The Chieftains & The Low Anthem at WGBH

This piece starts with a recording of a young choir from Dublin - which includes Paddy Moloney's grandson - singing a popular Gaelic children's song. Low Anthem's Ben Knox Miller then sings Schooldays Over, a song about child labor in the mines.
During a world tour celebrating 50 years as one of the most celebrated traditional Irish bands in history, The Chieftains stopped by WGBH's Fraser Studio to share some tunes and have a few beers with fans and members of the WGBH Celtic Club. This is their performance of "School Days Over" from their new album Voice of Ages featuring The Low Anthem.

Wonderful Song ! Love it ! This is very different to the famous Luke Kelly version, but it is excellent also ! The vocals are more gentle and laid back, & the music of the Chieftains is just fantastic ! Marvelous Video ! It is very well made, and the sound is very good ! Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous upload ! 5*****+

Very beautiful, sad, sad song. I cannot imagine sending the necessity of my sons to work a coal mine as youngsters, as the father in this song must do...
