The most requested Irish pub songs of all time – SEE VIDEO

'Danny Boy' at the bar and at the wake. It gets the soul attention.

hard to pick just one, I'd rather add Brennan on the Moor or Outlawed Raparee and the great Liam Clancy singing Dirty Old Town.

I'd have a hard time picking only 10 of Luka Bloom's best songs!

Outstanding my Irish friends. God Bless ya all!

Liam Keyes says Kevin Barry was sung around the world by Irishmen. Liam is half right. Actually it was sung and recorded in 160 different languages including 60 different chinese dialects. Russing, Polish, Hungarian, Slovak, Vietnamese, etc. Kevin Barry was recorded by Paul Robeson.. you can listen on youtube just google Paul Robeson, Kevin Barry. and of course, don't forget Luka Bloom (Christie Moore's brother) was born Kevin Barry Moore.

I'd love to see something similar on Traditional Irish Songs, one set for songs in English language and another set for Irish language.

Wild Rover #1. You forgot Wild Colonial Boy.

"Dirty Old Town", "Fields of Athenry", "N17", "Com'on Elleen", "Celtic symphony", "Put'em Under Pressure"(1990 World Cup Song), Where the Streets Have No Name". All these always get the crowd going

Awesome.

I still vote for Patsy Watchorn as the best of the pub singers. He is now with The Dubliners, but worked out of The Lower Deck for years. Great voice and has at least 4 albums worth finding and buying...you can do so online. He is not quite as old as the rest of The Dubliners, but no spring chicken, either.

The Holy Ground.

There so many that it would be difficult to pick a top ten to satisfy, The Fields's of Athenry deserves to be in there someplace. Kevin Barry became famous throughout the World and without the modern technology available at the time. It was banned by the BBC (British Brodcasting Corporation)because of it's anti-British tone. It was banned by Radio Eireann at the request of Kevin's Mother and was not played on the Irish Airwaves until she passed away in the late Fifties. It was sung throughout the World by Irishmen serving in the American and British Forces. Of course a case could me made for lots of other Irish Songs.

What about "The Fields of Athenry"! I've heard it in every pub that had a musician, usually towards the end of the evening, and seen grown men cry while singing it!!

Less singing, more drinking!

I hadn't thought before now to use this site to try and locate a wonderfully energetic, and at the same time, beautiful CD I bought in a local bookstore about 8 or 9 years ago. It was titled "Whiskey in the Jar." There were absolutely NO musicians names (all male, as far as I know) listed anywhere on the label. It sounded as if it had been recorded before a crowd of people....not necessarily a concert venue...perhaps in a large pub, MAYBE a concert hall? At any rate, it contained, of course, Whiskey in the Jar, Danny Boy, Carrickfergus, The Fields of Athenry, Three Drunken Sisters (a medley), Mary of Donloe(spelling!), The Irish Rover, one beautifully moving song about a man emigrating to America, and several other delightful songs that I can't recall at this writing. This CD cost me a total of $4.00 in a bargain bin, and became, at first hearing, my absolute favorite CD. It's gone missing, and I canNOT find, ANYWHERE, this exact CD. Of course, not knowing the musicians names, or the name of the group, doesn't help, at all, but I'm hoping this might jog someone's memory and help me find another copy! Amazon has several renditions of these songs, on various other CDs, but not this exact one. Thanks for any help, or insight!
