I am a Scot ,but what an ignorant statement , and a smear on all of Ireland, for shame ,not for honour, Liam was a bilingual towering giant of an Irish performer, her greatest balladeeer by a country mile, and my favorite performer singer balladeer of all time. He gave us in both English and Gaelic a lifetime of memories and thrills just from listening to his melodious voice. Up Liam,either English or Irish !! Up Ireland !!! Down the bigots and know nothings of the world !!! Albainn Gu Brath

One of Ireland's great songs in Irish sung by one of our greatest singers. This is a classic video, a masterclass on how to do it. For me this is the equal of Mozart or Verdi at their best. It eats my heart out in the same gut churning way. 'Tis true, 'tis true...

I know where you're coming from. But I have to disagree on one point ... Mozart was no Liam Clancy. Mozart spent most of his artistic life pumping out nothing more than cotton candy for the rich.

This is such a beautiful piece. Such a shame Liam is no longer with us. Thankfully, Liam's nephew, Finbarr, has continued breathing life into the same songs as his uncle, in The High Kings. Bless them, and everyone else who has ever poured so much heart and soul into such beautiful music.

OMG that was one of the finest performances I've ever seen, or listened to, of any musical genre. Cannot speak highly enough of how he puts his heart into every note, yet never getting out of control. And don't get me started on his instrument - WOW! Listen to his solo on it! Watch what he does with almost nothing left to squeeze, yet he's able to coax one last heart-breaking sigh out of that beloved thing.

I saw Liam once at a Phil Coulter concert at Symphony Hall in Boston. There were about 3000 in attendance and he was the "mystery" guest. He played his small accordion and did a great rendition of The Dutchman. You could have heard a pin drop as he was superb. It was just Liam and the small squeeze box in magnificent Symphony Hall home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops. He was magnificent.

Music & musicians are odd creatures. There is a level of dedication, passion, & obsession that goes into each time you are in front of people and play YOUR music for them to hear. It is not an easy thing to put yourself out there for someone and then hear them critique your sound. You have to put everything that you have into it or it will not work. Clancy clearly does that here and so many more songs that he sings. It is simply beautiful from beginning of the story to the last note. Amazing.

Is this extraordinary ballad the greatest love song from Ireland ever? Who can say? I am fortunate, however, that the official policy of 'shoving Irish down my throat' by making Irish Gaelic compulsory in both primary and secondary schools when I was young (I was born in 1938) means that I can understand almost every word of this majestic performance by the late and great Liam Clancy.

Words by Joe O'Connor about the poem: The Planter’s Daughter Austin Clarke This poem, on the surface, is concerned with the relationships between the native tenantry and the English and Scottish planters who arrived in Ireland during the 16th and 17th Centuries. The central feature of the poem is the poet's obvious admiration for the planter's daughter. She represents a traditional Celtic ideal of female beauty, she is the spéirbhean, the banshee, the aisling and other heroines of Celtic literature. Like all of these, there is an air of unreality about the planter's daughter, there is an element of the supra-natural in the poets description of her. Clarke uses suggestion rather than obvious or exact description to present the beauty of the planter's daughter. The richly suggestive imagery conveys to the reader an individual image of the planter's daughter, in this poem she represents an ideal Ireland, where both native and planter cultures are fused to create a greater one. The poem has contemporary overtones, as Clarke is concerned with the national-unionist divide in Ireland at the time and his portrait of the planter's daughter is designed to produce an image of a unified country. The setting for the poem is typical of the Irish countryside in a period prior to electrification. A local fishing community is gathered at night and the main topic of discussion was the beauty of the planter's daughter.

The Planter's Daughter is a poem by Clarke, but... its about something else, NOT this song. It's an entirely different poem! This song tells a story from Kerry, about a different matter as the words in Irish clearly explain. Not a Planter in sight, nor is it a full Aisling. Not every spéirbhean is the same. I can scarcely believe the utterly misleading connection you made to a different poem - an bhfuil focal Gaeilge ar bith agat a chara?

Many thanks, machree01. I heard it first in '77 live by Boys of the Loch without words. It immediately became my most favorite melody, and I have been playing it on every instrument I can. "(I shall not) "Sell not virtue for money, nor Liberty for power" is the anthem of the story I have heard describing the meaning of an old, old tale: and one which says our first allegience is to the unseen.

'....Is Ar Éirinn Ní Neosfainn Cé Hí translates as ‘For Ireland I’d Not Tell Her Name’. A traditional song, believed to have been written in 1810 by a native of Kerry, it was first published by E. Walsh in 1847. Tradition attributes it to a young man’s secret love for his brother's bride: Too poor to support her and too shy to propose, he had gone abroad to seek his fortune. But when he returned to claim his beloved, he found her married to his brother. He wrote this song for her but, for obvious reasons, refused to reveal her name....'.
