Irish Sea Sessions 2011 - Go to Sea No More

[@Redbikemaster]

Came from a sci-fi story referencing this song

[@BLACKLIMA]

TheRedbikemaster Humanity! Fuck Yeah!

[@Hydra843]

+TheRedbikemaster Glad not to be alone.

[@Eliseo202]

HAHA, Me too! Humanity! fuck yeah!

[@LordZozzy]

Fucking Humans and their emotional singing.

[@JE-ky2ow]

I did as well

[@logarithmicmoney8942]

2022 I'm still tuning in.....

[@earltaylor1893]

A great delivery of one of my favorite songs. Right up there with Luke Kelly's delivery, which is a huge huge compliment. I used to commercial fish in some horrible sea conditions and Damien captures the emotions I felt.

[@ScarletFyre83]

this is by FAR the BEST version of this song i have ever heard. Absolutely brilliant. cannot get enough. Wish i could see you live!!

[@skipndance]

Scarlet, my cousin was in a band called Howling Gael and we used to listen to all these Irish and old English folk songs when we were little kids. This song was on their album Rant and Roar that came out in 1978. Thought you might enjoy hearing another version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZi8gGOJrJVmeKs

[@MrLikon7]

this is my favourite version kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2Skl2qMrd-lp6c

[@johnminehan1148]

Luke Kelly's version was (characteristically) also great . . . .

[@mowzrascal2350]

Doesn’t even come to close to Luke Kelly’s version lol. That’s who this guy is clearly imitating

[@andreasknutsson1270]

One of my favorite songs of all time, thanks for giving me something else to listen to than the songs they play on the radio.

[@CapitanWillMoran]

What an incredible performance. Greetings from Spain.

[@canvascat]

Great individual performance. These songs were concieved to pass information among the people who had no internet telly or newspapers. As such need to be passed from performer to performer in order to fulfill the aim of it all. Pass it on!!!

[@meexman]

was looking for Dubliners or Luke's version of this .... came across this gem. What a find!. He is some ballad singer, he is made for singing these folk songs like they should be sung

[@РоманШумков-т7й]

Спасибо вам большое!

[@colonialdad1]

Too the liverpool phil thanks for posting . But too Damien Dempsey the biggest thanks. Superb, A great singing voice.

[@Eliseo202]

Is it me, or does it sound like he is saying "Xenomorph"

[@michaeloglialoro8126]

[@marys7319]

loved that reminds me of me dad

[@laksenfranorge]

Damien sings this great! The passion and feeling this song deserves, nailed it. Luke would approve this.

[@kimjohnellis698]

and big it up for the backing vocals and the rest of the band

[@justcitizen7818]

Very clean voice. Kinda nice.

[@mikemacdavy8086]

Great interpretation by Damien Dempsey.

[@paulperkins1615]

This is good, but Jerry Garcia and David Grisman's version of this song is still my favorite. Jerry's voice creaks and groans and hits every note and emotion true, and the guitar and mandolin dance.

[@thelondoner1621]

Grew up with folk music. This song is absolutely my favourite. The Londoner

[@randyhandbag]

well you cant because he has his own style there both legends in there own right and as glen hansard said 'comparison is cancer'

[@annmariecorcoran880]

randyhandbag could not agree more... sick of people trying to take away from Damo by comparing him to Luke Kelly... as if he is unlawfully treading on some holy turf... I love Luke and the Dubliners but Damo is a performer in his own right and if people are reminded of Luke then a great compliment but personally I hear distinct difference between the two. Damo has a different "rawness" to his voice (prob not a word) that is very subtle but recognisable over time and for his part has helped to bring folk music to another generation. Intersti gly he has produced a lot more work in other genres that is excellent

[@BrenneMeirowitz]

This is the best version of this song. Thanks for posting!

[@rxa177]

Brenne Meirowitz Better than Luke Kelly's?

[@EstraNiato]

Sorry but it's light years behind Luke Kelly's version, nice effort though

[@robertflint2549]

A good rendition, but it needs to be sped up a little.

[@chucknoonan6542]

The opening reminds me of Lennons "working class heroe".If it was intentional it's brilliant.....if not....it's still brilliant!

[@gratefulhank]

[@nestoresuarez]

That was one breathtaking performance! I guess it would've sounded great even without the accompaniment.

[@broderickelliott8527]

Best version on KZbin.

[@hardikparmar7666]

🤩

[@kimjohnellis698]

first heard this one on an old Dubliners cassette this is easily as good maybe better God Bless Damo

[@paulbergin6301]

Its better. 👍

[@willbrowning2812]

Fine singer.

[@Acnasheen]

[@folkerthulzebos6533]

[@jamesobrien231]

Finches carry on with you Rocco. You were . Bleeding blessed you are meeting and met the amazing Ruth.

[@cocaloca5402]

does any one know where I can find the Tabs for this version ?

[@martingebler1605]

Speed on 1.25 times is more of my kind... but else - great!

[@hardikparmar7666]

🤩🤯

[@stephencarolan3993]

Mister trying too hard to be like Luke l say to you, B.... S. You should try and find out who Damien is. Obviously you don't now him. He is a gent and great to see live. Get yourself a life and keep listening to Luke, no one can match Luke, but respect Damian. He's a good guy.

[@stephencarolan3993]

How dare you, like Luke was a great singer. This man Damian by far made it his own. He is a true gent. Don't mix up your taughts if you think this man is trying to be somebody else you're wrong. Damian has found his own voice and is a very good performer. You might want to listen to Luke singing this song, then listen to Damian . By far this number is Damien .

[@jamesobrien231]

Are you looking man

[@Marc443]

His voice sounds always pressed and have nothing individual. Roy Buckley or Luke Kelly is an other class!

[@harshtrivedi700]

trying too hard to be luke

[@paulbergin6301]

Stop, that's damien been damien.

[@Sam-mn4ed]

To bank off that? Utter cruelty.

[@Marc443]

Pain for the ears!

[@stephencarolan3993]

Why did you listen, don't judge if you don't play. Even if you do play have respect for other people.

[@Marc443]
