Stunning in it's simplicity, possibly a definitive performance of this favourite song.

Maura o'connall's version on transatlantic sessions takes some beating but this is up there but the sound quality on the actual concert vid at folkeast is much better 😊

Down by the Salley Gardens is a well-known Irish folk song - just one of the collection arranged by Benjamin Britten, and published in 1943. Words by William Butler Yeats telling of leaves, grass, natural imagery, and a tragic story of young love bring this music to life

Awesome, touches my heart!

One of the loveliest versions of this song I have ever heard; reminds me of when my own dear mother would sing it for me when I was a boy.

Memories of my old dad's party piece at New Year, miss him..

I’ve heard a hundred versions of this poem-song…first time filled with tears.

Such a wonderful song.

Lovely work!!

Beautifully and simply played and sung, well done 👏👏👏👏

I don't believe in Angels , but if I did, they would all sound like Miss Priddy .

Very nice rendition, one of the best I have heard

What Is It the istrument that the man play?

Down by the salley gardens My love and I did meet She crossed the salley gardens With little snow-white feet She bid me to take life easy As the leaves grow on the tree But I was young and foolish And with her I did not agree In a field down by the river My love and I did stand And upon my leaning shoulder She laid her snow-white hand She bid me take life easy As the grass grows on the weirs But I was young and foolish And now I am full of tears It was down by the salley gardens My love and I did meet She crossed the salley gardens With little snow-white feet She bid me to take life easy As the leaves grow on the tree But I was young and foolish And with her I did not agree

this is not traditional song, this is WB Yeats poem

Tradition is ongoing and participatory, otherwise it would cease to a be tradition.
