Colin O'Roarty sings Danny boy.

In Loving memory of my Father Colin O'Roarty known in the WMC's as Colin Dale and to his family as Connie who sadly passed away in November 2007. He sings this from his heart and it brings tears to our eyes everytime we listen to it. Please leave your comments, Rate the video and would be interested in comments if you met him. He never really knew how good he was. But he was a true irishman with a heart of gold. He is greatly missed by us all.

This voice moves my soul more than anything I have ever heard. What a voice, what a talent and what a loss to the world. I wish there were more songs to hear, but, if there could only be one...I am happy it is this one.

Tá brón orm as caillteanas do Athair, a rá Ba mhaith liom a bhfuil sé guth iontach! Tugann an amhrán ar ais cuimhní cinn sa tír d'aois. D'fhág sé deora i mo shúile. Bealtaine tsíocháin a bheith in éineacht leat agus go léir ár sinsear na hÉireann. Éire Deo

Awesome rendition. I love his gutsy soulful voice punctuated with the moments of hauntingly beautiful falsetto . I've been listening to Danny Boy a lot lately. I wish I had found Colin's recording in the beginning. Now I have to reset my standards. He must have been well loved in life and missed in death. It's great to have this legacy. Wonderful as in Wonder Full....Is there a Gaelic word for Bravo?

I love this song, but your father's version of it is exceptionally lovely. He sings it just as it should be sung and it fills me with tears to hear him. If he's anything like my mother, he is close when you are listening to him sing. Thank you for sharing this.

@850ovlov The tune wasn't actually called the Londonderry Air until nearer the end of the 19thC quite a while after it was first published and presumably if it was traditional a long time after it was written.

completely collected by her; or whether she changed it. Some have claimed it is at least partly based on a tune collected from an Irish fiddler called Denis O' Hampsey in the 18thC. So that is the generally excepted brief history of the tune. If you are claiming it as Scottish then when was it first published in Scotland and by whom - or who of note has claimed it as Scottish and on what basis?

@850ovlov But to claim it as Scottish there must be at least something to go on? Something to suggest it is Scottish? The history of the tune is easily enough found on the web. It was one of the tunes supposedly collected by Jane Ross of Limavady to George Petrie of "The Society for the Preservation and Publication of the Melodies of Ireland" and first printed in the "The Ancient Music of Ireland" in 1855 under the title "anonymous air". There seems to be some debate as to whether it is a tune
