[@MissBonchy]

Impossible to listen to this song without moving your feet

[@aarphi1984]

It's actually used by hospitals in Ireland to certify death.

[@patrioticarchive]

So true! Tapping my feet as I type this lol

[@tanyamccord7422]

It makes me want to dance the Irish jig!

[@tribblebooth1224]

Not if you nail them to the floor.

Gloriosa ballata Irlandese, con uno dei massimi interpreti ! CHAPEAU !!!!

[@bigfanj.c.8606]

Geweldig toch dat 2 van die mannen op gevorderde leeftijd zo prachtig kunnen spelen met zoveel plezier, swingend en met a big smile.

[@alanstrong3295]

Even a sour pickle would love this song. If I have a tough day, this song brightens it up. Yes! ALAN 😃😃😃😃

[@TheM2heavy]

[@johanalbada1477]

Rip Eamonn Campbell

[@hotwax9376]

Best version I've seen, even if he doesn't speed up with every repetition. In a way, that makes it better.

[@sarten2665]

In love with this melody..artists have done complete just to it.

[@richardblair-brown7779]

it's doesn't get better this then so much joy happiness rejoicing happiness the antidote to depression you can't bring the man down no matter what Irish eyes are smiling in spite of everything they March on to glorious triumphs victory &rout all other force that oppose them give praise God amen !!!!!

[@der_konstanzer]

Man.. such old guys kick the shit out! Love it :)

[@NapBoney]

John Sheahan is the best!

[@CastielCosplay]

Wow i luv being irish. This song made me get up and dance. Lol

[@kathyking1694]

my Irish mother's favourite tune

[@tinameier2217]

BEST EVER!

[@lucreziadicocco2717]

I want to play violin like him ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@bigfanj.c.8606]

Eigenlijk vind ik John Sheahan nu leuker om te zien dan toen hij nog jong was, was een ruig type toen daar hou ik niet zo van maar wat kunnen die twee spelen, Grandioos.

[@MasterFuckingYoda]

Music is magic !

[@JonathanAnon]

Thanks for the upload.. excellent

[@999TheJoseph]

Andre Rieu's orchestra is overkill. One violin and one guitar in the right hands is when this song is at its best.

[@colleenwoodland4574]

I love both!

[@Sanguinor_Energy]

KILLED IT

[@תמרהילמן]

[@bigfanj.c.8606]

Die John Sheahan heeft ook echt een pretgezicht ook wanneer hij amen speelt met André Rieu

[@albertsmith1048]

Top man on the fiddle is John.

[@verofrefra5008]

😍😍😍

[@luiscorreia847]

Watch john Sheehan and andre rieu to see a great version of this song

[@trang229]

Love you my dear

[@Zoaquin]

@wwcircle i also prefer this version more than André Rieu's...

[@janimbesi1511]

[@brucecollins4729]

[@dircetecedor3271]

danhe

[@Zoaquin]

@wwcircle ur welcome ^^

[@alanstrong3295]

I should have had someone play this tune for my paternal grandpa in his final days at the nursing home. He would have been delighted. Not Irish. That would not have mattered.

[@gerryyy]

eamonn campbell

[@callofduty3807]

So, am I the only one who thinks that Dumbledore can play the guitar?

[@dareisnogod5711]

OOSE JOHN SHEENEN ?

[@BicycleFanatic89]

Ohh man, look, sorry, you have absolute right, I did wrong and sorry. Yesterday i was drunk a lot, so I behaved as idiot. Sorry. Greets for Dubliners, Irish people and all others! Cheers ;)

[@LuckyXCX]

Wow I didn't know Hershel from TWD can play fiddle

[@lolzkyle144]

omg it's true.

[@catarinajohnson9041]

On the violin I'm playing the same song

[@QMPhilosophe]

Macdonald is dead and Macgregor don't know it, And Macgregor is dead and Macdonald don't know it, They're both lying dead in the very same bed, And neither one knows that the other one's dead! Ahh....use to sing this at Maggie Mae's in Austin.

@laSerafo Your one year old comment made me laugh.

[@daniel514ish]

[@alanstrong3295]

Quite a tune. JFK would have loved this.

[@marcioroberto7423]

BANSHEE

[@bigfanj.c.8606]

Dat rechtse mannetje, niet meer zo vief maar toch met een ongelooflijke energie en enthousiasme.

[@HereForTheShips]

I was born in the wrong country. I should have been born in Ireland or Scotland.

[@pablotabuenca3032]

I realy like this song, but I play the violin and this song more quick

[@abiezercoppe8886]

It's a tune, not a song. Songs have a tune and lyrics that are sung.

[@the-fiddling-fox]

@Paola Tabuenca Playing it faster doesn’t make it better!

[@johntaylor5605]

Fantastic old English folk tune this ...

[@johntaylor5605]

Seamus666Seamus No its not .... Although the tune has popularly been known as an old, and perhaps quintessential Irish jig, it has been proposed by some writers to have been an English country dance tune that was published in the 17th century and probably known in the late 16th century. Samuel Bayard (1981), for example, concludes it probably was English in origin rather than Irish, being derived from the air called "Dargason," or "Sedany"

[@abiezercoppe8886]

Actually, he's correct. Look up "The Country Courtship", printed in the Playford dancing master series in the early 18th century. An English country dance tune. In fact, when pointed out, it becomes obvious when you are familiar with the style. The tune was still being printed as "The country courtship" right into the 19th century (eg Chapell in the 1850s), but the name of the tune gradually changed to the variously "The Wash Woman", "The Washerwoman" and then popularised as "The Irish Washerwoman". Its status as an Irish tune was cemented in the US with it being the "go to" tune on stage and then in film for anything Irish. Instead of getting all nationalist about it, let's celebrate the fact that the folk music of Britain and Ireland is a shared heritage. England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland have been exchanging songs, tunes and dances for centuries. Different regions have developed their own take on this shared tradition (a bit like dialects in a language) with different styles of tunes and dances being popular.

[@Foxglove_fairy]

You're a dirty pig, you knew well you'd get an angry reply saying that.

[@09606909]

Actually it is you who is right. This is Eamonn not Barney (who only played the banjo anyhow).

[@Irishmankillen666]

Tis nat a violin tis a fiddle lol

[@mels3397]

It's the same thing.

[@Irishmankillen666]
