I always come back to Planxty. If you don’t have an ear for this your heart doesn’t beat. Heavenly.

Of all the fantastic Irish musicians of the 70’s, Planxty was what I most remember. The Chieftains were gods. I mourn the deaths of Paddy, Dereck and , especially, Sean Keane, but Planxty was magical. Rest in peace Liam og O Flynn.

The pure sweet clarity of Liams whistling is like a blackbird on an early spring morning ,other wordly.....

As a lifelong Flogging Molly fan, as I get older, I'm really getting into more traditional acoustic tunes. Until this video, I'd never even heard of Planxty. This is absolutely amazing. Hauntingly beautiful. Incredible tin whistle, and as a singer, I wish I had one-tenth that voice. With ancestors from Limerick and Cork, I feel this music in my veins.

“I hope to God you’re able” - love this line

I whistle along with Liam as I go about my daily chores. He's still here. RIP.

Everytime I hear the beginning of this song and Liam's pure fantastic whistle, I almost cry. Both of joy and sadness. Words are not enough to express how beautiful this song is.

I remember repeatedly listening to a planxty album as a very small boy, im thinking mud 70's and being taken away in the songs, sweet Thames flow softly raggle taggle gypsy, memorising the words, playing a little theatre in my head, funny, i can't remember what I did 2 days ago but I remember the words of those songs, ❤️❤️

énorme , ça me rappelle ma jeunesse , mes amis irlandais m'ont fait découvrir l'album que j'ecoute fidelement depuis plus de 40 ans , la campagne verte et fraiche , l'air marin La flute plane et vole comme un oiseau au printemps ! On se mariera quand on fera des cloches avec des coquillages ! Un grand merci de France

Pure magic from Planxty

Pure bliss, everything missing in the pap that passes for music today.

Meraviglia!

La mejor banda irlandesa que ha existido sin duda. Me pone la carne de gallina cada vez que la escucho

Absolute gods at work genius

I only knew Christys name until today. Great to learn more and more about the irish folk scene again.

Great song in every way - been listening to it and Planxty since the 70s

I've been singing this for 40 years. I learned it from Cynthia Gooding. It's a very fun song to sing and teach the chorus to the audience.

Also, even if all the other instruments are out of this world and Christy's voice just as good, it is the Tin whistle that kind of makes this song what it is. Best version ever.

Is there a more heartbreaking tune? Absolutely perfect!

Beautiful the great days of Planxty!

What a fantastic song & band. Brilliant

"Then she arose and put on her clothes, sayin' 'yobbo, I must leave ye'" He (crestfallen, plaintive): "Oh and when will you return again, and when will we get married? darn"

RIP Liam, legend.

As I Roved Out from The Well Below The Valley. And it was always Christy Moore's voice that won me over somehow. I think most seem to prefer the Andy Irvine song (which is also gorgeous) if you go by view counts on YT. Fair enough (-: I remember seeing a video of Christy Moore and Sinead singing a song together here on YT (you'll all know it). You could see that she had so much respect for him. It's enchanting. This was my absolute favourite from The Well Below The Valley. 14 dislikes? You'd have to have a heart of stone to dislike this performance. I swear the man has the most warm & soothing voice that I've ever heard! Thanks for uploading this so many years ago (-:

When I was in the Marine Corps, this never happened to me...

❤ Thank you for all! You are wunderfull ❤

Some really beautiful traditional Irish music ...

Feckin brilliant. Cheers

To those complaining about the song name: As many Irish (and Celtic, and American) trad songs and tunes, this has multiple names. And conversely, often multiple tunes or songs go by the same name. 'History' was a bit messy before the internet and the printing press. To complicate things even further, many (modern) artists will write new melodies and arrangements for old songs, or combine an old song with a new melody, to create entirely new works. Look up 'Love Henry' and listen to a few different versions. Definitely listen to Jolie Holland's version, which is absolutely haunting. Then listen to 'Henry Lee' by Nick Cave, and 'The False Lady' by John Doyle and Karan Casey. Cool, no? Personally I knew this song as 'Who Are You?'. (Actually, many artists who played it called it that). But who cares? It's actually quite fascinating when you get into it a bit. So much richness, so much mileage, out of such old creations.

pure beauty...cheers

Just left Flanagans bar in Lahinch where this played.....Savage night of Trad

GRANDI ! **********

Kat McKerrow Aye Kat - looks to be a Burke high D? Sweet sounding whistles.

@9granieri Thanks a million! :)

Devastating

What whistle is Liam playing? Is that a Michael Burke whistle?

Just curious, what does the line of the song mean? I'm not quite sure how to interpret it?

Good man Christy shame the couldn't get the right name .

does anyone know which concert this is from?

there is only one...

Liam og ❤

What is the name of this song on spotify

#2020

Best I Mrs you

Great song, but it is actually "The Night Visit" by Christy Moore, not "As I Roved Out".

erreur sur le titre de la chanson

Planxty - As I roved Out (Christy)

This is the night visitor, not as i roved out. Schoolboy error.

Good music. I love their work. But this song isn't As I Roved Out.

this is not "as I roved out"

Is Ireland going the wrong way?
