The Mary Wallopers - The Night the Guards Raided Owney's
Rachaidh an fidléir Doireann Ní Ghlacáin ar thuras ceoil chuig cheithre cheantar éagsúla in Éirinn chun léargas a fháil ar atá i gceist le croílár shaol an cheoil sna ceantair sin. Cé a tháinig rompu agus an bhfuil stíl ar leith ag baint leis na ceantair sin go fóill? Rachfar go croí an cheoil i dtuaisceart Bhaile Átha Cliath, i nDún Dealgan, in iarthar Luimnigh, agus i dtuaisceart an Chláir.
Doireann Ní Ghlacáin heads off with her fiddle on her back, to find out what is happening at the heart of the traditional Irish music scene in four different areas around Ireland. Doireann delves into the music scene in less recognized areas, musically speaking, to see who is playing, what they are playing and where the craic is at. She heads to Dublin’s North side, Dundalk, west Limerick, and north Clare.

Never seen these lads so serious...well It was a ballad about a bar being closed down understandable I suppose. What a great song.

[@stevenfee7032]

Incredible song. The town represented well by a band that incapsulates the spirit of the place

[@artseosamhogriobhta]

Is it planted now too ?

[@4Travelguy]

At the end “that actually happened, yea!” Hahah ye lads are gas

[@huma474]

Great song. Wish you could have been by my pub before it closed. This song alone could have kept it open for another 3 years.

[@wiliamtilley.whatsamatterw2494]

[@ryang5976]

[@domdigger5451]

Finally this song by itself! Saw them I’m Glasgow in March they were mad craic

[@SlinkiestTortoise23]

Have you heard their new stuff? They’ve enlisted a chap from Birmingham (Solo Mojo) that has a computer and they’ve added a drum n bass vibe to it, sounds amazing! Same kinda thing but with electronic beats! They even have a rapper ‘spitting bars’ on one of the tracks! Very forward thinking band and it sounds so good!!!

[@reddwing4368]

​​​@@SlinkiestTortoise23that's how these l That's how these buys got started years ago they were a rap group first! I m very sure you can find the parody type rap songs Their quite good check em out

[@thumbtack40]

This tune is originally a pecker dunne piece, The last of the travelling people…

[@user-vs8jm3bm5c]

Any idea where you can listen to the original?

[@jgdooley2003]

Ewan McColl wrote "Champion at keeping them rolling" to the same tune.

[@patward6567]

God bless Owney Keeper Lit 🪕🎻☘️🙏

[@mattuboyle5891]

Anyone else notice how fantastic the audience is ?

[@Mkinsella1000]

No phones out .. just enjoying the moment

[@WexfordOnYoutube]

It's staged with multiple takes, isn't that obvious? But yeah, amazing audience.🙄

[@mqxogames]

⁠@@WexfordOnKZbin I highly doubt that, it’s not the TG4 docuseries style to stage this sorta stuff.

[@micko6393]

'El Paso'...😉

[@kpman644]

Can anyone tell me where this song came from or did the lads write it?

[@domdigger5451]

I’m sure they learnt it from Eoiny himsel

[@Zach-gr8dv]

Was just wondering who composed the music as well as the tunes been used by The Pogues in the Limerick Rake and The Dubliners in Champions at Keeping Them Rolling. Mary Wallopers deffo have a great song here regardless!

[@SordidandSalted]

The chord progression seems to be quite close to “Last of the Traveling People” by Pecker Dunne and I’ve heard this is a cover by some fella named Oisin Groom

[@rockandrollpaddy]

It's to the tune of The Limerick Rake by The Pogues, Dubliners.

[@edwardmcardle9069]

The melody of this song is "Champion at keeping em Rollin". Not sure they're that authentic.

[@rockstoneballs]

What are you on about

[@boxofswords]
