The volume on this video is VERY LOW. I recommend uploading it again with an increase of at least 200% more volume. Cheers!

Outstanding!!! What a sweet colored voice!!! (Cathy) Greetings from Hellas!

[@romainclement5186]

I'm 21. I'm french but when I listen to them I feel like an old irish in a pub :)

[@garsm2290]

After all these years, Cathy still gives me the shivers ....

[@Nachtuil36]

All old time moments are back. Same voice. Planxty. Guest within my favourite band Dervish !

[@socratesgoulas9036]

Glorious performance on ''Galway farmer'' (1:20:00)!!! Well done to all artists. Greetings from Hellas!

[@silverpriestess1674]

She has one of the best voices i have ever heard :D really amazing band !!

[@javierturullols8059]

Impresionante. Precioso concierto de Dervish. Sobre todo por ese "toque" especial que solo los irlandeses saben darle a su música.

[@robst247]

Listening to Andy playing that Sobell bouzouki and singing "The Rambling Boys of Pleasure" never fails to restore the care-worn soul to a state of grace.

[@sbingham1979]

Music to bring the world to its feet in pure celebration of life. Wish I could have been at this festival. Thank you for posting this wonderful video.

I know (11) The Creggan White Hare as The Hills of Granemore

[@socratesgoulas9036]

Thanks a lot.

[@joedunne9400]

I first saw this band in '03 - they blew us all away. I love that they are as tight as ever and perform now with seemingly more joy than they did then.

[@MattyP1980]

Up Dervish! One of the best bands to ever come out of Ireland. Thanks Shrewsbury Folk Festival for putting out this video.

[@christ6493]

that's a brilliant video, thanks for putting it online. Steve Knightley plays cuatro on Galway Farmer - its like a Cuban version of a ukulele, he plays it quite a lot with Show of Hands

[@blitzfultime]

She is awesome, god bless cathy Jordan.

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

Dervish are coming to my little town's folk festival in a couple of weeks but we won't be getting Karen Mathieson - shame because their two voices are divine together - just stunningly beautiful singing.

[@KayAmooty433]

Fantastic!!

[@wikedwhich1]

What foot work...its incredible

[@stevenfuller5333]

Seen them in my college town several times and they are ALWAYS fantastic.

[@dediva111]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@MrHasi1965]

feckin` amazing! UP Dervish!

[@williamswhistlepipes]

Brilliant what a fantastic line up and thank fxxxx big mike hasn’t started with the Irish accent top man.

[@dejzbor6023]

Imposible desengancharse de una música tan rítmica y melódica como esta.

[@wilshirewarrior2783]

Cathy has the beat..the rhythm like no other.

[@nicbeat]

I love you Cathy, and my Colleen knows it. But, she loves you too. :)

[@davidmckenna5751]

Love cathys voice and dervish in general from an Englishman

[@lars526]

Still in their musical prime as far as I can hear

[@bang0n500]

Tis a pity you turned DOWN the volume, barely audible here. Yes I tested my speakers etc.

[@verde1953bs]

Very good concert, maybe the same tracklist, yesterday in Chiuduno, north Italy

[@aidanbrennan9989]

A beautiful voice.

[@jtpinnyc]

Pity the audio is so quiet on this video

[@davidbarker5941]

This video is fine. But it would be even finer if it was A LOT LOUDER!

[@tonydong96]

I like it, it has a genuine Celtic ancient feel especially the 3rd last song, its so like Skyrim's dragonborn!

[@abiezercoppe8886]

This is pretty modern folk music (late 20th century/21st century). The instruments, playing in a "band", the tunes, the arrangements, the style. Nothing "ancient Celtic" about it.

[@tonydong96]

Oh, I see:)

[@abiezercoppe8886]

Great music though isn't it :-)

[@Kitiwake]

@@abiezercoppe8886 not quite.. It's 18th or 19th century in style.. Reels jigs hornpipes, dances and songs in the style of those times in Ireland particularly. My grandmother spoke Irish as her first language as a child.. And that was 1900... And Irish language and Irish culture bears an ancient and Gaelic heritage

[@sergioribnikov]

Has anyone found Andy's lead yet? :)

[@oldnikonian343]

I enjoyed Bernard Cribbins on mandolin.

[@Lozza144]

Weren’t they in the Eurovision

[@walteregeaux]

woo hoo!

[@istvanhutter5109]

I like Irish speech, but I don't get it at all. Sometimes I can hear Irish accent, (in spoken English) I love it.

[@bclocke2303]

She like you after you hang with the band too long. It is easy!

[@istvanhutter5109]

@@bclocke2303 unfortunately not. I haven't been so lucky to hang with them to know Cathy. My fav song is "Red-haired Mary".

[@MrFelis1]

Is the singer at 31:03 from Capercaillie? Like! :D

[@canopus2123]

Yes, of course, the singer is Karen Matheson.

[@hitman55001]

What language is she singing in?

[@rapier1954]

Irish

[@johnc1975]

Some people call it Gaelic, but usually not the Irish, although they will forgive you for calling it that..

[@maryryan1278]

@@johnc1975 Gaeilge is what our Irish language is called.

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! ;)
