Skibbereen

Don Stiffe singing Skibbereen on the John Spillane presented "NA BAILÉID" on TG4 in September 2016

[@jenniferguerra8484]

What a story 😢 what a voice, I could listen to him sing forever ❤

[@johnmccormack2046]

Iv listened to this song at least 100 times. I am still in tears listening as Irish man. This is a song that embodies reality for my poor ancestors who died in their droves.

I'm french and my english is very bad... I've 14 years old and y love this song, i love your voice 😍 In English class we studied Ireland, and especially Skibereen and I loved this story that makes sense ... So thank you for singing it so well

[@Kitiwake]

It's so sad that you use the history of Ireland to study English.

[@gloin10]

@@Kitiwake You'd prefer they studied English history?

[@montex23]

​@@Kitiwake at least something is studied, that's not so sad. Life is full of mysteries, up to us to cheer it up. You can come to France to see what's left of "our" culture, you'll be happy to be back in Ireland :)

The fact that there are 3 thumbs down tells me that no matter what you give this world there will always be those who disapprove. Top class from Mr Stiffe...one of the genuine gents!

A beautiful and moving story involving so many terrible happenings to so many good Irishmen and Women. I praise God for the Irish in my blood, whatever it may be. Yourself and John Horgan both bring emotion. Thank you

Great song,really love it,my old man wish he could sing that for my dad🙏🏻💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@jimmycrowley5703]

Don as a West Cork man living in Galway I have to say this is a most beautiful version of this haunting song. When all this current situation is over I’d love to hear you sing this live. Maybe in Coli’s someday?

[@annesummers09]

The best rendition I've heard yet. Thanks.

[@HaveYouMetDave]

Saw this on TG4 today, and it was captivating. Well done, gorgeous rendition.

[@DanielOSullivan57]

Beautifully sung with soul, maith an fear.

[@SuperFireball10]

Don't usually comment but this is such a moving performance. Hairs standing on end, tears in eyes stuff. This man Don Stiffe is a 21st century soul singer. Superb. Ottis Reading, Sam Cooke, Bill Withers...Don Stiffe ...sounds like a good fit to me!

It’s moving cause it’s true. As Don says at the start there were literally thousands buried in an unmarked grave. It’s a beautiful moving version by Don

[@seancoughlan1092]

I knew this man could sing but this brings it to a new level - Excellent....

[@jameshenrymurphy]

It is a great privilege to hear Don singing this song.He has made it his own.

[@xeroxene]

This brings me to tears every time. Nobody comes close to singing this like Don does.

[@fasttrain3]

Mr.Don Stiffe , thank you very much for such a moving rendition of this song !!

[@isabelamartins1041]

I don't get tired of listen to this... Just perfect.

[@bridiedevane1137]

I’m a native of Skibbereen and Don does a great job on the song.

[@silverbullag4759]

Your an incredible artist Don with a natural ability to bring the emotion of the story to the song

[@Jennifer-cl1cl]

I'm descended from Famine refugees on my father's side - my Farrell ancestors were from Longford, but family legend has it that my other ancestors were from somewhere in Cork. I cannot listen to this song without wondering if my great-great-great grandfather might have come from Skibbereen - if this song is describing some of the things he saw before he was thrown onto a coffin ship and dropped off in a new land that had no love for him. God keep you, Thomas Conboy - may the happiness of my life serve as your revenge for Skibbereen. I will keep you in my memory until the day I die.

[@danieldoyle3605]

Unreal great voice and the backing on piano makes it more haunting

[@anthonymulcahy1166]

[@23drcharles]

This song gives a great context to explore the great famine in Ireland. The mass migration of the Irish from rural areas to urban areas changed the future of the Irish-Americans. The untold story of the British role in the Irish famine is very rarely explored in American history.
