WATCH: Galway footballer performs spine-tingling version of Luke Kelly song

Alan Loughnane

The silence of the onlookers is deafening…

Winning a match is always cause for celebration, and what better way to do than with a few cans and a singalong on the bus ride home from the game.

Monivea Abbey GAA club took on the Aran Islands in the Galway Division 3 Football League at the weekend with Monivea running out 5-10 to 1-16 winners.

On the boat ride home from Inis Mór, Monivea decided to break up the monotony of the journey with a little sing-song and Paul Flaherty took up the mantle.

We don’t think anyone expected what happened next…

Paul left basically everyone in shock when he performed a stirring version of Luke Kelly’s instantly recognisable song, The Night Visiting Song.

He must be a man of many talents as last year he won an All-Ireland Intermediate huring title with Galway while also starring with his hurling club Abbeyknockmoy as they reached the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Final.
