What a pure rendition... technically perfect: not a single fret buzz, not one arpeggio missed, perfect vocal pitch and words... and artistically: I'm just incredibly moved by this performance. Only one guy and his bouzouki but the whole Ireland is in there...

As a hunter myself I found myself rooting for the white hare throughout the song. Tremendous job on this one it's a shame only 4.4 million people experienced excellence

Listened to this obsessively prior to my initial voyage to Ireland from Missouri, USA. Upon landing I spotted a hare and assumed it good luck. What a lucky token it was. The pints were sweet, the whiskey smooth and the company full of craic.

I’ve listened to this 1000+ times and it gets better every time. KZfaq needs to develop a way for us to praise Daiori some more. Brilliant brilliant brilliant mate

Very few musicians can actually bring tears to my eyes, being a musician myself I havent heard such a beautiful sound in a long time. Glad I found this artist.

The way he sings ‘Pedigree Greyhounds,’ superb.

There are few folk who wander this rock who can make their talents and trades look effortless. This young man is one of those. I just played this for my old boy and he was just in awe hes been singing folk for decades no professional more so just down the local to bring about a good atmosphere through some storytelling songs such as this one.

One of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard. I can’t stop listening to it. This is a world heritage tune. Should be saved for all future generations

Timeless

That's the best voice I've heard so far in folk music. Thank God for youtube without which I'd never come across this great singer.

wunderschöne und großartige, du bist Musik!!!!!!!

If I had a radio station, this would be the very first song I'd play.

I listened to this song literally 30 times tonight

I’ve always been into American folk, John Denver, cat stevens, etc but there is something incredibly beautiful about Irish folk

The KZfaq algorithm never ceases to amaze me. It feeds me the airport delayed flight vid, and then this. Over 3 million views on a channel that has 5k subscribers and hasn't released a video in 8 years. This has to be the best recording of a folk song I have ever heard, not to mention the best version of this song. Even Farrell's other recordings of the same song don't hold a candle to this one. Something so genuine about it.

man this guy should be way more famous

Born in the mountains of North Carolina (USA) our family would rabbit hunt in the winter. There was no greater pleasure than to see our lone Beagle give chase to the rabbit. When I hear "Creggan White Hare" at age 70 it reminds me of my childhood years and the great times of my childhood years. What a beautiful piece of folk music. I never get enough of listening to the "Creggan White Hare". Thank you Daoiri Farrell.

Go the hare! I know a man's gotta eat, but I'm siding with the hare! Go Girl!

I just cry out of awe, fear, wonder and joy every time I listen to this!

The best hunting song.

I 'm so glad he gave up being an electrician to be what he is today. A fine musician of the Irish tradition

“She jumped over the greyhounds” makes me shake and cry with emotion!!! This is real music!!! So bhlasta!!!!

April 2024 and still listening 😁. Amazing song

One of the best Irish songs I've ever heard

Nothing takes you down into the lowland underbrush more than this song. I can see the fine motorcar and the long boots and wool jackets of the finely dressed men. Best of luck to the fine white hare.

Bruh i almost cry to this song about a rabbit every night fr fr no cap

I listen over and over. So wonderful. Need to see this man live. Come to nova Scotia!!!

As a Celtic musician of 30 years, this is my first time hearing this tune! Wonderful!! ❤😊

idk what it is with Irish music, in particular this song... it gives so many emotions, like on one hand it makes me sad and homesick even though I'm not Irish myself, and on the other hand it gives hope, warmth and a feeling of being grateful for what I have

I am so proud to be Irish. When I hear amazing music like this, I wish everyone else could be part of the club.

Tears of joy, mate.

FANTASTIC

How on earth does this have negative ratings? Absolutely outrageous. He is one of the most talented Irish musicians I have ever heard and I have messaged him before and he is an absolute gentleman. Absolutely love it man.

nearly a decade later and still a legend, that's how you know he's one of the best...

I could listen all my Live

MASTERPEICE...blew my irish mind. take a bow pal.

It gets right to the soul. Thank you, I love Irish music, it's very melodic and thought-provoking. Regards from Russia.

It's St Patricks day. The pubs are closed. I can't go to Cheltenham cause we're still locked down. My guitar is lying idle and there's no-one to listen anyway. I'm happy 'cause I've just remembered that bottle of Jamesons in the cupboard. Sláinte Daoiri !

My go to video when I’m feeling down!!! Save the Sperrins!!

You're making me cry in a good way.

My father is from Creggan and he was a musician. It would have been his 60th birthday last weekend and I'd never heard this version until then... haven't stopped playing it since ❤️👌

I've listened to this song a thousand times and I'll listen to it thousands of times more.

I visit this every so often, pace, timing, tone and vocals are always amazing!

Playing this on repeat for weeks & still not sick of it....Eire Abu

probably the best perfomance i ve ever seen

Ffs whoever pressed the unlike button to this great singer and song haven't a clue about Traditional music. Daoiri......you're just deadly!

