@@marymoloney5784 each to their own but i would take a high energy band playing music that makes you want to jump around having fun over some girl singing a slow boring ballad about a lost love any day of the week
@@Sean.Ireland they are talented that's what's so sad. They are playing to the paymasters on the BBC. . ...playing the tunes too fast isn't high energy it's just playing the tunes too fast. Jumping around isn't dancing . That's just trashing tradition for a BBC slot. They could be so much better . Look at the way the guy sings just snarling it out in a thuggish way. Very sad to see.
Top 🍌 banana that is right there! The Wallopers are a fantastic band, and yes I’m biased as a banjo player but that is definitely a party whenever and wherever they are playing🎉can’t wait to see them live in Nottingham Rock City in a few months! Best Hootananny performance ever by far🤘
To heck with the PURISTS they are always causing trouble, this is really great music, they continue to keep those forgetter songs to live on forevermore
Never mind young audience - saw them in Bristol on 17th March & this is a band for all ages. Mind you my feet were killing me tge next day!😂 Top class musicians & their musical talent not to be underestimated in this line up.
@@mikmc don't talk down and don't tell me what to do. It's the band making what you call "ejits" of themselves frankly. Wake up guys this take on trad music is out of tune and has had its day

Playing and renewing the songs of my father and my long lost childhood, absolutely feckin awesome to hear these songs being played again. Maybe I'll get to play a tune with them in Dundalk one day soon.
@@sitdowntwice you don't put a film with a comments section on CZcams and not expect comments. If you have a comments section you are asking for comments . Get your brain out of the dustbin and use it
To be fair now, the songs are to be sung however whoever is singing them wants to sing them. The tradition thrives and survives on the old tunes finding new voices and new ears to keep them alive. A generation might not ever find the Clancy Brothers version, except through hearing the Wallopers first. Even if it's not for you, it's good for the lineage and legacy of these songs and the artists who've performed them, not to mention the Wallopers also cherry picking songs like Wexford by the Pecker Dunne purely because of a love of his work and a desire to shine more light on his name and his art. That's not to be sniffed at just because a song doesn't sound like it used to. Go to a live show, see how the lads and Róisín have brought these tunes to a wide, diverse audience who are so passionate about seeing this music coming back to the fore. John Francis Flynn, Lankum, Øxn and more, all these artists are taking tunes from the tradition and morphing them into something beautiful, fresh and new. There's nought worse than being boring, and stuff staying the same across decades and generations and never adapting with people and time would be awful boring.
I am Irish and that was embarassingly awful dross, imo. What year from the 1940s did these guys crawl out from? On the other hand, Muireann Bradley was an exceptional talent.
The song Muireann Bradley played was an old blues called Candyman, first recorded in 1928. In fairness to you, the version she played was closer to Dave Van Ronk's version from 1964. We don't know the original writer of the song. It's often listed as a Rev Gary Davis number but he learned it from a travelling guitarist called Porter Irving in 1905. Much like Dave Van Ronk learned it from the Rev Gary Davis. And now Muireann has learned it too. Great how people keep old songs alive by playing them for us.
Rubbish. You could at least provide subtitles, There is only one Shane MacGowan and they will never ever be in the same class as The Saw Doctors. These guys are pretenders. Everything is at a hundred miles an hour. Can't sing for starters. A mess from start to finish.
Why do you need subtitles first of all and secondly there not trying to copy the Pogues, the Dubliners or anyone else, they are playing the music of their Irish youth, their way without apology or a single flying feck about the opinions of strangers, the songs are sung at the intended speed and if that's an issue then why listen? You've clearly never set foot in a genuine Irish bar and you've definitely never been in a trad session where it gets much crazier than this! Stick to knitting and complaining ye eejit.
These guys are incredible Love them A cross between The Pogues and Dubliners Their energy is on a other level It’s not often you see the crowd at this yearly event off their seats and dancing That says it all Spider Stacy is a god to me My favourite new band Bloody brilliant ❤
Sorry but I really hate this version of holy ground. You are fine musicians but take Irish traditional music and trash it. Speaking from a London Irish family who had to leave Ireland 150 years ago it's clear to me that this generation of privileged Irish know nothing about what it feels like to have to leave with no hope of return. The song deserves more respect. You bawl it out and sell the culture it came from for a slot on the BBC.You do what your paymasters expect and make a joke of Ireland and the culture.
the Dubliners also bawled out this great song it's a song meant to be sung in that mode it's a drinking patriotic song meant to be sung and played with gusto Its not a ballad thankfully My elderly grandparents absolutely loved this song by the Dubliners and the Mary wallopers did it justice the song is meant to be roaring and loud the irish immigrants would have sung this song with gusto in the Irish pubs around the world and never ever would it be sung quietly so I am afraid you don't know what you are talking about The mary wallopers are a fantastic group who are extremely proud of their heritage and nationality and home town you are rude and insulting to the younger generation of Irish people I think you may prefer Daniel O'DONNELL this song not for your ears
@@LouLou-tl1gv we will have to agree to disagree. The band trash their heritage in a way the Dubliners never did. They take down Irish culture in a way the English failed to do over 800 years. Well done young Ireland.If young Ireland can't listen to comments not praising them without feeling insulted then it's hardly the problem of the person commenting is it? I can tell you for a fact that the Irish immigrants would not have listened to this version and their pubs would have emptied fast. By the way I think you have a very weird idea about how Irish immigrants lived their lives and preserved their culture. The pub wasn't where it was at that's for sure....
@@marymoloney5784 i am not talking about 150 years ago Holy ground comes under 50 great Irish drinking songs An old sea shanty bawdy drinking song about thre emigrats heading from cobh in co cork to America Made famous by the Clancy brothers and the Dubliners in 1964

So the lyric
"The good old ship is leaving cove
And I am leaving too"
is "cove" meant to be "Cobh"?
