Nothing like playing the songs from my youth when feeling homesick and dreaming of greener lands. Music transports us all

[@stain4704]

Hits like a truck so it does. Moved to Glasgow a few months ago, missing home. This brings me back to Ennis

[@soldier2297]

Not the home we all left unfortunately. Walk down O Connell Street now. Doesn't look anything like Ireland.

[@MrKrzys01]

I miss 90s Ireland. Don't care what people say, those were THE days!

[@panzermatt]

you're right

[@anfeariontach]

you're dead right bai @@panzermatt

They sure were. 😎👍

So here I am in 2023, 47 years old, and this is still as fresh as it was when I was in my teens.

[@Rhiannoncerysx]

I’m almost 16 and have grown up with this type of music

[@capturedlondon]

I’m 49 and only heard this for the the first time today in 2023 because of Peter Kay on an Irish chat show with a young Henry Kelly lookalike as the host…

[@MrANDYGEEZER]

Im now 59 & my late mum was a beautiful Irish lady from Co Galway & with a Scottish Father & me born in London England & growing up in BristolI but this song makes me feel Irish & proud of it 🍀🤷‍♂️, peaxe and love to all my Mc Donagh, Mc Mahon & Flanagan cousins ❤😉🍻👍

[@seanmcmahon6196]

I'm 47 too and this sounds a bit more interesting and less like boggery rubbish. I guess it was a big hit with the culchies, especially the ones that never went to the big smoke.

[@marymervyn2499]

Same for me.😂

[@stevefraser8071]

One of the greatest Irish bands When I hear any saw doctors tracks It makes me smile and makes me want to dance like my Life depended on it

BIERKELLER... BRISTOL, ENGLAND We lived you guys so much, gave more solidarity to us English of Irish Parents, love the Doctors even 31 years later

[@icalltails]

This song and video is an instant mood lifter. I see so many depictions of people at their worst, brings me down. This is the antidote.

[@SouthSideLimey]

First saw them on the James Whale Radio Show on Yorkshire TV, been a fan ever since. Must've seen them 20+ times over the years but just twice since I moved to the States in 2006. Just turned 59 n be at the Aragon Ballroom Chicago in July!

[@Deirdre-tp2lp]

The saw doctors The first band I loved. I'll never stop. They were great

[@shonabeggs4640]

This will never get old, great song , great Band!

[@dannymurphy7105]

One of the best songs to have ever reached No.1 in the Irish charts.

[@davidmcmonigle4737]

I've just discovered these guys.....My life has changed for the better!

[@jimbab39edin]

Have you been incarcerated lol

[@mairedaly4548]

They're a joy, no. Best live act in Ireland. We've been praying for them to have one last reunion tour. If you ever get the chance to see them... its' the biggest sing along you'll ever attend

[@williammorrissey874]

High kings. And wolfetones

[@SomeRandomsGuy]

It’s been 2 decades since I heard this. Still a cracking song!!

[@buxvan]

Brings back memories of BBC Greater London radio in the early 90’s. Brilliant track. Also liked cry before dawn & Terry Reid

[@bikespip]

I love this track, but I love the video even more, People at their best, joining in no matter how silly they look, Music is all about enjoyment and being part of it. well done :)

[@ge2623]

LOVE you guys. Saw you guys YEARS ago at Irish Fest in Palos Park Illinois. You signed your CD for me and my buddy caught the hat you threw into the audience. Then the next year it was raining and you had to play in a tent and everyone was yelling to sit down and when you came on you told everyone to stand up. BRILLIANT. And we did. LOVE YA!

[@PNEKarl]

Thanks for the party! Love from Preston, England. I wish I could join you. I'm going to play this again.
