My favourite instrumental tune is the Lonesome Boatman. Great tune!!!
No matter who covers it just makes me tap my feet.
Just wondering what other Forumites think and listen to or recommend similar tunes. |

When I was younger we used to call the 'ladies thing' the lonesome boatman. It's shaped a bit like a boat and if ye look carefully you can see a wee man at one end. That's him....the lonesome boatman ! |

Finbarr pours his heart into it though, as he does with all his music. Every time I hear it I picture him sitting there with his eyes closed, deep in the moment, his flute in his hand, and his tin whistle as well. |

have seen the blarney pilgrims many times and actually got to know fairly well.they are the best ballad group I ever heard. But phil coulter's version of my old man is top class too. Would bring a tear to a glass eye. Check it out.
