Piaras Ó Lorcáin - The Valley of Knockanure live from Kinsale

[@ceciliaapellidoapellido5125]

As I told Piaras myself, he has such a magic, in his way of singing, able to transmit the pain and emotion beyond Irish people and Irish History. I am Spanish, living in Spain, obviously not closer to irish history as an Irish, AND HOWEVER cry everytime. Had the chance to listen to him in Newry and Belfast.

I'm from Knockanure and I've heard this song sung since I was a child. This version is by far my favourite. He has such a mesmerising quality to his voice, it's hypnotising. Such a gifter singe, and a ginger like myself. 😊

[@angloirishproductions]

Thank you! :)

[@robertoleary4974]

This is something else, vocals that are truely haunting. This young man is an awesome singer of Irish ballads and history. Fair play.

[@tonysinnott2785]

Great rendition ,be proud young man , god rest those brave men who lost their lives in the valley of knockanure RIP 🙏.

[@mckirrane4160]

Piaras is something else. A very endearing young man, who sings with such compassion, and has a voice that exceeds his years, which both beautiful and rare at the same time. The future of traditional Irish music is truly safe in your hands. ❤ 🇮🇪 🎶 💚

[@sini21]

Undoubtedly one of the best renditions of this ballad we’ve ever heard. And not forgetting the brilliant Jack accompanying on guitar. Bravo lads.

[@annamariestackrivas8392]

Best version ever!! So important to keep our patriot dead memories alive. This young man has some career ahead of him. My 10 year old son loves the patriot songs because of this young man. ❤❤

[@debcarroll8192]

How american pop melody became a 'traditional Irish ' ballad

[@angloirishproductions]

It's very well documented that the vast majority of Traditional Irish Ballads lived as poems for decades before music was put to them. Sure, listen to Raglan Road. The melody there is also very familiar... Out of curiosity, what "pop melody" did this song take inspiration from?

[@Haze-sey]

An amazing Irish Man! Why is he the only Irish person there?

[@angloirishproductions]

Don't know how to break this to you.... Jack is Irish and the show was in Kinsale, can't get more Irish than that....

[@johnkiernan287]

Sorry but it seems nowadays all these young spring of singers we are having , just want to sound like Christy, no feel no passion, like reading poems out of a book job, 😔👍

[@CiaranConnolly-k3i]

He sounds nothing like Moore... He's also better than Moore.

[@johnkiernan287]

We have a few young kids on the block now, never thought I’d see the day when finding a decent Irish folk singer would get like bloody X factor, 😂😂😂

[@angloirishproductions]

The next generation of irish folk is in safe hands!!
