So the lyric "The good old ship is leaving cove And I am leaving too" is "cove" meant to be "Cobh"?

I was in Cobh around '96 I think - they had a music festival - they called it a "wake" - a session going on in every pub (like 19 of them) - fantastic craic.

@@muzwell Cobh was always cobh long before british rule and always will be.. it was named from the gaelic language and is the entrance to CORK CITY, THE WONDERFUL ISLAND WHICH IS COBH IS PRONOUNCED COVE IN ENGLISH ,NOT COB H

What a beautiful comment

Thank you for your comment, and i truly meant every word, such great people and a wonderful town God Bless us all

Ken Mooney, he's been in many great Irish bands over the years

awesome, thanks for reply man! @@OisinMcCole

Saw them in Aberdeen Xmas show drummer is awesome

Yes and what about the Bass player, she is tops

100% brother! @@jamesbradshaw3389

It was great to see spider playing with them

Check out their Covid sessions, great craic

I refuse to disagree with you, by the way I am 1st cousin to Mary Walloper

@@Pablosammy1 yes, yes great fun

The bright a great brightness and truck life and the best of fun to the show

Awful

@@marymoloney5784 did they wallop you mary?

@@SnakeFist150 not yet. Not a good idea to wallop Mary . Her Son doesn't like it. Google Częstochowa and see what happened to the man who attacked a picture of Mary (he dropped dead on the spot).

@@marymoloney5784 you sound well in the head

@@SnakeFist150 sticks and stones. Google it and see for yourself

That's a drumkit, ya wally

u must be part of their comedy show then. 😂😂😂

The pogues were awful

@@marymoloney5784you’ve not got a clue

@@shanemacgowan1957 wanna bet . Thought you were dead by the way.

Yes you are biased

What's your gripe love ?

@@LouLou-tl1gv talking down again.

@@rockstoneballs when all else fails get abusive. You are a real saddo

Joss Stone was the highlight no contest. That's talent.

@@marymoloney5784 each to their own but i would take a high energy band playing music that makes you want to jump around having fun over some girl singing a slow boring ballad about a lost love any day of the week

@@JustSean413 they are talented that's what's so sad. They are playing to the paymasters on the BBC. . ...playing the tunes too fast isn't high energy it's just playing the tunes too fast. Jumping around isn't dancing . That's just trashing tradition for a BBC slot. They could be so much better . Look at the way the guy sings just snarling it out in a thuggish way. Very sad to see.

@MrSeanmac35 I'm old enough to remember this being said about The Pogues

@@marymoloney5784 you’re like one of the early members of the bad that didn’t make it and now you’re just a bitter person. Laces out

It's a no from me

You must have been the Mary that got walloped

@@sitdowntwice nope. No-one would live if they tried that

I can wait....forever

​@@marymoloney5784yer commenting all over the shop, stop making an eejit of yourself 😂

@@mikmc don't talk down and don't tell me what to do. It's the band making what you call "ejits" of themselves frankly. Wake up guys this take on trad music is out of tune and has had its day

@@marymoloney5784I’m embarrassed for you stalker

@@enoughalready8088 weird

To heck with the PURISTS they are always causing trouble, this is really great music, they continue to keep those forgetter songs to live on forevermore

Never mind young audience - saw them in Bristol on 17th March & this is a band for all ages. Mind you my feet were killing me tge next day!😂 Top class musicians & their musical talent not to be underestimated in this line up.

They are fabulous live I’ve seen them 4 times now highly recommend it! It is a great show

@@Snufkinjones Brilliant!

Amazing live. We saw them recently in the Barras​@@Snufkinjones

I'm seeing these on Saturday. Can't wait

Awful

Nope

you mustn’t get out much.

Dreadful

@@marymoloney5784Mary I’m calling the guards

@@enoughalready8088 good idea

@@mariecullen4120 making personal remarks is no substitute for intelligent conversation . I didn't like the band that's all.

I'm dead inside but I can still dance, bollocks.

Remind to stay away from Dundalk then. I hated it.

No one asked ya, Mary

@@sitdowntwice that’s the thing… and Mary’s all over this comments’ section like a Feckin’ rash!

@@sitdowntwice you don't put a film with a comments section on KZfaq and not expect comments. If you have a comments section you are asking for comments . Get your brain out of the dustbin and use it

@@paddyeejit1954 you are well named Mr eejit. Glad you took the time to track my comments . I can count you as a member of my fan club.

Do you mean the woman, not man as you assumed, playing the white Fender Jazz bass who is visible throughout the video? Big shout out to the invisible women bass players

A wallop means a slap in Ireland

Well I'm Irish born and bred and I've received plenty of wallops for being bould😂😂

To be fair now, the songs are to be sung however whoever is singing them wants to sing them. The tradition thrives and survives on the old tunes finding new voices and new ears to keep them alive. A generation might not ever find the Clancy Brothers version, except through hearing the Wallopers first. Even if it's not for you, it's good for the lineage and legacy of these songs and the artists who've performed them, not to mention the Wallopers also cherry picking songs like Wexford by the Pecker Dunne purely because of a love of his work and a desire to shine more light on his name and his art. That's not to be sniffed at just because a song doesn't sound like it used to. Go to a live show, see how the lads and Róisín have brought these tunes to a wide, diverse audience who are so passionate about seeing this music coming back to the fore. John Francis Flynn, Lankum, Øxn and more, all these artists are taking tunes from the tradition and morphing them into something beautiful, fresh and new. There's nought worse than being boring, and stuff staying the same across decades and generations and never adapting with people and time would be awful boring.
