ever since i discovered this clip, I've been coming back from time to time just to get a bit of positivity.

[@skybluescholar]

Same, the world needs more stuff like this i think

[@skylerjoaquin8666]

Same here.

[@bengroothuis5061]

So true!

[@kevint5391]

Lol... so funny me to... like ten time , it’s so awesome

[@davidhogg657]

I feel you, brother. Me too

[@jellyfish9152]

Love it. Am so glad i found this. The girls behind the singer and musicians were truly enjoying it. Clapping their hands in the air, singing along. People smiling. This is what we want to see. It would have been splendid if some of them danced as well.

[@daibando9893]

Coming back here the night before I find out when I have to start chemotherapy. This is good for the soul.

[@angiecraig3004]

I hope you are doing well

[@brachiosaurus6350]

Good luck thoughts and prayers!

[@emilysha418]

Swift healing to you

[@ericbrett3095]

God be with you during your treatment.

[@deshipe]

Wishing you well with the Chemo. The best thing they had in the center I visited was the bell people rang when they finished the last treatment. When it rang everyone perked up, clapped and cheered. A nearly constant reminder on every trip that you can beat it.

[@samhaswell648]

I'm a bassist, amongst other instruments, and lost one of my best friends who was a drummer to cancer a number of years ago. The smile and look they give eachother at 00:57 ish when the bodhran player gets carried away and changes time for a bar gets me every time. I come back here and watch it from time to time just for that moment. Musicians have a connection when they play together that's special.

[@crookedbuns]

bet he was fantastic on the drums. Sorry about your friend bud

[@nmatthew7469]

They both looked at each other but not at the same moment and each caught the others glance even though they didn't see it directly.love it. Drummer smiled "see what I did?".

[@antmcc3271]

Thank you for sharing that. Watched this many times and never picked up on what you mentioned. Sometimes we all need to be made aware of the beauty in front of us.

[@susannemeyer6988]

I am about to show this clip to my pupils tomorrow so they can learn, enjoy and watch more about plucked instruments from all over the world! Thanks for this amazing clip and these wonderful musicians!

[@trip354]

Gotta be you no mater where you are within respect. Talent is always a point of view.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

100 % respect and admiration, that's brilliant. Wish I could do that. Best wishes from England.

[@Nantosuelta]

This is why I love the Irish so much and am so proud of my Irish heritage

[@phyllispetras8402]

as am I!!!!!

[@phyllispetras8402]

Irish/Greek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Black-Rat]

You got great reasons to be proud of it, this clip is already one of them...

[@markleonard2470]

You’d want to see a Friday night in Dublin haha at a gaf party

[@samanthasays3603]

Same!!!❤❤

[@someoneelsesradio]

First time id ever heard this song, watching this vid. So it will be my definitive version. I've watched a few more versions from various people/bands performing it on KZbin, but they don't move me at all. This version is the purest, rawest, and most honest i've seen.

[@bluewolf37777]

My favorite is still Celtic Thunder when they sang Galway girl. But this one is good too.

[@GregWelburn-r9m]

I watch this video at least 20 times every time I watch it puts a big smile on my face and warms my heart. We need more of this in American airports or just in America.❤

[@malcolmhutchison62]

Real music with no extras that everyone can and does sing along too and tap there feet, absolutely brilliant 👍

[@7927jackpark]

As often as I have seen this (countless) I wish I had been there ... tears of joys, for sure.

[@mildlydistressedmusic]

I have to come back here every once and a while to remind myself that there is possitivity to be found, even in the shittiest of situations.

[@kaitlynmckessy4250]

Amen to that.

[@bengroothuis5061]

Absolutely

[@Windrider6]

Airport operators should take notice. They could have such entertainment "on-call" for delays.

[@catesmith3011]

Grand altogether!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MPDLR]

American here. I dunno know why but I'm captivated by this video. The purity and simplicity of the music. People participating. Authentic music with common culture- not the type of music that has people wagging fingers, bobbing heads and getting angry and violent. People's eyes are clear - not desperate. Just feels and smells different. I love my America - but I feel in some ways, we've gone astray and its getting worse. I've watched this clip daily for a week now.

[@icewaterchrist]

Well, it's a Steve Earle song, so..

[@lspthrattan]

God loved the Irish people so much that he filled them so full of music they just can't hold it in sometimes! What an awesome video, what great music, what good fun! Thank you!

[@ta9197]

Absolutely incredible. I wish i could be so.lucky to see something like this.

[@larrybaldwin8325]

Such a Vibrant Fun Culture!! Soooo Glad am Part Irish

[@kutaman1]

I absolutely love the music of Daoirí Farrell. Him and his band are amazing

[@deepgee9214]

Just joined musicians, clapping and enjoying the music. Most people enjoying the moment rather than taking video to post on social media. So genuine people, hard to see now days. 👏❤

[@Gee-kb2pv]

you have to keep coming back to watch this, Brilliant👍

[@marianacamplese9519]

They had a blast. Wish I could have been there.🌻❤️

[@blacklale3464]

A wonderful gesture made to people waiting for a flight.Galway girl is a beatiful song.This is best interpretaion of these song.A lot of greatings from people of Serbia🇮🇪🇷🇸🍀🍀🍀

[@mariamavakova1409]

That's incredible. Bravo, I'd be thrilled to experience such strong feelings on my travel.

