I`m 76 years old, half Irish and half Scottish, can`t speak a word of Gaelic but love to listen to it being sung but always end up in tears. I`ve always loved to sing and listen to traditional folk music but this is something else, how lucky we are to have these talented people to soothe our souls and break our hearts.

I am in my 70’s and learning Gaelic- Lakota and Irish here we have been in North America since around 1645 on the Irish side and generations more on my Lakota side! My father was from Donegal and his mother was from the county Clare! He was born in 1899 and died in 1989! Dad was 53 when I was born and I grew up learning Irish songs and laments but knew very little of real Irish history! We lived the Lakota way but my mother had a deep love and respect for the people of Ireland! Upon my Dad’s last wish my sister and I are learning Irish Gaelic along with our grandchildren! 💚🤍🧡💚🤍🧡

Its just plain CELTIC let rip in spades.Its all ther the mists of time,the sacred oaks,the Old Gods,the introspection,the despair,suffering and sensitivity and the peeping of the little people across the half door that Yeats knew about,all still there despite our modern "sophistication" and digital "know-how".Long may the Sean-Nos last.

God the talent in that room!!

His voice makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. So other worldly, so haunting.

tá sé go hálainn, saolta eile.

Thats some serious flute

"Where have you been since morning, my pet? Where have you been since morning, oh flower of young men?" " Fishing and fowling. Make my bed for me. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What did you eat at your breakfast, my pet? What did you eat at your breakfast, oh flower of young men?" " An eel with a twist in her, poison kneaded and mixed into her. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your brother, my pet? What will you leave your brother, oh flower of young men?" " Five thousand pounds, a gun and a hound. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your sister, my pet? What will you leave your sister, oh flower of young men?" " Little white sheep and the cattle to milk. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your father, my pet? What will you leave your father, oh flower of young men?" " The key to my stable, that and my mare. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your mother, my pet? What will you leave your mother, oh flower of young men?" " If I leave life forever to her I'll leave her a broken heart. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your children, my pet? What will you leave your children, oh flower of young men?" " A long time wandering in the cold, and each night a different shelter. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your wedded wife, my pet? What will you leave your wedded wife, oh flower of young men?" " Hell as her surroundings and Heaven to be closed on her. I'm sick in/to my heart and will be for ever and ever."

Whoever dislikes this is spiritless.

Wild beaches . The beaches I like. And this ancient song sung so well. Could this be the nearest thing to heaven?

Still one of the single most captivating performances I’ve ever found in youtube. This is as amazing as anything I’ve seen with my own two eyes. Thank you for this gift.

Comhghairdeachas ó Fhrancach, meastóirí na hÉireann Congratulations from a Frenchman, admirers of Ireland sorry if my Irish isn't exact

Makes me cry everytime. This is so beautiful. Go raibh maith agat, from Chiloé - Chile ♡

The sound of our soul.

Liam's just a genius!

The Song of the Eel (Version of Lord Randal) "Where have you been since morning, my pet? Where have you been since morning, oh flower of young men?" "Fishing and fowling. Make my bed for me.

Ihr said alle so ein wundervolles Team unglaublich!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ich liebe euch alle für das was ihr seid was ihr verkörpert as ihr fühlt und hier zum ausdruck bringt :* ;* ;*

I wept as this song reached its climax. What a moving piece. As an Australian born Irish I somehow understood this without understanding Gaelic.

Far better than morse or less of any and most situations. Join me in amazement.

This is a beautiful otherworldly piece. Liam's singing is haunting all on its own with a deep resounding depth to it; his choice piano notes are a great emphasis at points. I'm also enjoying the drone set up by first the guitars, and then by Julie on harmonium. You can hear that flute "wail" in that piercing solo, and violins come to the fore to great effect. The final segment with the blending of all the instruments is a perfect cap to the performance. Simply beautiful

Ethereal; and a masterpiece. I hope many more will come across this and appreciate the talent it requires to create a piece of this calibre.

So good. Liam has such a wonderful voice and his piano work is superb. Muireann on the flute is such a great part, and the whole ensemble is wonderful. Thank you! Port is such a wonderful show, is wish it were easier to watch in the US.

Id sell my kidney to be in that room listening live.

What a brilliant song from several great performers - such a meaningful performance

Gorgeous music. Settles me deep into the cradle of the psyche.

A delicate, beautiful melody transporting this song through time and space. Voice and instruments in perfect harmony. Awesome performance, well done. Congratulations.

It’s a couple of years since I last listened. I returned to be once more bewitched.

Reminds me of some research I did at the Hudson Bay Archives in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Just about every ship that stopped for fresh water and supplies on its way to Hudson Bay would also pick up some young men, this was during tge Napoleonic wars and healthy young men were few and far between

thank you all for such beautiful work.

What a remarkable ensemble and a remarkable piece, rising and falling like a summer storm.

I am so grateful that this can still be heard. May the spirit of the past live in the now

I love his voice.

The melancholy is richly beautiful.

Amazing music !

Wundervoll und dieser Bart und die Haare uhhhh wunedervoll für mich als Weib Sami/Maoriindianisch ;*

Such powerful lyrics and emotion in the song love the gaels and both scottish and irish gaelic music it soothes the soul

So moving and powerful, Liam. The sound is deep, rich and ancient

Whoever decided to give this homeless guy a microphone is a genius!

