The town that I loved so well (irish song)

[Jean Pierre]

Hello to all my Irish friends from Ireland and elsewhere (and all the guys in SC of course)

I always loved this song since I first heard it by Pierre Bensusan (immense French guitarist, and singer)

"The Town I Loved So Well" is a song written by Phil Coulter about his childhood in Derry, Northern Ireland. The first three verses are about the simple lifestyle he grew up with in Derry, while the final two deal with the Troubles, and lament how his placid hometown had become a major military outpost, plagued with violence.


I love it so much that I will post a version for classical guitar a little later

Excuse my poor accent but try yourself to sing a french song like
"La Madelon vient nous servir à boire" 



 I just do the singing and two acoustic guitars,

Mandolin, fiddle, bass, accordeon is BIAB

Well thanks for your listening dear friends

Great version of a great song JP
You are a real pro.
Sung and played so well.

Wish I knew a second language.

I suppose it's never too late to learn.

Regards

Tommy.

Beautiful... reminds me of The Dubliners. Excellent work, JP... you are a masterful multi-instrumentalist!

[Jean Pierre]

thanks all the guys

for Johnny Robbo

Yes, the Dubliners was palying this song ...for me the best version that had known was by Pierre BENSUSAN ( a master of DADGAD Tuning, and also very good singer )

If you can access this page you can get an idea of Pierre talent

I wanted to make a version in picking DADGAD (I have the tabs) but... too hard
