Subject: RE: Specsavers Ad: Mo Ghile Mear: Singer? From: GUEST,morrisbrendon Date: 17 Jul 10 - 04:18 PM For the question above about pronounciation, this is how it sounds in the Munster dialect; Mo Ghile Meár |
Subject: RE: Specsavers Ad: Mo Ghile Mear: Singer? From: Tootler Date: 15 Jul 10 - 07:00 PM It's a gross insult to elderly people with failing eyesight, Scots or not. I think the ad is immoral. |
Subject: RE: Specsavers Ad: Mo Ghile Mear: Singer? From: GUEST,music lover Date: 15 Jul 10 - 12:05 PM It's an insult to the dog, the sheep and all Scots, whether Gaelic speaking or not. If I had ever thought of going to Specsavers this would be enough to put me off. |

Subject: RE: Specsavers Ad: Mo Ghile Mear: Singer? From: Mr Happy Date: 22 Apr 08 - 04:04 AM In this version & others on Ytube, I hear it sung as 'My geela mare' Is this the correct pronunciation? |
Subject: RE: Specsavers Ad: Mo Ghile Mear: Singer? From: GUEST, Sminky Date: 07 Mar 08 - 06:41 AM Managed to answer my own question - Una Palliser: Specsavers Ad. This Internet thingy is jolly useful, but it'll never catch on. |
Subject: RE: Specsavers Ad: Mo Ghile Mear: Singer? From: GUEST, Sminky Date: 07 Mar 08 - 06:36 AM Thanks Bonnie Shaljean - no, I've heard Mary's version - definitely not hers. |
Subject: RE: Specsavers Ad: Mo Ghile Mear: Singer? From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 07 Mar 08 - 06:28 AM Haven't seen the ad yet (is it an insult to sheep??!!) ;-D but Mary Black did a lovely version of it on an early recording. Perhaps it's hers? |
Subject: Specsavers Ad: Mo Ghile Mear: Singer? From: GUEST, Sminky Date: 07 Mar 08 - 06:24 AM A current TV advert (UK) for Specsavers, depicts a quaint sheep farming scene (for reasons best known to the marketing people). The background music is a rather lovely version of 'Mo Ghile Mear'. I was wondering if anyone knew the singer. It sounds Maggie Boyle-ish, but I'm quite happy to be proved wrong. |
