It's a bright, sunny day here in Milwaukee, so let's dream back to August 22, 1982 and a set of reels from De Danann recorded live at the second Milwaukee Irish Fest! The band introduces these as Eddie Kelly's/Paddy Fahey's.

Fascinating to hear how this tune has evolved, it’s quite different to my ear now in a lot of sessions, though there are recognisable elements retained.
Yeah, it's super cool to hear yeah? Though, I'd suggest the common session version didn't stem from Cronin's version. O'Neill's collection already has a few variations of the tune family alongside Cronin's Banish Misfortune. One called the Humours of Mullinafauna is probably closer to what you're thinking of, but without the 3rd part.
I'm 58/USA & was taught this song for a school concert in 2nd grade. Had the chorus running through my head this morning & found this gem 💖 Anither song was "The Keeper of the Eddystone Light. Or Eddy Stone. Not sure. And 'Goober Peas', a civil war song about eating peanuts. I doubt any of this culture is allowed to be taught in school any more, because we have to pretend we're born evil.
haven haven't seen this interview before. We have followed Jeff and the band for many years. What a good time each time! Please come back Jeff!!! Much love P and D
And tell JJ and the Yardarm to bring you back...HUGE audience!
Hello, I'm doing a podcast on Irish Music for a French production. Would it be okay if I use a short bit of this clip ? Thanks a million!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful history!
Miss him. I'm italian, here in Italy irish music it's not so popular but Mr Peoples was one of my idols as a teenager. I went to Rome to listen to him live, many years ago, a very beautiful experience for me
Great stuff lads
🥰🧚🙌🇦🇷🎥🎞️
The BEST! Dad's favorite song. He would have LOVED this version! Happy St Paddy's Day!
Brendan, I remember many wonderful nights at The Old Dublin back in the late 1980s... I hope you are keeping well.
So very true, there is no neutral in the spirit world if we are not seeking God we are being led away. Spend time every day with Jesus and his word, with the help of the Holy Spirit he will guide you. Pray for Ireland- Deception is everywhere.
What a feckin lovely player x
my Mother Mary McGannon used to play with Tommy every Tuesday in Brogan's in Ennis and later they played at the poetry and music festival in Derry for those who knew my mother she passed away on Friday the 24th of February 2024
His variations and pipemanship are masterful. I used to dismiss these recordings as poor quality and unlistenable but their value to living pipers can not be overstated.
9This tune had the 4th part in its first printed version, in Nathaniel Gow's Fifth Collection of Strathspeys, Reels, etc. (Edinburgh, 1809), where it is identified as "Irish," although the fourth part is attributed to "Mr. Sharpe of Hoddam.".

Long time ago - mid 1970s I spent 3 months in Camus (which is in Connemara) Co. Galway on an Irish language course. The house I stayed in had no electricity - juts Tilley lamps for light. They had, though, an old 78 Gramophone, and must have had 20+ 78s of the McNulty Family, playing and singing. They had a version of Concannon (?) which Mary Black sang in the 80s. All-in-all, their music was brilliant. I'd think the family in Camus -Seoige (Joyce)- would have had the 78s posted in from America. Thanks for relighting my interest in them. Camus = Cam Uisce = Bend of water
Absolute Genius!
Loved this ,I spent some time in Ring College in my teenage years,Loved this area and atook a ride out on one of the boats,Loved the Clancy's and Tommy Makem ,met them all.way back.
Came here - Lankum No.1 album Guardian - interview with Daragh Lynch. 'Clear away in the morning' is lovely on their album, nearly 50 years after this! Best wishes, Gordon Bok!
Just great
Wow! Where did this video come from? What a treat to see Gordon Bok so early in his career!
Lovely rousing thrilling, yet very rare setting of this great lrish jig The likes of Touhey, Coleman and others too in exile in the USA place our music firmly on the music calendar
More of this please 🎶
It's a rip off of the popular song by Harry Hipster Gibson called " Who put the Benzedrine in Mrs Murphy ovaltine" for a whiter audience
Master Kevin at work
Makem was my inspiration to learn tin whistle
Me too!
Great to see this .Love the variation of Lammas Tide that old Border Ballad put to music by the late Roy Williamson

I am 70 now.. I am glad I have been a Clancy Fan from the first time I ever discovered them.
My Dad loved his voice... No more singers like this, anymore, sadly... 😢
I want the Maxwell Girls to sing at my funeral. Then chowder for everyone!

Thanks for sharing.Thanks Patsy for your life, legacy and music making. You have brought so much to so many. May your memory continue to flourish.
