The Parting Glass sung by The Voice Squad

[@kingalthe1st]

This is still the best version of this song that I've heard.

[@cianwalker1829]

Seconded

[@fcb9950]

Yes and then comes Ed Sheeran and drives a horse and coaches through it. Stay away Sheeran!

[@markmazut5827]

absolutely brilliant. I have dear old friends in Ireland and bought this on tape on one of my trips there many years ago. Sadly some of my friends have passed on but these voices never fail to bring a back fond memories of my times in Clare and the west of Ireland. Beautiful people, beautiful place, beautiful music.

[@JohnHirsch88]

Best version!

[@bertaga41]

Beautiful! What gorgeous harmonies.I love the fact that all three voices are so distinct and add to the feeling in the song rather than just having harmony for its own sake.

[@gerwynevans2729]

In heaven every pub will have this on a jukebox and it will be played as I leave to get my fish n chips.

[@elrioviolino3549]

Of all the money e're I had, I spent it in good company And all the harm I've ever done, alas it was to none but me And all that I've done for want of wit, to memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass, goodnight and joy be to you all If I had money enough to spend, and leisure time to sit awhile There is a fair maid in this town, that surely has me heart beguiled Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, I own she has me heart enthralled So fill to me the parting glass, goodnight and joy be to you all Of all the comrades e're I had, they are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts e're I had, they'd wish me one more day to stay But since it fell into my lot, that I should rise and you should not I gently rise and softly call, goodnight and joy be to you all.

Chills/goosebumps everytime! Last song my sister and I listened to as they closed the casket of our one and only Papa (RIP 10/1930 - 9/2010)

[@adriennekraft2381]

Wonderful a cappella harminizing. Incredible sense of pitch.

[@NiallMor]

Magnificent.

[@clarebannerman]

I remember this group from the 70's. I liked them a lot.........have this one on an old video clip.

[@SirNevyn]

I've been looking for a copy of this for ages. Thanks for posting.

[@mouldybear]

Just my favourite version of this great song. I'm very pleased about the news that this group are to reform.

[@adriennekraft2381]

Great a cappella harmonizing. What talented musicians !

[@adriennekraft2381]

Sorry for the repeat, thought 1st comment got lost - silly mistake.

[@johnstrohsnitter3037]

Great song to listen and sing

[@donnagermano]

Best version I've ever heard outside of their recording on the CD "Many's the Foolish Youth". Just a little tighter on the CD. (Should be the 3 of them singing.) Beats the big production versions...won't mention names. Thanks for posting! Hard to find them!

[@MegaGandalf15]

What a beautiful song, too bad we do not have this kind of music in Mex. Cheers.

[@Ianjcarroll]

i hope the world is being good to you both.

[@fire.smok3]

Melancholic and sweet

[@raymondcrooke]

Lovely video, Alan.

[@georgeaberhonddu]

Saw them in Sidmouth 2012 - brilliant

[@Christine7729]

I totally love it

[@dch888]

Very moving and sad, and very beautifully sung.

[@jcw001]

[@blinddrunkal]

@gerdenshed thanks Mark - the video started in Whittington, Shropshire, then to a couple of local shots - moving on the Eglwys Beuno Sant (St. Beuno's Church) in Clynnog Fawr.

[@murt2006]

stunning, after listening to the budget over the last few days, thinking of all who have left in the last few years and those who will leave soon, breaks my f*"king heart (sorry for the language) but thats straight from the heart

[@paulmarrs4248]

Very heart warming to all people.

[@Ianjcarroll]

[@MrCajunmojo]

Best version.

[@gerdenshed]

Excellent my friend... Where was the video taken? Mark...

[@batum44]

Have you ever written down these so beautiful harmonies? Can i buy a copy?

[@LeeMitchellAcoustic]

Sheer beauty. None compare with The Voice Squad...

[@EdwardRoche]

Where in Ireland did you take these videos? I'm pretty familiar with Kerry so wondered. Thanks.

[@jameswburke]

A fitting song for all the young Irish people having to leave Ireland to find work.

[@johnfinbarburke]
