Скачать или смотреть Patrick Sheehan |The Glen of Aherlow | Harrowing Irish Ballad of Loss, Hardship War & Blindness

My name is Patrick Sheehan, and my years are thirty-four...”

This powerful Irish ballad tells the heartbreaking true story of Patrick Sheehan, a young man from Tipperary who was left blind and broken after serving in the British Army during the Siege of Sebastopol in 1854. Once a proud son of the Glen of Aherlow, Sheehan ends up begging on the streets of Dublin — a chilling symbol of Ireland’s forgotten soldiers and the brutal cost of empire.

This new version of "The Glen of Aherlow" is a stripped-back, emotionally raw acoustic performance, paired with cinematic painterly visuals that follow each line of the song. Set against the famine years, forced evictions, and British military campaigns, this ballad is both a personal tragedy and a national lament.

This is not just a song — it’s a journey through war, betrayal, hardship and the strength of the Irish spirit.
