The Newry Highwayman performed by Áit Ait at the Parkway Theater, Minneapolis, 2024.
Everyone loves a noble thief and outlaw, and that’s what we get in The Newry Highwayman, a song from the genre known as “goodnight” ballads, which inevitably end in the gallows. In this example, our hero lives fast, dies young, and was a wild and wicked youth. “I never robbed a poor man yet, nor trusty tradesman caused I to fret / But I robbed lords and ladies bright, and brought their jewels home, brought their jewels home to my heart’s delight”. Off of our 2023 CD Beneath the Cold Silent Dew. It can be found at https://aitait.bandcamp.com/ and on all major streaming platforms.
