Cheryl, I'll be going to their live show at the Lounge in LA on Aug 28,2015 and I wanted to ask you, did you have to get permission to video the guys ?

John Duffy

This is taken from Gordon Lightfoots  "The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald" The hungerstriker Bobby Sands wrote the lyrics while in the H Blocks and they were in turn put to the melody by one of his friends. Christy Moore made it popular and his is the best rendition.

Klára Koptyšová

Aced it. Instant love after first play.

Barbara Foster

Your videos are excellent, Cheryl !!

Helen Dreyer

Wow, Cheryl!  What great quality you got!  am enjoying each of the lads as much in these small, intimate settings as I do in the big productions.  What a treat - thank you!

Sarah Edwards

One of the best renditions I've heard! And yes, the melody is Gordon Lightfoot's "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." I was at Lightfoot's concert at Hamilton Place the other night and he talked about how way back in 1976 when he and his band were recording the song in Toronto, and "Stompin" Tom Connors poked his head in the door and said "Hey boys, that sounds like a hit!"

Sherrel Higbie

Sounds pretty close to "The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald" melodically.

Barbara Foster

Sorry for monopolizing the comments. But I just had to say, Neil did some more fancy pickin' on this one !!

Barbara Foster

All of the videos you have posted are excellent. and for once the audience is being very respectful !

AJ Krivenko

Love this song.  Ryan has such a beautiful voice, and Neil with his awesome guitar playing.

Barbara Foster

When I heard them do this song on their new CD Acoustically Irish, I finally figured out the words. It is so sad and I guess it is close to what went on back then. I don't know for sure.

Barbara Foster

Excellent video, Cheryl. Keep posting ! Thanks
