THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR LOVELY COMMENTS. IT IS A SONG THAT IS VERY DEAR TO MY HEART. EMMET X

[@parkerplace2910]

You sing my name beautifully. Thank you. Danny C.

[@henrybarlage9265]

Thank you, Emmet, for this most beautiful song which brings me back to Ireland and the heart-touching story of the Irish. Your rendition of this song is the best I have ever heard. I am glad that I have had the honour and pleasure to meet you, Emmet, in person ten years ago in Dublin. I hope we will meet again before I depart this world, so that I can hear you sing again. God bless you, Fr Henry Barlage, SVD.

Hey

[@karlaflores7718]

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The summer's gone, and all the roses falling, It's you, it's you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow, Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow, It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow, Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so! But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I well may be, You'll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an Ave there for me. And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!

[@sharonstromley9350]

Amazing control, expression, perfect pitch and intonation. This young man has a glorious voice. Absolutely. I only read a few comments. But not one mentioned the accompanist. Sad, that, because he is totally brilliant. My mother told me when one accompanies a singer, one must capture the mood, support but N E V E R override the singer. The pianist is totally brilliant. Emmet's voice is brilliant and he deserves every compliment but the forgotten accompanist brings it up into the 'glorious' experience. Thank you, sir. I am sorry your name isn't listed. It should be.

[@metalheadjock3513]

Perfect pitch for sure...I have it and couldn't discern a single note out of tune. It's glorious when singer's have perfect pitch... I've heard some singers sound wonderful on recordings..they apparantly use auto tune, but they sound alarmingly bad in actual concert. This gentleman certainly has perfect pitch. Flawless performance.

[@maryoleary2037]

Sharon the pianist is Seamus Brett. Emmet Cahill, the vocalist is a principle singer with the touring group Celtic Thunder. Seamus plays keyboards and is the assistant musical director for Celtic Thunder. Seamus is extremely gifted, as is Emmet. Emmet does have perfect pitch. Emmet also plays piano and violin. The entire Cahill family are musicians.

I just met him in Orlando, at a concert. He is not only gifted, but a perfect gentleman. He shared the scenario with a russian choir. At the end of the concert, my wife and I aporoached the russians, who rectulanly agreed to a selfie; but the leader was SO rude with me and my wife after that. In fact, they leave the placce immediately. But Cahill (honestly a much better artist) attended everyone; even his photographer took our Ipad to take some pictures of us. Cahill made some jokes and chatted with us. Great person!

[@koosriedijk3872]

The pipes are calling.... here The Netherlands are calling. - We must have heard hundreds of singers over the years singing Danny Boy. It needs certainly courage to sing it after so many big names(tenors(from John McCormack to USA-based Irishman Robert White) , baritons, sopranos(Norma Burrowes ánd e.g. folksinger Mary O'Hara) , mezzo's, contraltos(Bernadette Greevy) , counter tenors and treble singers(Belfasts Billy Neely). Many singers nowadays give it a "pop-touch" or too much an Irish folktouch (like at 0.21 min - only once(!) - ca-ha-ha-ha-ling, the almost unavoidable "decoration"), but to our great joy ("our" means a group of classical singers) we noticed that young Emmet Cahill (here 27 or 28 years) does it the classical way. Brilliant!. It's far more difficult to sing from one note straight to another and don't loose yourself in too much in between fringe. Here he shows that he is able to do it the way the big names sang it decades or half a century ago. Like e.g. James Johnston (Belfast tenor from long ago) or the late Kenneth McKellar (Scottish tenor, both active in Scottish and Irish repertoire). Emmet even dares to show his feelings, which results in coming very close to the hearts of the listeners. Not macho at all, but very vulnarable. Bravo! He is young and engaging and respects the old melody and reproduces it in a way, that you keep on coming back to this performence. Very well done Emmet, keep it this way, don't change this performance of Danny Boy. - **** p.s.We wonder if you are somehow related to 2 very big Cahill-names in Irish music. First Patricia Cahill (1945, very famous singer(soprano)in the seventies/eighties, one of her many LP's is called Danny Boy) and secondly the famous soprano Teresa Cahill(1944), who made a big international career. She lives in the UK now and Patricia in Spain. Related to any of them Emmet? And now that we discovered you , we start immediately to surf on youtube to find out what we missed in previous years. But this first acquaintance on youtube (may 2021, better late than never!) was already the find of the year and we came on your platform because of that famous name Cahill in Irish music. Good luck, good health and thanks for the joy you bring to many; us included . Love and admiration from overseas!

I have a one hour commute to the hospital I practice at....no, not music practice but anesthesia 😷💉...that was my alternative to a career in music. My commute is music, music, music, NOW it is Emmet, Emmet, Emmet🎤🎼🎶🎹...You take me to another realm and my patients thank you for it!❤

Mr. Cahill, Thank you for talking time out of what must be a busy schedule to acknowledge my as well as others comments it is very thoughtful. Just a thought I'd like to share.The way you carry yourself and of course the way in which you generously share your talent with the world represents one of the most prescious gifts that humanity depends on as to remind ourselves and more importantly to guide our future generations as they look back at their ancestral accomplishments.You still have so much to offer and you've already done the greatest thing a person can aspire to do and that is to leave your mark on the world a mark that shows you contributed to the betterment of humanity therefore making the world a better place to live in. Good luck and Godspeed in all that you and yours desire Peace Always-cv

Thank you for sharing this beautiful song! I was born in an Irish Catholic area of New York and have been listening to this beautiful tune all my life! St. Patty’s Day is synonymous with Danny Boy!

[@louiselabarbera3004]

Same here. I lived in a parish that was 90 percent Irish. Danny Boy was my favorite.

Something about an Irish voice just melts my heart

[@cartnhorse]

Exquisite! Precisely how this classic should be performed in every way. Thank you for posting this.

[@SEW_B]

Emmet Cahill, you are quite the artist. Your voice is so beautiful. This performance of Danny Boy is loving and lovely, and the pianist who accompanied you is marvelous, as well.

[@Rory99M]

Wow! Amazing. Great to hear the Irish accent on this one.

[@SMcCaskill]

I had always felt a tug towards Ireland in my heart. It was just a few years ago that we learned that my mother's paternal grandfather and great grandparents had immigrated from Ireland to the USA in the latter part of the 1800s. I've always loved this song.

[@johnbalao711]

You are a national treasure of Ireland all over the world people are very delighted to watch your superb performance.

[@elliotportner8020]

So beautifully delivered as a fine lyrical tenor and totally perfect sound and delivery
