Masterless Men - The Parting Glass

The Masterless Men are an amazing band from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. They sing Irish Newfoundland music and I would have to say are my favourite in that genre. If you haven't heard them before, take a listen as I'm sure you'll enjoy them as much as I do. And if you been fortunate enough to be familiar with their music, enjoy again!!

RIP Chuck! You will be missed! 💔 The Masterless Men will never be the same!

[@WhiteCavendish]

Well sung indeed. Our Newfies and their Rock are national treasures.

[@robinaanstey3734]

Masterless Men are my favorite Irish/Newfoundland folk music group. Their music is so haunting and beautifully sung. With every chord, they sing me back home to my native Newfoundland & Labrador 💚🍀

[@hippyable]

They're awesome 👌

[@bobnewton1064]

Just seen them last night and the Irish descendants. Amazing show they put off. All the acts got together for Sam Hall at the end

[@robinaanstey3734]

@@bobnewton1064 I'm so jealous....I was much too far away to attend...I bet they put on quite the show.

[@bobnewton1064]

@@robinaanstey3734 that they did. The drummer for masterless men gave me his drum stick as well.

[@MickKly-ih4it]

Brilliant rendition, I worked with lots of Newfies during my years in Canada 🇨🇦, you'll never meet better people anywhere, they're the true salt of the earth solid and resolute and they sure know how to have fun ❤️.

[@battlehrfred]

sung by the bestests our great newfoundland band!! MASTERLESS ME,unmatched by anyone!!! 100--100

[@mw21ray]

I don't know how I found this song but this is my favorite rendition. I could never ask for a more beautiful melody, instrumentation, or voice for such a tune.

[@TheRacherry]

A fine group. I discovered their music 9 years ago on a trip to Newfoundland. I ended up listening to their songs over and over while putting 2,000 miles on the car in about 10 days. You're right, they are unpretentious, but very talented.

[@larrydrader3720]

We saw them the first time in Terra Nova National Park.It was the 100th anniversary of the founding of the national parks. We were hooked then and been following them ever since.

[@tomhillier3707]

[@clarencenewman5569]

Greatest version ever no one can match this man’s voice. So clear. And definitively the best

[@halbarbour7805]

A tune originally written in Scotland called "Armstrong's goodnight" prior to 1605. But since of course has been wholly embraced by our brothers and sisters the Irish. Beautiful rendition.

[@after9pm2]

Hal Barbour a poem ARMSTRONG'S GOODNIGHT This night is my departing night, For here nae langer must I stay; There's neither friend nor foe o' mine, But wishes me away. What I have done thro' lack of wit, I never, never can recall; I hope ye're a' my friends as yet; Goodnight, and joy be with you all!

[@halbarbour7805]

[@Backwoods83Alberta]

Something else no doubt 😊

[@PadraigGrimes]

Just found them lately, it`s all true what you say. What a band!! I am playing their CD over and over, it`s just that good. They have introduced me to some fine songs that I was not familiar with, would love to see them live.

[@SuperMichaelbennett]

Padraig, U will have to come to Nfld to hear them. As far as I know they rarely go outside the province. Lead singer John Curran visited Ireland the first time about 3 yrs ago on a holiday. He recently suffered a heart attack but is recovering well.

[@PadraigGrimes]

michael bennett Maybe some day Michael when my ship comes in, P.

[@SuperMichaelbennett]

Padraig, In Nfld there is a legend of a band of Irishmen who escaped from the British by going into the Butterpot Mountains of Nfld. They were called the Masterless Men. John Curran and his musicians took that name for their band. I love their version of Sean South of Garryowen

[@PadraigGrimes]

michael bennett That's a good story...it's probably true....thanks for that, P.

[@klai1989]

They are wonderful live

[@rothwellss]

Perfect pace and voice and musicians. Thanks. To fast its like a jig to slow its like a funeral march but this pace is perfect and the voice and musicians just amazing.

[@macster11]

Great band,love to have ye over for the Waterford/Newfoundland festival next March

[@peeweeagent007]

they ain't half bad... not my fave but definitely up there

[@jamesdolan4042]

Good Irish accents from Canada. Great rendition.

[@nozecone]

Not sure exactly what you mean - but I would assume these Newfoundlanders are singing with their natural accents. But I've never spoken with them!

[@benmorris7276]

the newfies and cape bretoners are the most irish canadians other then the irish born living in canada, mos towns on cape breton island have irish gailic names

[@battlehrfred]

@@benmorris7276 you can definitely add "The Southern Shore" for sure, as these people did attain their unique Dialects for hundreds of years and also some slang saying, and words that is still used in Nfld, are not found ANYWHERE in the world ,but nfld Specific only.

[@steray8one]

cannot find the CD for sale anywhere. Please, please help.

Fred's Records Duckworth Street maybe?
