a song isn't just about singing it. it is about telling it. I think Clancy Brothers did a great job in bringing songs alive.

David O'Connell, that's what I love about Irish Folk: it's not about how good you are at singing, but it's all about how much you enjoy singing. In general in singing the main thing is how much you enjoy singing, but in Irish Folk in particular, most of the songs are simple, easy, you don't need to be Pavaroti to sing them, but if you enjoy singing the audiabce will love your performance and in a pub or concert hall, which you are performing at will be such a great atmosphere, which can not be found in La Scalla or anywhere else.

As a Turkish guy, I find Irish folk culture fascinating. Universal, true compassion for the fellow men and the beauty of our nature are underlined in subtexts in every song. This type of music has simple, pure human emotions vibrating all over the notes. Especially Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem performing feels like they are taking you to a trip. You are visiting the small towns in plains and hills of Ireland, smelling the grass and fresh breeze. One thing that single handedly adds so much authenticity and quality to the Clancy Brothers' songs is, that specific banjo-like instrument which sounds like cow bells at times. Its resonation is very authentic and drops you right into the old times, old towns and old tales. While these guys are the best in my opinion, also Luke Kelly is the closest one to give rise to such a feeling. And others are not even close in quality, at least the ones I already discovered. But, I'm sure of that this culture has many hidden treasures that can't be discovered over the internet.

What a great period of time it was to grow up hearing the Clancy Brothers, and the Irish Rovers. Sadly, it was also a time of conflict in Ireland known as "The Troubles" (see Wikipedia). But the Clancys' music stands the test of time. And I think the "Troubles" are over (or just dormant ?)

While going to the fair of Dingle One fine morning last July While going up the road before me A red haired girl I chanced to spy I went up to her, says I "Young lady My donkey he will carry two But seeing as how you have a donkey To the Dingle fair I'll ride with you" Now, when we reached the town of Dingle I took her hand to say goodbye When a tinker man stepped up beside me And he belted me in my left eye Chorus: Keep your hands off red haired Mary Her and I will soon be wed We'll see the priest this very morning And tonight we'll lie in a married bed Now, I was feeling kind of peevish And my poor old eye was sad and sore So I tapped him gently with my hobnail And he fell back through Murphy's door A policeman came around the corner And he told me I had broke the law Then, the donkey kicked him in the kneecap And he fell down and broke his jaw Then he went off to find his brother The hot biggest man you ever did meet And he gently tapped me with his knuckles And I was minus two front teeth The red haired girl, she kept on smiling "I'll go with you young man" she said "We'll forget the priest this very morning And tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed" (last two lines of chorus): We'll forget the priest this very morning And tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed Now, through the town we rode together My black eye and her red hair Smiling gaily at the tinkers And by God, we were a handsome pair (last two lines of chorus): We'll forget the priest this very morning And tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed
