N17 - The Saw Doctors (Official Video) 

Seriously, 1990 this was released, I remember it was late in that year. I was raised in a midlands town and a group of us used to pile in the back of an old Peugeot 207 traveling on our way to Tullamore. Listening to this song always reminds me of the almost met this girl, almost shifted that girl, and the inevitable, you really got lucky with the other girl. Drunk out of our tree, After Ireland did so well in the World Cup in Italy, after doing the Leaving Cert, turning 18, the future really was ours and seriously, what a time to be alive. Thanks Mike, Colm, and Joe for the memories. Rest in Peace Sean, hold my spot at the bar my friend, we'll get drunk again some day and hold each other up, somehow. Thank you for letting me know what a wonderful human being you really are.

The singer always reminded me of Gordon Strachan!

My wife and I honeymooned in Ireland. Heard this song by great little band in a pub. Always brings back how much fun we had. Have had a few pints since then but toast Ireland every time!

I'm a ride share driver in Melbourne (australia) and yesterday had four Irish girls in the car just beltin' this song out at the top of their voices, the passion for Ireland was thick in the air and reminded me so much of when I was a young man hitch-hiking through the south of the Emerald Isle. God bless you beautiful people of Ireland!

My Mother is from Co Galway.... Love Galway and love the town of the tribes... I'm English born

I remember listening to this on my Walkman on the metro in Paris. I was so depressed. Couldn’t move home fast enough.

What a great band and memories... I sing this now and the younger people love it... Such an underrated band. Your music inspired me guys 👌🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

This song has such a special place in my heart. I was at the miracle match between Munster-Gloucester. When the celebration and sing song ended, N-17 came on the speakers. I stood on the field at Thomond Park, beaming and taking it in. Ever since N-17 is my victory song.

This hits home... moved from Ireland so I do wish I was on that N17. Ireland forever

I always used to cry when I heard this song because I’m from Galway and I’m in Laois now and I really miss it 😢

50 years today i left Derry to go for a weeks holiday in Galway with friends and my future wife ( still together) this song reminds of that wonderful week and some of those friends who sadly passed away

Wish I was on that M17, Concrete dividers and the Armco gleams!

Still listening in 2021 and I have this on my playlist it is so so good❤❤

This always reminds of the craic back in Ireland.

Waaaay waay back in 2003 My brother my auld lad and i used to travel the length and breadth of the country following limerick fc whenever they were playing away from home. Hadnt a notion most of the time where we were going. But this was on the radio so it didnt matter. #awaydays

Drinking Guinness out of a Fosters glass. Back when you got a good pint no matter what the glass. Now its pints of slop out of a branded glass. Keeps the tourists happy I suppose. Or are my own glasses rose tinted...

Still love it.

Proud to be Irish. God bless 👍🏻

I remember being in Mulleady's Pub with the band after a show. Dave Mulleady was there before my world fell apart. Before I knew it could. I recall one of the band member's girlfriends had had a fairly serious hand surgery and how I enjoyed the chat and the drink and wished her hand well faster than it sounded it would get well. It felt like an ordinary night in my life out with another band going somewhere. I was always around such circles. It was a joy listening to this song. For a moment I was back in that pub. Nothing special really, just a moment I recall well because I like the Saw Doctor's sound and recall nice people.

Moone Boy brought me here. The episode was called 'Boylé Boylé' and it was the part in which they were all in the van and stopped it for going tot he toilet. I've been searching a while for it and finally found it. Love the song.

What a brilliant song. Great to see the Warwick hotel in it as well. What a great place it was. What a shame every thing we once had is ruined. I recently heard this song been sung by someone else it was appalling.

Still just as good as when I first heard it j the 1993 (?)

I saw this band at Manchester Academy in 1994. I'd never even heard of them! I only went to try and impress a girl I used to fancy. It didn't work 😔

There's the N17 down to Dunnottar, South Africa. Used to drive that route to go paragliding; there's no stone walls, just spoil heaps and brown grass, but you can sing: Wish I was back on that N17 Mine dumps and the grass is tangerine 😄😁😁

Stone walls and the grasses green...very Irish indeed ...

Ohhhhh to be back on my island

Genius

I love the built in pisstakery with everything the Irish do, shoutout to all the Americans thinking 'oh my gosh this N17 must be one hell of a highway'

No one can sing N 17 like the saw doctors

Thanks lads for this awesome song, brings me home to Sligo everytime I hear it.

