Don't think I've seen mention of Faithful Departed, a fantastic cover made a classic  by Christy.

There is a fantastic rabbit hole to go down with the writer Philip Chevron and his music career, an unbelievable interpretation to take a semi punk tune into an acoustic classic.

I'm sure I've posted on this thread before, and I'd probably have posted a different 3 if I did, but for today I'll go with:
1. Sail on Jimmy
2. The craic was 90 in the Isle of Man
3. Little Musgrave
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

A Pair of Brown Eyes (the version with Cathal Hayden on fiddle)

Smoke an Strong Whiskey (Live in Dublin 2006)

Nancy Spain (Live at the Point)

An incredible musician and story teller that it has been a privilege to grow up and listen to. History I wouldn't have known only for songs like Duffy's Cut or Hattie Carrol. As well as the funny stuff like Joxer, Weekend in Amsterdam or 50 other songs he sang like that. Ballads, humour, trad, protest, he has it all and I'll happily listen to him for the rest of my life and not be tired listening to anything he sings.
