The Blacksmith / Blacksmithereens - Planxty, 1972 

This is so bloody brilliant.

For all of its mistakes, this still manages to be one of the most exciting live tv performances I’ve ever seen.

Einfach einmalig, kriege immer Gänsehaut, wenn ich die Stimme höre, auch noch nach 35 Jahren.

What gifted musicians!!!

Poor Dónal Lunny on the left had a 17 year old son, Shane, with Sinéad O'Connor, Shane died four weeks ago.

Also an very interesting Version, beneath those of steeleye span. The fast strings and the Slow Voice is comlex to bring together, I Think.

Listing to this 18/1/2024 im now 66 used to try to sing this in bars yeard sgo when i was pissed🤭

Thought the uillean was lost in the din of everything but the sudden shift before the end was incredible Thank you for sharing

Brings me back to the first time in saw them in the Hangar in Salthill in 1973. Still the best gig I was ever at.

The 5 disciples of the most stunningly brilliant and beautiful real Irish music and haunting stories Christy Moore, Andy Irvine, Dónal Lunny, Liam O'Flynn and Paul Brady. Though there are very hundreds thousands of excellent musicians In Ireland those 5 men are the extra special ones

My Grandfather was a blacksmith.

And you said you'd marry me, and would not deny me. If I saíd I 'd marry you, it was only for to try you, so bring your witness, love, and I'll not deny you. These are the verses that Andy had forgotten.

❤ Brilliant piece of beautiful music ♥️🔥

The head on Christy !

Nice 👍☦️❤️ I certainly fear staring into the face of Christ's power when he works within ones self. It's a story of Sampson thing. For me.
