[@jameshenrymurphy]

Michael Crowe what has U2 got to do with it idiotic comment.

[@marymary5494]

My father born 1930’s west of Ireland lived in a house without even a radio. He talked of times when their past times were singing and story telling.

[@eamonreville734]

no music required- 3 Angelic voices

[@phillynn1423]

Natural talented not many of this kind now what a Pity bless them

[@carollizc]

There are plenty of people with this sort of natural talent around. You just don't hear them, the airways being clogged up with the likes of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber. People need to start singing again, at home, and entertaining themselves.

[@lewiscase546]

What a lovely song. The aunts remind me so very much of my own grannie.

[@franciestokes7121]

Very very good singers fair play to them the best i heard in long long time100%👍👍

[@petertaylorarts]

This is utterly wonderful. Thanks for sharing

[@muisire]

Priceless - a veritable treasure it is to find this recording of a great love and poignant song so beautifully sung by three members of a great family for music and song - ar fheabhas ar fad - maith sibh!

[@eileennestor9274]

Awesome love listening to them they sound so good together

[@paullinnane4396]

Rita with the glasses was 86 years old when she died, sarah was 92 years

[@salemsalem1440]

I can't find the song anywhere else. Who was the original singer?

[@chrisconneely4974]

Such a beautiful rendition of this song. I love the lyrics...mournful yet with a hint of a curse. The ultimate passive aggressive song of an abandoned lover.

[@TheCaithleen]

just close your eyes and listen.........

[@kate285]

Beautiful !!!

[@franciestokes3195]

Dolores you are a legend

[@serhii_voronenko]

[@salemsalem1440]

How blessed you are to have such beauty and talent in your family!

[@patricktobin5987]

This is a wonderful example of 'Sean Nos' ('Old Style') unaccompanied singing - an absolutely glorious recording which is wrapping itself around my heart and around my soul as I listen in awe...

[@herecomeseveryone7562]

I wouldn't consider this Sean nos at all. The song even seems like it comes more from Appalachia or Britain than it does Ireland.

[@dannymcintyre3819]

​@@herecomeseveryone7562 you're guessing there. You don't really know do you?

[@daithiobeag]

just lovely

[@patrickmcmahon2071]

And that my friends is like food for the soul

[@kathleenduggan2523]

Beautiful ❤️

[@tomgreene1843]

Saw the two older ladies singing together in Thurles in 1959.

[@marychris9665]

Wonderful

[@duneeda1234]

lovely

[@vickiewupdafox5965]

Very nice. The Moon Mullican song 'Columbus Stockade Blues' has the same chorus and he was Irish American.

[@maxrawnsley1401]

Pure Irish

[@Wad9591]

Rita Sarah Delores, I don't know who (if honoured) I would kiss first. You're all magic. I'll give Delores the first clue of who the kisser may be. Tis the Lad from Canada who paid the Delores all his time at one O'Connor pub one evenin. He would still love to fly again to meet his fair lass.

[@shanedooley5948]

I'm going to see her an all her family Sean Matt orla Delores Mike etc to night last tour together I believe

[@lucanmick]

Just listen to there voices and no music

[@vickystanley8853]

Amhran alainn!

[@TravisLoneWolfWalsh]

Is Sean related to these fine ladies?

[@roisinwhite390]

Hello Travis, Seán Keane is their nephew.

[@TravisLoneWolfWalsh]

Giv me a gun or prozac lol

[@peterkane8786]

..... Unison doesn't work for me.

[@peterigoe7757]

A truly talented musical family are the keanes. From the era of Sarah and Rita to the present day of Sean and Dolores, many thousands have enjoyed their unique style of entertainment. Long may have this fine talent to enjoy.

[@norastokes7058]

Gold absolutely gold

[@tomgreene2282]

Heard these two women sing in Thurles in 1959 they had the same style back then of singing in unison ....this was prior to more recent changes.
