Not included in this video are the banter of the Lynch brothers and the cheers and applause in between the songs.
The full Tolhuistuin concert was blocked on the Jizo Zone YT-channel (after 26.741 views)
because of copyright for The Wild Rover. So that song is deleted here.
And of course, I do not own the rights to any of these fantastic songs.

That droney interlude in "young people" always hits the spot.🙂

[danielcoy]

Your sound is incredible. I’ve going down a wormhole of Lankum videos.

[astis]

I cannot wait for Roadburn next year to witness this myself :D

[sushij.r.]

[seimiquinn]

[strumbadstroller]

The Pride of epic version, love it. Actually, I Love this band!

[luckyhorse]

I played in a session with these musicians donkeys years ago in Drogheda shortly before they became a group. Believe me they are well able to play (pure) Irish trad if they want.

Unfortunately had to miss their recent Manchester gig through illness but pray that I will be able catch them next time around. Traditional Irish music meets The Velvet Underground. This is as good as music gets

[paddy_mulcahy]

putting the "We Work the Black Seam" lyrics into "Pride..." was genius.

[tomfox]

I return again and gain to Hunting the Wren. Today it reminded me of early encounters with the music of The Velvet Underground. so very long ago. Is that so strange?

[HerFatherDidntLikeMe]

Beautifully recorded. Thanks for sharing. Is that the concert from April 28th this year?

[paulkinsella]

Good stuff! Different and good! Really like their last album, false Lankum. Hope to see them sometime. 👍🙂

[winkiesinclair]

Is there a specific name for the hand organ Radie is using on the floor?

How bad musicians try to hide their unabilities to play properly traditionnal irish intruments by a supposed experimental approach...let time work and I bet they will reach quickly their own limits. Lankum irish music for whom does not try by lack of time or courage to listen a better Irish Music. Une musique pour "bobos" So funny !!!
