Paddy Keenan and Daoiri Farrell Perform Liam Weldon's song"The Blue Tar Road". HD

This song was written by Liam Weldon about the Eviction of traveller families from a site in Cherry Orchard. The eviction took place in 1959 and inspired Liam to write the song. Liam recorded the song on his album "Dark Horse on the Wind" in 1976. Here, the song is performed by Daoiri Farrell and renowned Uilleann Piper Paddy Keenan at a TPI Conference that took place in Dublin Castle on 20th October 2017. A massive thanks to Mick Ruane and Anne Costello for allowing me to make the video available.