I'd love a release of this on audio, please please.

Truly divine 🙏🏼❤️🪷

Mesmerising

Exellent, le talent au rdv et belle musique 🎶

Jim Morrison has been in Ireland the whole time!

Níl a fhios agam cén fáth nach dtugann Conradh na Gaeilge €1 milliún do Liam chun 150 de na hamhráin is fearr a thaifead i nGaeilge, agus ansin é a chur ar fáil ar líne chun an teanga a chur chun cinn. Bheadh ​​sé ar an milliún Euro ab fhearr a chaith siad riamh.

I send my love to you, rockand roll ,spiritually speaking. AMEN

How beautiful there are no words to explain it.Greetings from Germany ❤😊👍

Wow! Simply wow!

Lovely Liam ❤️

This song is about a young man whose wife has poisoned him with his eel dinner. The Song of the Eel (Lord Randall) "Where have you been since morning, my pet? Where have you been since morning, oh flower of young men?" " Fishing and fowling. Make my bed for me. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What did you eat at your breakfast, my pet? What did you eat at your breakfast, oh flower of young men?" " An eel with a twist in her, poison kneaded and mixed into her. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your brother, my pet? What will you leave your brother, oh flower of young men?" " Five thousand pounds, a gun and a hound. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down."

I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your children, my pet? What will you leave your children, oh flower of young men?"

É Grá mé🥹

Go raibh maith agat as seo! Táim ag foghlaim Gaeilge agus bhí mé ag iarraidh teacht ar na focail don amhrán an-álainn seo. Agus seo iad - aistriúchán Gaeilge agus Béarla! "Cé raibh tú ó mhaidin a dheartháirín ó? Cé raibh tú ó mhaidin a phlúir na bhfear óg?" " Ag iascach 's ag foghlaereacht, cóirigh mo leaba dhom, Tá mé tinn fá mo chroí agus caithfidh mé luí." "Céard a d'ith tú ag do bhricfeasta a dheartháirín ó? Céard a d'ith tú ag do bhricfeasta a phlúir na bhfear óg?" " Eascann a raibh lúb uirthi, nimh fuinte brúite uirthi, Tá mé tinn fá mo chroí agus caithfidh mé luí." "Céard a fhágfas tú ag do dheartháir a dheartháirín ó? Céard a fhágfas tú ag do dheartháir a phlúir na bhfear óg?" " Muise, cúig mhíle punt aige, gunna agus cú aige, Tá mé tinn fá mo chroí agus caithfidh mé luí." "Céard a fhágfas tú ag do dheirfiúr a dheartháirín ó? Céard a fhágfas tú ag do dheifiúr a phlúir na bhfear óg?" " Caoirigh beaga bána aici, na beithigh le bleán aici, Tá mé tinn fá mo chroí agus caithfidh mé luí." "Céard a fhágfas tú ag t'athair a dheartháirín ó? Céard a fhágfas tú ag t'athair a phlúir na bhfear óg?" " Eochair mo stábla aige, cuig mile púnt aige, Tá mé tinn fá mo chroí agus caithfidh mé luí." "Céard a fhágfas tú ag do mháithrín a dheartháirín ó? Céard a fhágfas tú ag do mháithrín a phlúir na bhfear óg?" " Má fhágaim an saol go brách aici, fágfad croí cráite aici, Tá mé tinn fá mo chroí agus caithfidh mé luí." "Céard a fhágfas tú ag do chuid páistí a dheartháirín ó? Céard a fhágfas tú ag do chuid páistí a phlúir na bhfear óg?" " Muise fuacht fada 'gus seachrán, agus oíche ar gach bothán, Tá mé tinn fá mo chroí agus caithfidh mé luí." "Céard a fhágfas tú ag do bhean phósta a dheartháirín ó? Céard a fhágfas tú ag do bhean phósta a phlúir na bhfear óg?" " Ifreann mar dhúiche aici, na Flaithis a bheith dúinte uirthi, Tá mé tinn fá mo chroí agus bead go deo deo." The Song of the Eel (It's closely related to an incest ballad found in Ireland, Scotland and in aEngland, where it's known as "Lord Randall". This Irish version is more mysterioius, though!) "Where have you been since morning, my pet? Where have you been since morning, oh flower of young men?" " Fishing and fowling. Make my bed for me. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What did you eat at your breakfast, my pet? What did you eat at your breakfast, oh flower of young men?" " An eel with a twist in her, poison kneaded and mixed into her. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your brother, my pet? What will you leave your brother, oh flower of young men?" " Five thousand pounds, a gun and a hound. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your sister, my pet? What will you leave your sister, oh flower of young men?" " Little white sheep and the cattle to milk. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your father, my pet? What will you leave your father, oh flower of young men?" " The key to my stable, that and my mare. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your mother, my pet? What will you leave your mother, oh flower of young men?" " If I leave life forever to her I'll leave her a broken heart. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your children, my pet? What will you leave your children, oh flower of young men?" " A long time wandering in the cold, and each night a different shelter. I'm sick in/to my heart and I'll have to lie down." "What will you leave your wedded wife, my pet? What will you leave your wedded wife, oh flower of young men?" " Hell as her surroundings and Heaven to be closed on her. I'm sick in/to my heart and will be for ever and ever."