Great this is my favorite by Deoiri

I love Irish folk music. It reminds me of our sweet Appalachian folk we have in the States. Same sound, same rhythm, and same topics of life being sung. It’s beautiful stuff

This is incredible. A superb performance right up their with Paul Brady's version of Arthur McBride.

Reminiscent of the amazing songs we were privileged to hear during the great Gaelic folk revival of the 1970's. We'll never see the likes again.

this needs to be enjoyed with a pint. cheers. :)

Masterclass in every aspect. Thank God for Irish music and this talented and musically educated man. - From a German

Possibly the best version I’ve heard.

One of the best songs ever written

PURE FECKIN' MAGIC

I’m pretty sure this song is slowly treating my depression. It’s just so soothing to listen to

Brilliant!

He sing this song better than anyone else what amazing voice

An absolute genius

what sort of joyless SOB would give this a thumbs down?! so beautiful.

Doesn't matter how many times I listen to this my heart races. Fills me with hope. I might just listen to it one more time 🍻

What a voice. Steps easily into the shoes of the many great folk singers that have preceded him. Ireland's new star.

What a seriously great singer !!

Anyone who plays knows how hard it is to sing and play and omfg this man doesn't miss step..no fret buzz no arpeggio missed and every single sylible is hit... hats off to you...

Hats off and pint mugs raised to the Greeks for their wonderful contribution to Irish trad....the humble and resonant bouzouki!!

I've being listening to this for years now. Never get bored. If they play a song at my funeral, this is what I would want.

Heard this randomly on Radio 4. This guy craps on what passes for music these days. The real deal. Loved it.

This man has a golden voice

God I love Daoiri''s rendition, he's a national treasure for Ireland!

This guy is a genius....beautiful talent....beautiful talent.- - I'd pay to see this guy play.

@DaoiriFarell you made my night,thanks.

I grew up rabbit hunting in Pennsylvania. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of one Thanksgiving morning my brother and I went hunting with our beagle. I flushed a rabbit and smacked my gun into a tree trying to get a shot off. The dog immediately picked up the trail and the chase was on. The rabbit and the dog were at it for two and a half hours. We never even came close to getting another shot. Finally we had to pull the dog off (because she was never going to quit) and go home for Thanksgiving dinner.

Unbelievable version of a brilliant, under-rated Irish song. Tip off the hat, Daoiri.

cant stop listening this song what a work of art

Up Carrickmore!!

Verse 1] In the lowlands of Creggan there lives a white hare As swift as the swallow that flies through the air You may tramp the world over but none to compare To the pride of old Creggan, that bonnie white hare [Verse 2] One clear autumn morning, as you will suppose Oh, the red golden sun o’er the green mountain rose Barney Conway came down and he did declare "This day I’ll put an end to the bonnie white hare!" [Verse 3] So he searched through the lowlands and down through the glens All among the wild ditches where the white hare had ends Till at last coming down o’er the heather so fair From behind the wild thistle out jumps the white hare [Verse 4] “Bang! Bang!” went his guns and his dogs he slipped too As swift as the wind o'er the green mountain flew But his dogs soon came back and it made Barney sigh For he knew that the white hare had bid him goodbye [Verse 5] And we’re some jolly sportsmen down here from Pomeroy From Cookstown, Dungannon, and likewise the Moy "With our pedigree greyhounds we’ve travelled from far And we’ve come down to Creggan in our fine motor car." Verse 6] Well into the lowlands these huntsmen did go In search of the white hare they'd look high and low Till at last Barney Conway from a bog bank so rare Shouted out to the huntsmen: “There lies the white hare!” [Verse 7] So they called up their greyhounds from off the green lea And Barney and the huntsmen all jumped high with glee It was there on the bog bank all gathered around Seven dogs and nine men did that poor hare surround [Verse 8] Oh no wonder the white hare did tremble with fear As she stood on her hind legs she would raise her big ears As she stood on her hind legs with one gallant spring She jumped over the greyhounds and broke through the ring [Verse 9] Well that chase it went on, it was a beautiful view As swift as the wind o’er the green mountain flew But those pedigree greyhounds they didn’t run far They came back and went home in their fine motor car [Verse 10] Then there came another man and you all know him well His name was Mick Kelly with the Bonnie Black Bell "Oh in search of the white hare today I’ll have fun I'll bet fifty to one my Black Bell of her turn." Verse 11] Five turns the hare got then from Bonnie Black Bell And the sixth one was given around John Haughey’s well It was there we lost sight of the hare and the dog And then ten minutes later came o’er the black bog [Verse 12] Well that chase it went on it was great for to see The white hare and the black dog both roamed light and free Till she travelled to Esker where she knew the lands well And to Bonnie Black Nella there soon bid farewell [Verse 13] Oh and now to conclude and to finish this rhyme I hope you’ll forgive me for singing all this while If there’s any amongst you in Carrick more fair Please drink up a health to that bonnie white hare

You know, as a fellow traveling musician, I would like to say this man is officially killing it at the height of our craft. This is high art.

Always find these songs too late. At least I finally found this one. Unbelievable vocals.🇦🇺♥️🇮🇪

The best tun ever it was play at my uncle funeral love it❤

Listened to this countless times...how good is this .
