Could someone please tell me the name of an artist that sings the fields of athenry, whiskey in the jar etc etc .... that is a faster verion of the songs not dance music,but music like a band would play in the pub, thanks
I think the guy who first had a 'hit' with The Fields of Athenry was Paddy Reilly....
Best ever version of Whiskey in the Jar...Thin Lizzy....no longer around
(Phil Lynott was one of the best)
To be honest if you happen upon a session where either of these are being sung....I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much.

I suppose you could do a search on YouTube, you might be lucky.
Phil Lynnot didn't write Whiskey In The Jar, it is a traditional song. But his version is great.

Seeing as phil lynott and thin lizzy wrote whiskey in the jar, its obviously that version which is the best. any munster supporter too will give you the best version of the fields.
