Beautiful. Totally beautiful.
Ireland has not got a large army or weapons of mass destruction, Ireland and its people have never invaded any other country and declared war on its people and has never steel and plundered from others, but Ireland is sinking with that vast number of most brilliant musicians, singers, singers' writers players poets' storytellers.
Beautiful composition, played by top class musicians 👏👏👏🎶
What heavenly beauty in the singing and playing of this song.
Brings tears
It would have been wonderful to have been in Dougie's house that day.
Every time I hear this, I think of the currachs racing over the tide, the oars moving in time with the tune. So evocative.
Na h-Eireannaich agus na h-Albannaich air an t-aon ràmh! Fìor mhath !

I'm mostly Irish by descent so it's almost instinctual to listen to music like this and create vivid imagery of being in a small town where you walk to the pub nightly just to hear what they're playing.
Mmmmm! Delicious! Such a lovely musical moment by an amazing bunch of great musicians. Love it.
Great to hear it sung in Scots gaelic and Irish

Surely one of the finest love songs ever. Sung in a marvellous setting by such talented singers and musicians
Fíor álainn ar fad. Níl a shárú le fáil.
I know this as a pipe tune, "The Mingulay Boat Song" - great 9/8 ! I recognise Dougie MacLean there, on guitar.
I met Tomás on a visit to Carraroe many years ago, we got talking and he sang this for me, I recognised the air of The Mingulay Boat Song and he told me the story of the beautiful girl he'd loved from afar, the poem he'd written and the beautiful Scottish air he had put it to. A lovely man with a generous spirit.

Fantastic
Thar barr amach 's amach. Bhí mé ag eiseacht leis le mo dhá chalín óga agus bhí dar tógtha leis fresin.
Wow!
Wonderful!
I so like this. Upstairs in my loft there is an old VCR recorder and big storage boxes of video cassettes and audio cassettes . Amongst them is this gem. Before the days when I could watch them in England, my sister Cathie recorded them for me in Scotland from the BBC, STV or Tara and sent them down. When visiting Scotland and in particular, Aros in Skye. I used to stock up too..... and yes I have many of the recordings from the early seventies onwards. Include Runrig and Mac- Talla :-)
