When the bodhran comes in (1:37) is magic.I love the build-up of a steady marching beat in Andy's singing, with the introduction of syncopation by the other musicians.Lovely drones on Liam O Flynn pipes - sets the blood flowing!

J'ai connu Planxty en 1975; depuis, je suis une inconditionnelle de ce groupe, qui , hélas, s'est séparé. Je cherche des CD de Planxty, les anciens: The well below the valley; As I roved out, After the breack, bref, toute la discographie de c groupe. Pouvez-vous m'aider, please? Merci. Thank you very much. Amitiés au peuple Irlandais.

I grew up listening to Planxty, yet I still haven't gone to Ireland. Hopefully someday :)

Good version of this Jacobite song -- it doesn't matter if the band performing it is Irish or Scots! Slainté!

Planxty, one of the best irish bands ever playing and singing Jonny Cope. Nice.

Unusual version of this old Jacobite song. Refers to Battle of Prestonpans, where Prince Charlie's Highlanders put English General Cope;s troops to flight. Scottish now play it their reveille once per week, usually starting outside the junior officers; billets. It sure is a rude awakening when played by Scottish piepes and drums outside your window!

4:00 sounds like O'Donnell's Return, a favorite of mine. Planxty is great.

Got my first ever tattoos to this. Came out of the studio feeling like my arm was on fire and my testicles had somehow grown three sizes.

I love this ancient version of Johnny Cope. Legend has it that this version was sung by the Gordon Highlanders together at dinner the night before they want out with the Union Brigade to fight with Napoleon at Waterloo. The next morning all their pipers under the command of Pipe Major Cameron played this version while they fought and devastated the French lines. I love playing this on the pipes as it is a hornpipe song played very fast. It stirs the blood! BYDAND Forever!
