  • The Chieftains and Sinéad O’Connor perform ‘The Foggy Dew’ at the IRMA Awards.
    The 10th Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) Awards take place in the Burlington Hotel, Dublin. The hosts for the event are broadcaster Ray D’Arcy and musician Eleanor McEvoy. During the ceremony, film director Neil Jordan presents Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains with the Special Industry Award in recognition of the group’s contribution to Irish traditional music since the 1960s.
    The Chieftains then perform a version of ‘The Foggy Dew’ with singer Sinéád O’Connor. The band members are Derek Bell (harp), Matt Molloy (flute), Paddy Moloney (tin whistle and uilleann pipes), Seán Keane (fiddle) and Martin Fay (fiddle) and Kevin Conneff (bodhrán).
    ‘The Foggy Dew’ is included on The Chieftains 1995 album ‘The Long Black Veil’. As well as featuring Sinéad O’Connor, it also includes guest appearances from musicians such as The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Marianne Faithfull and Tom Jones.
    The lyrics to ‘The Foggy Dew’ were written by a Belfast curate Father Charles O’Neill. The ballad praises the Irishmen who fought for Irish independence in the Easter Rising of 1916, rather than fighting for the British Empire in World War 1.
    Highlights from the IRMA Awards were broadcast on Network 2 and 2FM on 1 April 1995.

      Her son's death (last year) was obviously too much for her to cope with . I've suffered two Familly bereavements in the past 21 months , and it is difficult . I think time eases such pain , though , and its important to remember that . R.I.P to an Irish favourite from a time when we could produce musicians who had soul, talent and character.

All her life, she had sad memories and she was very very sad for long time. No more Civil War against siblings, we must remember them always. In loving Memory of my g.grandmother Rosemary Vivien Mc Carthy 1900-1979, daughter of Sean Mc Carthy. Rest in Peace Sinéad!!! 😪🙏☘🍀

      n fact, one of Ireland's most enduring anthems was written by Fr Charles O'Neill and the blind musician Carl Gilbert Hardebeck. Born on 20 September 1887 in Portglenone, Co. Antrim, Charles O'Neill attended his local primary school before furthering his education at St Malachy's College, Belfast. (Google) But she sang it beautifully - a magnificent poem, the words to which match the depth of her talent and soul.

    As down the glen one Easter morn
    To a city fair rode I
    There armed lines of marching men
    In squadrons passed me by
    No pipe did hum
    No battle drum did sound its loud tattoo
    But the Angelus Bells o'er the Liffey swells
    Rang out in the foggy dew
    Right proudly high in Dublin town
    Hung they out a flag of war
    'Twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky
    Than at Sulva or Sud-El-Bar
    And from the plains of Royal Meath
    Strong men came hurrying through
    While Brittania's Huns with their long range guns
    Sailed in through the foggy dew
    Their bravest fell and the requiem bell
    Rang mournfully and clear
    For those who died that Eastertide in the
    Springing of the year
    While the world did gaze with deep amaze
    At those fearless men but few
    Who bore the fight that freedom's light
    Might shine through the foggy dew
    And back through the glen, I rode again
    And my heart with grief was sore
    For I parted then with valiant men
    Whom I never shall see n'more
    But to and fro in my dreams I go
    And I kneel and pray for you
    For slavery fled, O glorious dead
    When you fell in the foggy dew

But most of them died because of foggy dew, well, storm but you know :) and some were sunked by brits. So they sent smaller contingent later. Napoleon on his deadbad said that he would be better if he invaded Ireland with full force and not Egypt. And that is how Sinn Fein came to be.

    A beautifull song tied to Ireland's long history.
    I could hear every word and Sinead's singing tied to traditional music was superb.
