. This was after John's beloved mom, Hope, had passed away. He had asked the management of the Tenors for time off to deal with family matters and they refused so he had to bow out of this concert but due to a GREAT deal of protests from John's legion of fans, they invited him to sing two songs, this being one. Such a sweet version but watching John's face still brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for posting this. How did 6 think this wasn't good? Duh.

[@rigaudien]

Which one is John?

[@ShyMoonheart]

@@rigaudien The really good looking one with the curly hair wearing the suit. He starts out the song.

[@maggymay7827]

These singers get me straight in the ticker.You can't ask for anything better.

[@Yusuf1187]

Wow, these guys all have incredible voices. Individually they each are even stronger than I was expecting.

[@catherinequihuiz9691]

Absolutely beautiful 💕💕💕💕

[@myardley6653]

This beautiful version of this song is real and so full of genuine feeling for the message of the song.

[@Tenormic3]

2:56- 3:00 This harmony always gets me. So beautiful

[@cmilne5160]

Thank you for kindly sharing your gift, John.

[@brianmccarthy890]

I love your .music!

[@phyllisramsey9531]

This is a lovely rendition. I like it alot!

[@johnoconnor4623]

Sweet to listen to, great voices and the combine so well

[@maryjane3837]

Phenomenal version.

[@MelissaDuffySacredBreath]

LOVE this song! Here I am with my red garden rose...The BEST smelling rose in my garden!

[@SALLY-uv7se]

Could you please say I love you instead of love you? We need to make it personal for each other because that's how love is it's personal.

[@leatherdolphin]

Where on earth have these beautiful singers been?They are much better the orginal 3 Tenors.Please come to the UK and perform on the TV and show all the people what they have been missing! Please,please please come!

[@janicewood2225]

All the best. Brings back memories of listening Irish music growing up with my Irish Mom and still loving it.

[@maryconnelly9191]

Simply beautiful! Thank you!

[@spunkmckunkle5604]

I'm singing this song in a talent show next month. I can't wait.

I hope it goes well :)

[@tetsuokuroiwa]

Dermott Studio Thank you for such pure heart.

[@DermottStudio]

[@brodybergstrom8335]

this version is awesome but, if you listen to the high kings version, it has much more of a real feel. like a more relatable feeling.

[@DermottStudio]

Beh! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion- even if their opinion is wrong ;)

[@ShyMoonheart]

Thumbs up, Mr Studio :) John owns whatever song he sings. The hardest part of this was seeing the pain etched into his face. When Ronan sings his part, look at John's face. He was struggling to hold himself together. His whole heart was in both songs that he sang that night.

[@sentimentaloldme]

These lads have way better voices than the High Kings...Class act..

[@liamatkins452]

ShyMoonheart I think I saw tears from his face before they changed the camera

[@ShyMoonheart]

@@liamatkins452 Yes the tears were there. He was grieving his Mom as he sang. Knowing John, he was singing to her in his heart. He is not afraid to show emotions.

[@moogaboogaa]

This sounds like loch lomund...

[@rapier1954]

same tune

[@buchan448]

Sounds a lot like loch Lomond still nice though

[@2q1cchess4]

sounds like the bonnie banks of loch lomond. Did the irish steal this?

[@rapier1954]

no they borrowed the tune

[@rapier1954]

They will give it back after the Ulster Scots give back the land they stole from the Irish and go back to Scotland where they came from.

[@rapier1954]

Well that being the case maybe they could move to America and join their inbred cousins in Appalachia.

[@rapier1954]

It might be of further interest to note that the author of the lyrics of the Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond is unknown but it would be safe to assume he was a Scot. But the origin of the tune is also unknown and it would not be so safe to conclude it was Scottish in origin given how old tunes have passed back and forth across the British Isles.

[@brucecollins4729]

@@rapier1954 loch lomond 1800s red is the rose 1934.

[@joanjames9754]

why is he gone

[@ShyMoonheart]

Are you referring to John? He tours with his own group, currently up in canada.

As someone who has studied classical voice I don't like to hear John McDermott all that much. Why? He has a good voice but incorrectly sings in an annoying way through his nose in an apparent attempt to obtain resonance. He needs a better teacher and I'm not kidding. The other 2 singers are beautifully trained and sing with correct technique.. Clear and open.
