Beautiful song on this Good Friday you ❤

[@liamosullivan927]

When I sit and listen to this beautiful song with so much feelings, I'm always overcome with sadness 😢. Johnny has a way with words god bless him.

[@PegL-u1f]

Johnny - my husband, Brendan Loonam was from Banagher and loved this song very much. He passed in Janaury 2019 but he admired you and your work-- and I still listen to this song feeling very close to him when I do-- thank you.

[@PatKeogh-u4i]

The power of a good song timeless ❤❤❤❤❤

I'm a country music artist from Australia. I stumbled onto this Irish fellow and I'm just amazed. How simplistic his music but how beautiful. I am now playing his songs. Thankyou Johnny McEvoy.

[@johnnymcevoymusic]

Thank you Jason hope you are keeping well and safe and keeping the music alive.

[@deja75m]

[@joelyons7195]

Being a Banagher man who doesn't get home near enough, this song never fails to pull at the heart strings. Thank you Johnny.

[@philcraughwell7595]

Just love that song brings back so many happy memories of the years gone by...such a wonderful singer one of the best..

[@paddycanavan8301]

This is one brilliant song. The fear for Irish folk music is no one is now singing these ballads. Young singers are good but the feelings are leaving from their interpretation of the songs. Johnny is the king of story telling through song. Old school irish folk singer.

[@JamesDavin-t3e]

Johnny you are the most beautiful singer I could listen to you for hours

[@malachymcevoy6160]

Never tire listening to this great man singing

[@MavisTheDrone]

Johnny. You are one hell of a superb guy. Thank you for what you have done.

[@seancrowe8488]

A lovely song well sung. Thank you Johnny.

[@leatheraccessories646]

Johnny! this beautiful song can only be understood by those who have had to leave their country, their birthplaces, among them I am one, my heart is always where you grew up, I listen and a tear appears on my cheek :)

[@tommcknight5709]

Johnny, for me no one can sing a ballad like you, we met one night in the Skerry Inn , you had just recorded Carrickfergus, I had a boat there and we planned to go out and record video but next day weather came bad so we never got out , but I always remember us sharing a drink together it might have been long ago but I remember as if it were yesterday Take Care Tom

[@johnshaughnessy3165]

what a song and what a singer.love it

[@horrorskopf]

Johnny McEvoy - this is Ireland, and Ireland - this is Johnny McEvoy. For almost half a century your songs have been an important part of my life - thanks a lot for always being around me, somehow ...
