Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement.... and I'm glad you liked the tune 🙂
I can hear the Irish lilting in your voice.
People have said I sound Irish before now, but I'm from Liverpool. There is a huge Irish influence in Liverpool though. People in Dublin say Liverpool is the second capital of Ireland. Also, I'm half Irish on my dad's side but never knew him or spent much time in Ireland. It's somewhere I really want to visit properly some day.
I love Irish music so much and am a real nature lover so Ireland is somewhere I need to get to one day, especially the wild western coast. My dad's family come from Cork and they have an Irish music festival there each year which I should make the effort to get to and reconnect with my roots 🙂
Cheers m8. It felt reasonably easy to perform as it's got a place close to my heart. The lyrics are ingrained from when I used to play it in pubs years ago, so I didn't have to really look at the screen much despite having not played it in ages :)
it can totally throw you when you have to read and play!
For sure.
I find it really difficult to sing and play at the same time as well. That's why I was paranoid about my voice breaking out of key lol. It's been known to go flying all over the place like a teenager when their voice is breaking. Funny for anyone watching 🤣 crazy thing is, I can hold a tune pretty well when I'm not playing guitar, it gets even worse when I try to pick. That's why I stuck with chords in this one.
Open mic should be a good motivator to start practicing properly again. Be loads of Irish stuff like this in the begining as it's what cones natural for me.
Thanks cryptopie. I'm glad you enjoyed the Irish Ballad :) I was unsure about my singing, but when I listened back to it, I thought it wasn't too bad. I really enjoyed playing this song so I think I'll enter more open mic competitions in the future :)
It sounds so sad but I like it. You really did good on this song. I don't know any Irish songs and the only Irish musician I know is Dolores from the Cranberries.

Great job! Love the Irish ballads and I can hear the Irish lilting in your voice.

I’m half Irish also. My mother was a war bride from Co. Mayo, Eire. She never lost her Irish accent from all the years living in Canada.
That's cool, Co. Mayo looks nice.

I had visited the Wild West Mayo about 9 yrs. ago. Wonderful place. Still have some cousins there in Belmullet and Bangor Erris.
Not so shaky! Good job man and a fine song!

It's handy when the lyrics are ingrained in, it can totally throw you when you have to read and play!
For sure.

No worries mate!
I find it hard to sing full stop so trying to sing awfully and play guitar is almost beyond me!
It's a very mellow song and calming @raj808 you performed well.

Yeah, man... it is a very sad song. A lot of older Irish songs like this are really sad and about tragic events.
I love the Cranberries and 'Zombie' particularly. But that has that sad Irish vibe to it, with a little anger over the subject they're tackling.
Cheers for checking out my open mic entry watersnake101 :)
Beautiful selection, way to go @raj808. 💪

I'm glad you enjoyed the song and that my singing voice turned out decent in the end ;-)
