The Foggy Dew - The Dubliners | 40 Years Reunion: Live from The Gaiety (2003)

I’m a brazilian and this song is so much beatifull, now i realise why irish people are so proud of their country! Amazing!

Mai ci fu'popolo più orgoglioso.

They say Sinead O'Conner's version of this song is the best, but after listening to this here rendition, I'm not so sure ...

Ireland, my Love

ERIN GO BRAGH

Kudos to Ireland, Foggy Dew is a great song, especially this version, it represents the gracious Irish spirit of defiance. To us Macedonians especially it is valued because we feal connected since early 20th century when Roger Casement has supported our Macedonian St Elias uprising of 1903, and Macedonian liberation from the Ottoman Empire. We are proud for Ireland's success, especially that remembrance and admiration is alive today in the city of Bitola, because Ireland has thrived, but Macedonia is still struggling with the consequences, since it was divided in 1912 by Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria, Christian neighbors that proved to be even greater despots and tyrants for Macedonians than the Muslim Ottomans. Erin go Bragh!

My favorite part; T'was better to die neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud El Bar

Sud El Bar (Seddülbahir) and Suvla is site for the landing at by the British during first world war. (in Çanakkale/Turkey)

we said then too; Canakkale is impassable.

Greetings to the free people of Ireland. People should not die anywhere other than their own homeland.

At last no feckin censorship on comments, love Christy Moore especial Viva la Quinta Brigada

Puy du Fou 🏰

This is the best song of The Dub

If you don't know how to play the irish song - just give it to The Dubliners. And they will do it great.

No pipe did hum no battle drum.did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus bell oer the Liffey swell
Rang out in the foggy dew.

No pipe did hum no battle drum.did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus bell oer the Liffey swell
Rang out in the foggy dew.

Lyrics:

It was down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I.
There Armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by.
No fife did hum, nor battle drum, did sound its dread tattoo.
But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell rang out through the foggy dew.

Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war.
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Sulva or Sud El Bar.
And from the plains of Royal Meath, strong men came hurrying through.
While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns, sailed in by the foggy dew.

'Twas England bade our Wild Geese go, that small nations might be free.
But their lonely graves are by Sulva's waves or the fringe of the Great North Sea.
Oh, had they died by Pearse's side or fought with Cathal Brugha,
Their names we would keep where the Fenians sleep, 'neath the shroud of the foggy dew.

But the bravest fell, and the solemn bell rang mournfully and clear,
For those who died that Eastertide in the springtime of the year.
And the world did gaze, in deep amaze, at those stout-hearted men, but few,
Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the foggy dew.

Back to the glen I rode again, and my heart with grief was sore.
For I parted with those valiant men, I never will see no more.
And to and fro in my dreams I will go, I'll kneel and I'll pray for you,
Oh, slavery fled, ye rebel dead, when ye fell 'neath the foggy dew.

GREAT VOICE AND A GREAT BAND!

A lost art , Celts free

Erin go bragh

kick but paddy!

Paddy Reilly had some belt on him.. A huge voice...

'Twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky
Than at Sulva or Sud-El-Bar 🇨🇮✊🏻

Land of Saint and scholars ✝️🇮🇪

Why is George RR Martin playing the Banjo?

Beautiful

As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I
There Armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by
No fife did hum nor battle drum did sound it's dread tattoo
But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell rang out through the foggy dew
Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Sulva or Sud El Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through
While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns sailed in through the foggy dew
'Twas Britannia bade our Wild Geese go that small nations might be free
But their lonely graves are by Sulva's waves or the shore of the Great North Sea
Oh, had they died by Pearse's side or fought with Cathal Brugha
Their names we will keep where the fenians sleep 'neath the shroud of the foggy dew
But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in the springing of the year
And the world did gaze, in deep amaze, at those fearless men, but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the foggy dew

Wherry the river Shannon flows

Still a good song. But better by Alan Stivell.

Quando scompariranno loro fino all'ultimo Dubliners ancora in attività, chissà se come nella migliore tradizione folklorica Irlandese andranno a riposare nel Sidhe, come i loro magici e mitologici antenati Tuatha De Danann!!!

Thank you!

Great job boys, absolute class as always! I just think it's such a shame that Canon O'Neill when he wrote the song mentioned "The MEN" at least 4 times, but the WOMEN of the Rising = ZERO times. All honour to those great women of Cumman na mBan and the ICA, may their courage and loyalty to the cause during the struggle for freedom never be forgotten...God bless you all Ladies.❤

My Feet are attaping... again..

Southern US Scots-Irish here. Many of us feel for our cousins so oppressed.

Nice version. What a voice Paddy had!

stupenda!!!

Does anyone know what say Barney mcKenna at 1.06?

Sad that he did not join the 50 years tour!

Said it many times to myself so I might as well tell you lot, this is my fav version of this song. It was always Luke Kelly on his own but no it’s this.