I love the song

This always makes me think of when we holidayed in Sligo when I was a kid.

brilliant.. when the saw doctors wee rare...

Yes was in Shines in LB and heard it!

Brilliant

I was on the N17 last week over from America on my honeymoon and was blasting this song all the way to Sligo

tolo makay 20 years later

Excellent.

Oh the barraland nights. How we miss em.

Hitched this road a few times

The Irish club in Dartford Kent used to play this on the jukebox a lot

Yeah ❤️❤️

Great music video.

What a bop

Memories all good

Who are all these young lads singing the Saw Doctors' song? :o)

David o Dwyer loves your song. He’s a very sick young boy. He would love an autograph. Gbtm 💋

I'm not familiar with the N17 (I live in Bray) but I have always loved this song.

The next song will be in the future 😊

Class

Still a belter in 2020🤙🤙

Today I was on the n 17

Tune!!!

AHH that's the Ireland I remember lads 🍀🇮🇪🍀

Very good laughter

I first went to Ireland in 1994 and it was much like this song. Now....not so much.

N 17

So sad to see this town nowadays all the great pubs closed nothing let but bookie shops chemists and chippers atmosphere totally sucked out of it.

I looked this up to relive somw youth. Now im just angry and I dont even know why.

I wish I was on the N21, Abbeyfeale....

you have to upload this in an HD version!!! My stereo is full belt and its not nearly as loud as i need this classic to be!!! sort it out lads would ya! xoxo

Well, I didn't see much future When I left the Christian brothers school So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile And I left the girls of Tuam And sometimes when I'm reminiscing I see the prefabs and my old friends And I know that they'll be changed or gone By the time I get home again And I wish I was on that N17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes, I wish I was on that N17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams Well, the ould fella left me to Shannon Was the last time I travelled that road And as we turned left at Claregalway I could feel a lump in my throat As I pictured the thousands of times That I travelled that well worn track And I know that things would be different If I ever decide to go back And I wish I was on that N17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes, I wish I was on that N17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams Now as I tumble down highways Or filthy overcrowded trains There's no one to talk to in transit So I sit there and daydream in vain And behind all these muddled up problems Of living on a foreign soil I can still see the twists and turns in the road From the square to the town of the tribes And I wish I was on that N17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes, I wish I was on that N17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams, oh Just travelling with my thoughts and dreams

What is the name of the pub that’s the lads are enjoying a few pints? I’d like to be there myself soon if it’s still open

What a brilliant song and is it any wonder they had to leave the Whest. They were so poor over there that they couldnt afford drums and had to play the tables instead, wish I could play the tables that well

R.I.P Anthony Nicholson, 0:02 - 0:11

Quality song lads..... but look at the heads on ye!!!

Fucking class

Tome chantin' shams...... Tis a roebuck song.

Ssdns I love us

what a shame ... amazing song, but audio volume is way too low.

Tiocfaidh ar la, apologisiea for lack of fadas

N17 By the Saw Doctors

Tolü Makay's version is a whole new experience. Lovely. Check it out.

Mah uncles in it he worked in the pub :) but he looks AT LOT DIFFERENT A LOT XD

Romantic Irelands dead and gone, its with O'Leary in the grave

M17 now

N17 is just down the road from me Gaillimh Abù 🇮🇪

Bet they hate this song by now.

Tula’s version is arguably better🙈from a paddy in Birmingham 💚🍺🇯🇲🇮🇪💚

Way better than u2

Love you guys and this song. But why the hell does the audio sound like it's from an eight track from a 1976 Dodge Diplomat with only one functional speaker wrapped in a towel buried in sand?! I bought this CD and lost it during one of my many relocations. This song deserves better. Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 re-do the audio. With all of my heart I implore you. 🙏🙏🙏

Ireland when it was still Irish

Nobody cares if you remember the lyrics differently

Engagement party in adare Manor House 🏠 🤪 ✨ 😍 ☺ ♥ 🏠 🤪 ✨ 😍 ☺ ♥ 🏠 🤪 ✨ 😍 ☺ ♥ 🏠 🤪 ✨ 😍 ☺ ♥ 🏠 🤪 ✨ 😍

When ireland was ireland! Glad i got to see some of it. Globalism killed it

3 people from Mayo, still can't get Sam

Love The Docs because as a woman from the North of Ireland I get it but Jesus' Christ how can they let a person who never lived in our history sing this song!
