My father used to take me to this little pub to listen to them play. They gave us a cassette back in the early 90s. My father listened to that cassette up until his passing last year. Thank you for that.
I grew up on Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn in a local pub know as the Ashford Arms and we would come to see Frank and Rafeael play there. My favorite time period of my life Many freinds made and good times had. Arty and Karen
I’m so happy I found this!! I was unable to replace my broken CD from some many years ago.
They Played @ my parents wedding in queens 1988.
I was so happy to find this version. My mother loved Erin's Pride and became quite good friends them. She now battles Advanced Alzheimer's but this brought a smile to her face! Thanks for sharing this!
I love it also. I met them a couple of times when they performed at Irish Festivals in South Florida. Are they still around and performing? I think they were based in Long Island. This song reminds me of Mom's story of their Mom's running a boarding house in Manhattan with boarders being Irish immigrants, family, and being like song suggest. There were even one or two "sandhogs". (constructing subways). :-) Song exudes that atmosphere.
I am so pleased to find Frank O'Farrell published at last on you tube. Loved him since the late 70s when he
performed as a One Man Band in the pubs of Tooting, South London. Great singer. Sadly missed.
