I quite like that "Brown Eyes" cover by The Pyles.

And hey! Saltlake Whalefishers! Those are the guys (or guy) that has been collaborating with IrishRover!

And it's absolutely amazing how many really terrible covers of FToNY there are. The mind just boggles.

Was not really susprised at the amount of bad FTONY , but the number of woeful covers of Love You Till The End was a shock.
Seems like every love lost soul wants to cover it and cover it badly.

Thanks for that Roddy, an impressive list. But very much what I thought to be the case, with " Streams...", " Brown eyes..", " Fairytale.. " being the most widely covered. " Sunny side of the street " has been done, so that's one anyway and while Christy may not have recorded " Summer in Siam " he certainly used to do it live.

Since we're on the subject, "Thousands Are Sailing" has had something like eight covers and 'Lorelei" has had at least one, but possibly two.

I haven't heard it but a group called Isis do a cover of " Streets of sorrow ". They just do Terry's part of the medley and not Shane's " Birmingham six " though. And there is some Mexican group who do a great " Pistol for Paddy Garcia " but I can't think of their name.
