It still hits with more Passion Now. Friends can disagree at the roll of a dice, a cup of, a slip of a stout or ale... May there never be a trespass with family and friends.

pratically made me cry its so beautiful to see people be happy together like this

[@moonrisehowler1842]

I know, the more I listened to this song the more I realized how happy these people are to sing and rejoice together and what really touched me was the line "For we may not or never meet here again", so they're making the most of the moment ^_^

This became a ritual of my LARP group at the end of the weekend. It got so popular that half the game and the plot team was with us. Unknown to mot of us, my daughter played it at the end of her wedding. since half of us were players, we all started singing. Everyone else is looking around trying to figure out why so many people know the words. :)

What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing ☺️

Best way to end a festival

[@81auther-ns3fi]

I feel like my body is full of strength every time I listen 🥺

[@Spncr313]

A toast! may next next year come as swift as drunkeness, and stay long like a hangover!

[@granular_quality8011]

I was introduced to this song through Owain Phyfe at the Bristol Renaissance fair in the 90's. I recently learned of his passing. Seeing a full company singing this, it's beautiful. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving 2021, and I am thankful for companions a day revelry. In the times of the pandemic, we may or might never all meet here again. But when we do gather I'll sing this everytime.

[@nbenefiel]

My Renn faire years were some of the happiest of my life.

[@gremlin1018]

Nancy Benefiel Last year was my first year working a renn faire. I must say, it’s the happiest I’ve been in a long time.

[@raeyth_]

This is still a staple of my local Ren Faire, and it's the most beautiful thing to experience

[@patrickbertlein620]

This guy is fucking brilliant by the way, never been a huge fan of the Renaissance thing, but this dude. Wow!!! The part he sang at the end, he made up, perfectly in tune with the song.

[@myfamilyiscrazy]

i always get goosebumps when i hear this song at renfest... especially on the last day... then i start crying when i realize i have to wait a WHOLE YEAR till next fair... at least celtic mayhem is in ft.lauderdale every other weekend.

[@irvalfirestar6265]

Not even in the scene, let alone went to a ren faire, and this video gave me the feeling of an unforgettable event from a bygone era that I’ll never again be able to visit ever again

[@lewiswhite95]

Got me with that mid summer dream at the beginning.

[@ZuzkaBellydance]

this song is always the cherry on top of the festival

[@Damianuss1]

Absolutely brilliant. The best version I've heard.

[@ChrisBrunelle]

This is what humans are meant to be doing. :-)

[@GreenElfMom]

Thank you for the gift of this song. Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again! Blessed be!

[@joannadee6422]

This is pure magic. I feel as if I've genuinely traveled in time just watching the video, I can only imagine the beautiful spirit which was there in person. Thank you for sharing, and may you all be blessed 💚💙💚

For John Diamond, Paul Stickney (The Cardinal), David (Queen of Hearts) and CJ (Colonel Peackock). My forever FLARF friends 🥰

[@TheEternalElir]

I always watch this when I'm feeling down. Thanks for capturing this beautiful moment

[@craiglongan]

I love this song.

[@rich-wg5lb]

I had to look this song up after hearing it at the end of the Brevard Renaissance Faire at Wickham Park fantasy theme weekend (01/23-24/2021) I never heard this song before.

[@patrickbertlein620]

It's a song from Ireland, a traditional tune. Quite the tear jerker.

[@tramlink8544]

that and parting glass i love so much

[@Pghgirl324]

What a beautiful song.Paul Stickney brought this song up to CT this past spring and it was fantastic. Brings a tear to my eye. Looking forward to coming down to see FLRF and sing it there.

[@DungNguyen-tc7un]

So beautiful

[@rmcdaniel423]

Absolutely splendid!! Great group. Great musicians. Great version of the song. Great singing. Great emotion. Truly great! Thank you for sharing this.

[@mercedesgou7352]

WOW!!! Thank you for this video, I really enjoyed it. We were so much younger too!!!

[@SeaWolfSong]

@cbvalden, Thank you very much for your comment. I agree the pub sing is usually the best part of the day. We actually just got very lucky with this video to capture a special moment. It was a unique heart-felt bonding with everybody at this very final song of the Festival that I think comes through the video. Every time I watch this myself, I continue to see all kinds of little stories played out in the background among all the singers toasting each others' health. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@migdalya58]

This sums it all up. This is wonderful. I can't stop singing with it. Thanks for posting.

[@stephanie5932]

I listen to this often. I also want to go there next year.

[@artemiodutra9476]

❤🇧🇷 the beautiful music

[@cbvalden]

This is the best video I've yet seen of this haunting and lovely song. Thanks for posting it. The best part of any renfest, by far, has got to be the pub sing! Huzzah!

[@edithann1284]

What a joyous occasion! Warms my heart.

I'm from Germany and I'm doing viking reenactment...in museums and so on. So I always looked critically on this American renaissance fairs....but this really looks like a very cool atmosphere....but the costumes are still strange to me : )

[@jagc1969]

Their concept of Renaissance is quite ... funny.

[@GreenElfMom]

Renn fairs are a great deal of fun!

[@RushHourSoul]

American renaissance festivals aren’t historical re-enactments, but rather inspired by history. People go for escapism, fun and camaraderie, and this video is a perfect example.

[@alizone_]

Caramba mano sou brasileiro oq é que eu estou fazendo aqui,bom de qualquer forma a musica é boa

[@aliceseterval450]

Não é maravilhosa????? Espero um dia poder ir a um festival desses. Lindo demais 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Why do america have so many Renaissance festivals when they had no Renaissance?

[@AimanJadue]

ShortFunniesTV well, i think it might have something to do with the fact that modern america was founded by people who had renaissance.
