One of the finest groups of the last 100 years, right here. Seamus and Winnie, thank you for the decades as ring leaders keeping this together with various players ebbing and flowing. Brilliant!

This is wonderful. We saw this show in Portland OR. Solas brings it!

[@ge009]

I saw them in DC about two weeks ago and they rocked!

[@PackerBronco]

Shamrock City is a great great great great great album. Their best IMHO.

[@yLeprechaun]

It turned out, sadly, to be the culmination of their efforts. We got a great reunion directly after, but sadly the grand scale of this project, and the departure of Niamh, it turned out, was the end of their work together as Solas. But, wow! What a finish!!

[@thomasmcculey7942]

My grannies uncle- Johnny Cannon came from kiltimagh, Mayo to work the Anaconda mine in Butte. He worked hard and died young in Butte!

[@mautahatyara2830]

Picture, in your mind's eye. A long lonely stretch of I-90. The last green sign informs - the next exit in nine miles. I check my perimeter. No LEOs are in sight. I queue up Shamrock City and select "Girls Of The Line". The volume goes up to ELEVEN in my car. I turn on 'autopilot'... Yes, Seamus! It's time, once again to let the car steer while I... CLAP 'N STAMP to their time! Ir doesn't get better than this! Wait! Now they're playing 'Lay Your Money DOWN'!!! Uh-oh! My heart still longs to see Solas one more time... (hank you, Loose Trad, for putting this out there)

No later singers in Solas can be compared with Karan Casey...

[@Synchronicety]

Ich habe kein scheiss Wort verstanden aber geil! 😆🍀🥀

[@Melvorgazh]

Hail Jesus! Iosa Críost abú!

[@hacott102]

So how did Michael Conway die? Did they ever say?

[@petestan]

Looks like it may have been edited out, but sadly he was beaten to death by the police when he failed to 'throw' a fight for the sheriff.

[@hacott102]

Interesting...

[@hacott102]

But quite sad, it's a great song written in honor of him though.

[@JohnSmith-vy4lh]

Great song against the rockefeller owned standard oil.

[@Gonzuller1992]

Actually, it's about the miners in Butte, Montana.
