“Léim Thart” le Des Bishop ag canadh ag Oireachtas na Samhna 2007 i gCathair na Mart. It’ll be on RTE 1 tonight on “In the Name of the Fada” at 10:15pm if you want to catch a probably better version. I can barely make out any of the song in any of the Youtube videos of his performances I watched this morning!
Fair dues to him for taking on the Irish language. Takes a foreigner to show the Irish how to make it popular! 🙂

Any lyrics as gaeilge?
Just watched “In the name of the fada” and really enjoyed it. There’s a good quality mp3 of Leim Thart for download on Des Bishop’s website!
Got the tv programme series linked on Sky+ so I won’t miss any future episodes.
