Title: Down By The Sally Gardens Post by: jms on March 24, 2008, 04:19PM Hi- I downloaded Orlagh's "Down by the Sally Gardens" from Itunes. By far one of Orlagh's best songs I've ever heard even though it's not on any of the CW albums. Definitely lot's of Irish heart and soul in this song.

Down by the Sally Gardens is a great song that I grew up with.... made all the better with Órlagh's beautiful voice singing it. If you look on Itunes, you will find her Water is Wide solo cd which has other traditional Irish songs on it. Happy listening, and look forward to chatting with you!!! Title: Re: Down By The Sally Gardens Post by: Siobhan on March 24, 2008, 07:30PM I love the song Down by the Salley Gardens. It's the first song I learned to play with both hands on the harp, and ironically, the only song that Orlagh doesn't play harp on for her album. I still love her version though, as well as the tune itself. ;)

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Erin I went back to Itunes and purchased "The Water is Wide" single. What a beautiful song. Reminiscent to Sally Gardens in many ways but still it's own song. Thanks for the recommendation. JMS Title: Re: Down By The Sally Gardens Post by: Celtic Liz on March 25, 2008, 07:14PM I think that this song is really good and also I like to hear Orla sing

Down By the Sally Gardens is a beautiful song and Orlagh's rendition of it is nothing short of haunting. Just Orlagh's beautiful voice and a simple orchestration. Zee Title: Re: Down By The Sally Gardens Post by: Angie on May 20, 2008, 07:48PM Ii grew up in England, and learned this TRADITIONAL song in school. I was thrilled to hear Orlagh sing it - it TOOK ME BACK !!! Angie Larsen, Ca.
Welcome to the forum, jms!!! I certainly agree with you!! :) Title: Re: Down By The Sally Gardens Post by: binti on May 29, 2008, 06:44PM I was listening to Orlagh's CD today and love how she presents each of the songs. Her voice is so lovely and each song sung with such emotion. Can't wait for her new CD to come out.
Title: Re: Down By The Sally Gardens Post by: Starman on June 02, 2008, 04:33PM She really charms you, doesn't she? I'm afraid we're hooked in large numbers at this point! When her new CD comes out (hopefully very soon), let's not make her wait long to show her how much we like it! ;D ;D
Title: Re: Down By The Sally Gardens Post by: binti on June 02, 2008, 06:43PM I'm not waiting a minute longer than I have to....I'll be ready to order as soon as it's available. I hope the others are also working on their new CDs.
Title: Re: Down By The Sally Gardens Post by: Sheila in Oz on June 02, 2008, 09:16PM I adore this song too, and Orlagh does a stunning job of singing it. I'd almost forgotten about this song until my daughter Siobhan started learning it on harp a couple of weeks ago. She will be singing it tonight at a School Music Soiree and accompanying herself with harp. She's a little nervous because she's only had 6 lessons so far - so fingers crossed!
