This man was one of the best acts in the early folk scene and played folk clubs all over the country ,,,,,a jovial character that was blessed with a brilliant style that suited his style of guitar ,,,,,,I booked him a few times and he was always very accommodating when it came to payment of his fee ,,,,,,,I remember once we hadn’t changed the two Bob bits and half croons intae pound notes ,,,,,,just pile it aw in there son was his reply ,,,,I think he was normally around twenty five pounds ,,,,,so it was an awful lot of “ smash “ to carry around with ,,,,RIP you were definetly taken far too soon ,,,,,but your music lives on
I thought I'd listened to every version of this song out there, but then I discovered this one, and it might be the best yet! Thanks for uploading it, and rest in peace, Hamish.
Paul Byrne I think I'd have to agree with that, he must have been a man who truly loved these songs , the feeling comes through the music almost like you were there 101 years ago to see the real events that Easter time.
Never heard Hamish's version of this. Goosebumps. The Scottish Luke Kelly. Wrote some brilliant songs too

The Irish Song Sung by a Scottish great is beautiful
A young englishman student of Irish descent, Hamish Imlach was my introduction to Scottish folk music. Wonderful. Must find "The Men of Knoydart".
What a great performer!!!
Greetings from Hellas!

This is from an old vinyl. Hamish was in group called The EmmetTones so Id say this was on his playlist.
Nice version but Luke rules the waves 🌊
My favourite Scots folk singer great version of this song
Hamish has a way to put some extra emotion in tune that's unmatched
Love it, sleep well big man.
Thanks for listening,Hamish was a great character.
This is a gem. It is a beautiful rendition by a master.
One of the most powerful and wonderful version from this mighty song. I really love it!
Ronnie Muirehead, thanks for directing me to this version, it’s probably the best version of this I’ve heard. Perfect!
Fantastic ,RIP Hamish
Thank you for showing solidarity with the Irish. Great man.
Superb version great guitarist and singer you would expect nothing less from a motherwell man
Great version of this classic song of Freedom.
Wonderful blues folk guitar -terrific version by one of the best ....
The man had a beautiful voice
I so love Hamish
This mans voice is.. i can’t even describe it. Inspiring, amazing, angelic, I don’t know, but I love it.
His version of both this and Erin Go Bragh are by far the best versions of both songs
Paul Byrne I think I'd have to agree with that, he must have been a man who truly loved these songs , the feeling comes through the music almost like you were there 101 years ago to see the real events that Easter time.
I was brought up listening to Hamish on a reel-to-reel the sound was eerie
@@1Hannigan1 great version but Luke rules the waves 🌊🇮🇪💚🇮🇪
@@barrymcguire7124 I'm a huge fan of Luke K. but this version and Sinead's are certainly 'up there' with Luke's
Just love this version honestly he brings so much to this song.
Lovely version. Good man.
To cry for freedom from bondage

"you'll never beat Hamish"
