Bridie Gallagher - Moonlight in Mayo download song

Mum and Dad always requested this on a Saturday night out in The Earl of Essex, Manor Park.

RIP Bridie, a very sad day for Ireland, especially your beloved Donegal.

this lady was my late mothers cousin and my wee ma was a lovely singer too. plus she brought 10 children up both wonderful r,i,p,

I am now much too old for comfort...but I well remember a programme on Radio Luxembourg in the 1950-60s called 'Irish requests! It was a freak of nature that its tranmissions ever reached poor,very rural NW Ireland...something to do with the atmosphere I think...but Da used to blame it on that "feckin sputnik" Nonetheless... my family possessed a radio that required a combination of both a wet cell, and a dry cell battery...but it worked! We lived next door to a popular pub at the time...and both my younger brother were obliged to sprint next door to that pub to announce whenever a 'Bridie' song was about to be played! Whatever the weather... there would be a stampede from the pub to our front door...and I will never forget the massed voices of decent, poor Irish farmers soaring to the heavens as they joined Bridie in lustily (out of tune)bellowing 'the boys from the County Armagh' 'The homes of Donegal' etc. I have unashamed tears in my eyes now...but i will bring those happy memories to the grave with me.

I'm English and I love this lady. Especially when she sings, the green glens of Antrim. AND she has a real similar voice to Gracie Fields, God Bless old Bridie.

this was my aunties last song sung half hour before death she was so nice and kind rip Bridget 'bernie' xxxxxxx

My dad loved this song. Happy memories. As an exile myself and getting older I now fully the pain and joy that a simple song can bring.
