It was an absolute privilege to be there to sing and be a part of that send off for Shane.

Weren't they amazing at the funeral? I saw it on the live stream and TV.

​@@maidhci As you probably know, he adored the work of Seán O'Riada, Ceoltóirí Chualann and Cór Chúil Aodha. I knew Shane quite well from the mid 1990s. I was a fan long before that. I remember when the film "Mise Éire" was released on DVD about 20 years ago. I bumped into Shane in Dublin. He had a bag with recently purchased CDs and DVDs. He was excited at the prospect of going home and watching his new "Mise Éire" DVD.

@@HerFatherDidntLikeMe thank you for sharing that story. He will be sorely missed by many.

@@maidhci You're welcome. By sharing stories, we keep those we cherished alive.

Well said ..!!!

EXCELLENT

The original and the best!

Well said. Same here, I just love this song and how it is sung by so many great voices.

Mine too! I want this played at my funeral. If my friends and family think I've earned it.

I love the version done by choral scholars of dublin

They're always perfect. They do the Parting Glass and I weep everytime. What I like about this is the earthiness.@@ATLmodK

Martin-valerie Grosso do you understand Gaelic ?

Beautiful rendition isn't it? These are the original lyrics. Just gorgeous. I want this played at my funeral. And I'm going under the knife 🗡 tomorrow. So that's a big IF I shouldn't survive. Hopefully my family and friends will think I've earned it.

Hi Esmeralda, thank you for the beautiful comments, the Cór (Choir) sings every Sunday morning at mass in the Church in Cúil Aodha, Co. Cork. It was a true privilege to sing at Shane MacGowan's funeral.

Thinking of you and that you make a full recovery.

O Riada Retrospective.

Thank you very much.

An ode to Bonnie Prince Charlie basically who we (Catholic Irish) supported.

@@madden150-Prince Charles Edward Stuart sailed from France in 1745, where he was in exile with his father after parliament installed the German King George I(who spoke no English and was Protestant), planted his banner at Glenfinnan, Scotland, raised a small army of loyal Catholic Highland clans( the last medieval army in Europe) in the name of the House of Stuart and marched south toward London to reclaim the British throne. The “Young Chevalier,” at age 23, cut a dashing figure. 6:34 With some Irish volunteers, they won the battle of Falkirk and Prestonpans, and the German king’s family were packing to leave. They lost the final battle at Culloden and the young Charles fled Scotland back to Europe where he passed away. This song was a lament by the “goddess” of Ireland for the prince. 6:34

Hi Louise, not a bad summary here on Wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_Ghile_Mear

@@maidhci thanks.

Iu

It's Irish not Scots Gaelic

​@@marcphelan9883 Gaelic is a perfectly acceptable term for Irish, just because you and I don't use it, doesn't mean others don't.

No an Irjsh lament for an a Scottish prince whom died in battle, as far as I know an Irish arm were trying to save him. As far as I know.

​@@RacingwoIfthe Irish fought for Bonnie Prince Charlie because he was a Stuart and a Catholic. That's one reason why they fought for him. We Irish Catholic folk were treated like absolute garbage by the Brits, who were Anglican (aka Church of England). Henry the 8th just straight up declared his own religion and forced conversion on his subjects. It was illegal to practice Catholicism for a long while. We had to keep it on the way down low, underground. Held mass late at at night, legit marriages performed in secret. We even made single decade rosaries that could be hidden very readily.
