Future of irish folk music, mighty band, best a luck to them

[@ShapeyFiend]

In a genre highly concerned with authenticity can happily confirm these guys are pure cracked. Dying to see them live again.

[@evigvandrare]

Their live streams are pure class! I'll jump on and watch no matter the time difference with Aus!

[@MrAwsomeshot]

@John Reb you should check out some of the well known big names from the folk game. You can't really talk Irish Folk groups without the Dubliners. Other old names are The Clancy Brothers w/Tommy Makem. The Chieftains. The Wolfe Tones(especially if you like the rebel tunes). Many good solo performers, many of whom played with the Dubs, Christy Moore, Paddy Reilly, Tommy Makem, dominic behan(brother of highly notable writer Bredan Behan), Finbar Furey, Paul Brady, Also don't forget about the Scots lots of great balladeers from Scotland who often sing songs written by Irishman. Dick Gaughan and Hamish Imlach being two of my favorites. The Mary Wallopers big song is actually a Hamish tune "Cod Liver and the Orange juice". There are some crossover type groups I really like too that kind of span traditional folk sound and more modern rock. The Pogues, Thin Lizzy, Floggy molly, Aslan, Snow patrol and a bunch of others.

[@evigvandrare]

@John Reb All the other recommendations here are grand, but I'd also recommend artists like Lankum, Ye Vagabonds, The Bonny Men, Gnoss, Talisk, Sian, Staran, and individual artists like Iona Fyfe, Daoiri Farrell, Lisa O'Neill and Ewan McLennan. Check out the channel run by Myles O'Reilly. He's the Irish version of Gems.

[@cascadecodymusic]

There are people who sing songs and there are people who live and breathe songs. These guys are so steeped in sincerity and are paving a new style of Irish Folk that is gritty truthful and humorous! This life is a little better knowing that the Mary Wallopers are putting in work and playing those songs that belong in a canon that is literally miles deep!

Wow wasn't expecting them to tack on "Sí bheg, sí mhor' at the end, pure class!

I knew that sounded familiar!!!

[@maireadheffernan9943]

Thanks, I couldn't think of the nane of the tune, beautiful on the tenor banjo

[@thefoxandtheivy]

Literally came here to say this. Was brilliant!

[@dubhmor]

I'm about 2.5 years into studying scottish gaelic so I'm familiar with bheag and mhór, but may I ask what the Si means in Irish?

[@prangbro]

@@dubhmorafaik it means something like ‘fairy island’

Love this SO much. Grew up on Irish folk music, travelled there a couple of times and loved every single second. Thanks for the music and the wonderful recording! Chords and lyrics below as always folks! The outro is not 100% as they play slight alterations, but thats the basic idea Intro G D / G A / D / G A D Verses G D / G A Chorus D / G A D Outro D / G D / G A D / D / G D / G A D / G D A [Intro] [Verse 1] Young Kenny and Colley and ould Martin Quinn We made up together to smuggle the tin [Chorus] With me right toorin-arinan, right toorin-arinan Right toorin-anay [Verse 2] We walked all the day boys till the heels they grew raw We hadn't the comfort of lying in the straw [Chorus] With me right toorin-arinan, right toorin-arinan Right toorin-anay [Verse 3] "I'll yoke her", says Colley "I'm wise to her tricks" The more that he yoked her, the more the mare kicked. [Chorus] With me right toorin-arinan, right toorin-arinan Right toorin-anay [Verse 4] "I once had a Piebald all covered in spots Manys the fiver she won in her trots." [Chorus] With me right toorin-arinan, right toorin-arinan Right toorin-anay [Verse 5] Up comes an ould sergeant with a laugh and a grin "I'll put ye in jail boys for smuggling the tin" [Chorus] With me right toorin-arinan, right toorin-arinan Right toorin-anay [Verse 6] Up jumps the ould sergeant with a laugh and a smile "I'll put ye in jail boys for smuggling a while" [Chorus] With me right toorin-arinan, right toorin-arinan Right toorin-anay [Verse 7] Well up jumps young Colley for to make this excuse "If you'll let us all be sir, it's home we will scoot" [Chorus] With me right toorin-arinan, right toorin-arinan Right toorin-anay [Verse 8] We made our way home and we blessed our own faith "To hell with the border, we're in the Free State" [Chorus] With me right toorin-arinan, right toorin-arinan Right toorin-anay [Outro]

We owe ya one as always buddy

[@cedarriver]

@@GemsOnVHS Buy me a beer if I'll ever visit Nashville and we're even haha

[@eoinkearns9615]

The outro is the traditional tune Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór. Nicely played!

[@galaxyanimal]

I think you can do these corrections(but I could be wrong too): Verse 1: "We made up together" for "Made up together" Verse 2: "We walked all the day" for "Well they walked all the day" "We hadn't the comfort of lying in straw" for "They hadn't the comfort of lying in the straw" Verse 3: "The more that he yoked her" for "But the more that he yoked her" Verse 4: "Many's the fiver she won in the trots" for "And many the fiver she won in her trots" Verse 5: "put ye in jail" for "punch ye in jail" Verse 6: "put ye in jail boys for smuggling this while" for "punch ye in jail boys for smuggling a while"

[@cedarriver]

@@galaxyanimal Agree with you on everything and changed it, thanks for that!

Heard Charles once say "we do a bunch of real gritty rebel songs". Been waiting to hear some of those for awhile now.