[@RonaldReaganRocks1]

This might be the greatest song ever. Gaelic melodies are the greatest on Earth. The Celts are the most musical people on Earth and have the best music. They totally deserve respect for that, and their music needs to not die out.

[@icewaterchrist]

It was written by an American Country singer, Steve Earle

[@whisperingblues9887]

That was world class just amazing.

[@websurfin9575]

These men should travel the world & give concerts! GREAT music there!!

[@4nativemedicine60]

Praise God. Praise God for men like these, who know how to turn a rough situation into a smooth ride. Praise God and bless these folks.

[@marcussjosund4643]

This video will always give me teras to my eyes and smile to my face, when people brings together and have a great time becuse of music

The Ladys who sing the background vocals are just great!!

[@jaysee7283]

2021.... oh for the long forgotten joy of flight delays. Wish I was stuck at the airport. Be a great day out!

[@OldFarmerJoe1]

Invite an Irish musician a couple of pints, and you will get a moment you will never forget in your life.

[@nathanstrickland6508]

Just brings a smile to your soul!!

[@doughintzsche3219]

I would have LOVED to be there !!!!!!!!!!!

I Say that every time I see this.

Im usually so annoyed in the flight waiting area by people but this looked like it was a blast.

[@yorkshirequeen86]

This clip shows the Irish are the most entertaining ppl ever if this was America they would all be in handcuffs in a no fly list

[@NavyGuy2OO7]

I've been delayed many times and never had anybody bust out into song like this! That's awesome!

[@drjojo5551]

WOW!!!

[@dawndid5972]

Planes of existence offer flight ✈️ in our hearts 💕

[@AlienTreeGuy]

I''ve always said, if I wasn't Swedish I'd be Irish. Looks like a lot of fun! I'd love to visit Dublin again. Beautiful and amazing city and country.

[@TheWickedJuggy]

Everyone on the flight got a permanent buff of inspiration! Bards Rule!

There are many Scotch-Irish in West Virginia. So this music touches my heart. I realize these folks are Irish....... Great job!!!!!!!!

Hold over at the airport plus a free show. Not that bad of a thing to happen. I love it.

Pint of Murphy's lads.

Only sad thing is, that nobody filmed that group of girls in the background. They were so enthusiastic and looked beautifull, even from that distance.😀🥰

[@JeanLIrlandOc]

Comment sublimer une salle d'embarquement ! La musique vivante devrait s'inviter partout ! Bravo les gars !

[@Black-Rat]

En effet, au moins ça permet de baisser la tension, tout ce qui manque c'est la biere et on oublie de s'ennuyer coincés a l'aéroport, tout ça en relaxant avant que le vol soit prêt a prendre les passagers, encore mieux si le party continue une fois dans l'avion....

Soy Español y tengo que decir que me gusta más esta música que las sevillanas, flamenco etc... que dios me perdone. He estado varias veces en Dublin Irlanda y es impresionante la cultura musical que tienen, aparte de esa bonita ciudad, montañas verdes y buena cerveza Guinness, quiero volver algún día donde iba a visitar hace años a mi ex pareja que allí trabajo seis meses, para poder enseñar a mi hijo y mujer actual ese bonito país.

[@kucinggarong1974]

Husband :"babe, i've got delayed flight, can not go back home asap" Wife :"excuse me? so just tell me what is that noise about, you are cheating me?"

Dammit, what is it about Irish music that makes me well up?

[@unnamedperson9964]

Positive: Places and moments like this exist. People vibing in public, swords down, no sniping, just pure joy and togetherness. Negatives: Not in America.

[@grendapoplawski3506]

Watch this probably 4 times every month

Immediately after the song finished, a fight broke out.

That’s an Irish thing 😂😂 beer sing then a fight that’s called a great night 👍

Wonderful.

[@andrewvitale2556]

I put this question to all my irish brothers and sisters out there..please tell me the name of the song ? This performer and band are great and would love to follow. Thanks

[@therise7760]

The song is called The Galway Girl originally recorded by Sharon Shannon, written by Stephen Earle. The guy singing is Daoirí Farrell. Not sure what the band he's with are called there.

[@icewaterchrist]

@@therise7760 @andrewvitale2556 It was initially written and recorded by Steve Earle on his amazing album "Transcendental Blues" in 2000. Sharon Shannon had a big hit with it 8 years later, with Mundy singing the lyrics.

[@ireneshafer4821]

Good time! 👍

[@scar3xcr0]

Americans stuck at airport: "I wanna talk to the manager" Irish stuck at the airport: "I wanna jam"

And then a "Karen" called the cops...

[@katnip2u]

... and the cops joined in ...

[@june2009birth]

...and then they arrested each other. The end.

[@adiarainfoster]

I had to actually look this up. I'm seeing this name in this context more and more often and I have no clue where it started lol. I know at least two people named "Karen" who were very nice people so I was confused! lol Now i feel sorry for them that they are named that, even though they are older than whatever happened to spark this use of the name. o.o
