A pint listening to the ballad's singing along absolutely brilliant

Worked in the central hotel in Donegal Town where the lads used to play quire often. Fantastic memories

I’ve never heard this song before but it makes me feel like crying with a kind of nostalgia and melancholy, bitter sweet feeling. ☘️

Takes me back to good old days when the curtains would be drawn, the lights dimmed and the whole pub would be singing along to songs such as this.

I listened to The Furey's Greatest Hits during my first pregnancy in 1997. Never was happier, never will be again. There's no feeling like knowing your child is dancing in your belly to the music you grew up on. Now he's a teen, and listens to Irish songs on the weekends when he parties...LOL.

Was my grans funeral song - she passed nov 2020. Miss you gran.

I used to love driving along with my mum and she had the fureys on tape. This song was my favourite.

I have not heard this song in years great song love it!!!!

Great song. Fabulous lyrics. Great group.

pure class, these people are gifted.

Travellers were troubadours. Closest to tradition and music. Took longer to lose their roots than other peoples. We’re tormented to be and live and think like everyone else. The Gypsies. The men who played at courts of kings. The poets. The storytellers. The wandering men.

Have been fortunate enough to see these guys live at the Crewe Lyceum a few years ago , They blew us away ! Folk music at its very Best !

Great chorus, one of the best

My mum always told me this was my dad's favourite song. He passed away a good few years ago now and I don't know why I've never listened to this before, but it is actually perfect. It summed him up to a tee. Down at the Red Rose Cafe everyone forgot who they were, forgot their woes and struggles in life.... beautiful...

Seen these guys last week. I didn't know this song before I went in but I was obsessed with it when I came out. What a band 😍

This is my favourite . I love especially to play it when I go to Holland on my holidays annually. I love to join in the words each time I listen to it.

fantastic song, sang with loads of passion really ove it well done

Was my bridal waltz at my wedding 20 years ago, yes i married a woman of dutch parents and we're still together.

LOVE THIS . SAW ANDRE RIEU IN AMSTERDAM THIS YEAR AND THIS WAS A FEATURED ORCHASTRAL VERSION. DIFFERENT NATIONS SANG IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE. BRILLIANT.

I absolutely love this song, every time I play it I sing along at the top of my voice. My wife hates it.

Remembering my granny Teasie Harris who left us two years ago today, she loved this song and she loved the Fureys.

Reminds me of the party's in my grannies house...all the family there singing their hearts our .....Good times ❤

i love this song so much

Haha, Irish + Dutch = perfect match :D

SO BEAUTIFULLY SANG..💗🎶

The last thing my brother sent me before he died rip you will be sadly missed by many j r Fritsa grand old team to play for hh ❤

I used to sing this song when I was four

This was me and dads wedding dance song 😁

This song make one longing to experience this café at this harbour. Wish we could see it.

Love to hear the Fureys and some Dutch band singing this song together as this song is in Dutch 'De Kleine Café'!

My favorite.

On a beautiful farm in South Africa.....I grew up with this song.....in the 70's and 80's - so many childhood memories.....😢

My most favorite song 😁

This reminds me of my father would always play it in his car

Love the Furys

My nanny made me put this on haha she loves this song

The high status men. When the spoken word was valued and the song even more. When lyrical ballads were the norm. When people were entertained by what they heard. The beauty of it. The imagery. When people could not read or write. The oral and aural traditions. When performance wasn’t recorded on tape or video but in the words of men who passed on their stories of great night and great days and great events and great women and men and cattle and, and everything. Seamus O’Grianna was a Donegal man who recorded the stories he’d heard. An Irish speaker who lived in Gaoth Dobhair (Gweedore). He wrote under the pen name of Maire (Mary). He spent his last years, as I think also did his brother, also a writer, far away from his homestead in a psychiatric hospital in Letterkenny. I wonder why that was. As a teenager I went to where he grew up to learn Irish. We met men who were professional storytellers. That’s all they did. Went from house to house and pub to pub and told their stories. Not their personal stories but their stories of the past where they lived. Of the people and their customs. Their loves and their woes. Their fights and their hardships. Their class struggles and their work. Their marriages and their dowries and bargaining over women and drink and farms. Their fears for their children and of death and disease. The world today doesn’t even know that Maire ever fuckin existed. He was more important to me than that halfwit Madonna who in some convoluted way probably thinks she’s Maire, ie Mary, the mother of Jesus. F F S.

It is so beautiful.....I love it. Happy New Year all my music friends.....

RIP to my sister Margaret who cud sing this in London on paddy day the best times I had with my sister Margaret and Kathleen rip both of thm .... 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Something has been lost in the comments, I may have made this reply before, if I have then ...well once again... I was on a journey from Liverpool to Wigan with 2 granddaughters aboard they were bored so I played this for hours they were mystified we sang all the way home......Both are now folk singers with the love of the Irish. They were 8/9 years old then and now 40+ al we all love the Fureys...Ireland for ever

Spent many a happy hour listening to this song at the Breda beer festival. At the time i was told there was 200 cafes in a square mile, don't know if it was true but it seemed like it and a good time was had by all.

Celtic blood is universal, were all connected so erm yerr god bless :)

There is also a German version, sung by Peter Alxender - "Die kleine Kneipe" ... An international success, this song. Everyone knows such a place ... Great :-)

@alpquelle1 its dutch song wrote in 1975 by valder abraham and covered by many bands including my good friends the fureys and davey arthur. have had the pleasure to meet valder in holland.

First heard the instrumental by Andre Reiu then looked up the lyrics. Simply beautiful song. I wonder if the Red Rose Cafe is still in business?

Grand!

Original written in my little ol' home town of Hoorn. The only famous thing we brought this world in recent times, aside from George Baker :P

Thanks for posting, I loved to here this song, I have also the original dutch version. It's written by Pierre Kartner also know as Vader Abraham, Het kleine cafe aan de haven that's the original title.
