Five of the greatest Irish trad musicians sitting together on stage and Johnny Moynihan sings Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore unaccompanied. Love it!!

People are saying we're going back to the 70s, but at least the 70s had great music! Outstanding set, never seen these guys on screen before. Only a shame it's not longer.

1976....Forty four years ago. Still bright and timeless.

❤From Derry quay we sailed away on the twenty-third of May. We were taken on board by a pleasant crew, bound for Amerikay. Fresh water then we did take on, five thousand gallons or more, in case we'd run short going to New York far away from the shamrock shore. So fare thee well, sweet Liza dear and likewise to Derry town, and twice farewell to my comrades brave who dwell on that sainted ground. If fortune it ever should favour me, and I to have money in store I'll come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left on Paddy's green shamrock shore. We sailed three weeks, we were all seasick, not a man on board was free. We were all confined unto our bunks and no-one to pity poor me. No father kind nor mother dear to lift up my head, which was sore, which made me think more on the lassie I left on Paddy's green shamrock shore. We safely reached the other side in three and twenty days, We were taken as passengers by a man and led round in six different ways. Then each of us drank a parting glass, in case we'd never meet more And we drank a health to old Ireland and Paddy's green shamrock shore. So fare thee well, sweet Liza dear and likewise to Derry town, and twice farewell to my comrades brave who dwell on that sainted ground. If fortune it ever should favour me, and I to have money in store I'll come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left on Paddy's green shamrock shore.❤❤❤❤

I lie on my bed quite drunk, facing a week of uni and who to I turn to but De Danann and Planxty, long live irish folk music

Still coming back 7 years later, loven it m8. Up tha lads!!

Had the great pleasure of seeing their tour w/ Mary Black in 1989(?). Saw Johnny Moynihan with Last Night's Fun at a small venue, Laurel Theatre, in Knoxville, TN 1982. Rest of the band was the masterful Paddy Keenan, Tommy Peoples and Donal Lunny. I went to the after party which lasted until the sun rose. I asked Johnny to sing Dicey Reilly....but he would only do so if I found him a joint lol...I did and he obliged. In my 65 years it was a night I shall take fondly to the hereafter!

wow, wonderful music here great band De Danann

They were some of the best!!! My da was a massive fan.

gives the the shivers and warms my heart! X

I've been in pubs full of Irish immigrants of all ages with famous players like this where it was mostly commotion except for a few in-the-know studying and commenting quietly in the back. This is dance music, not originally meant to be watched. But in the trad revival period from the 60's if we include the Chieftains, this new performance presentation by many bands arose and so people responded differently. It thrills me as a player to see audiences in that time appreciating the detail.

Frankie,we loved seeing you live at the Alaska Folk Fesyival..You are an inspiration to us all..I hope to hear you again one day.God bless you and yours.

I saw De Dannan back in the early 80s at the Black Rose Pub in the Fanuel Hall district of Boston. They were awesome. This has always been my favorite traditional Irish band. I loved the old lineup. Ringo McDonagh was amazing then as he is now. A true master of Bodhran.

streetcleaner0 I remember them back in '82 in the Black Rose, the Purple Shamrock, they were touring with Mary Black - what a sound and what a great bunch of folk they were. Shared a flat with Mary Black and her we son, Connor. He'll be 30-odd now. How time flies. If you're ever around Boston, Look up my old mucker Frank Ryan - plays with Celtic Clan and he's a great singer, musician and all round eedjit!!

Then it changed hands ,got gutted and rearranged to make it what it is now by cpmparison- a big beer hall.

Jig that starts at 14:20 is sometimes called "The Boys of Tandragee" as it's the tune of a song with the same name (or sometimes "The Rollicking Boys From Tandragee"). I think there are other names also, but given this one you can look them up.
