The Welcome song

I have fallen in love with a song I heard before I went to Ireland last year. Its called The Welcoming Song by Tony Small. I have been unable to purchase this song. Its not on itunes and I can’t seem to find it anywhere. I even looked at music shops when I went to Ireland. Still no luck. Does anyone know of the song and where I might be able to get it??

I am assuming that this is it It is called " The Welcome" I still could not find it on iTunes as a stand alone song but could find other songs by searching by Tony Small. If you google " The Welcome' by Tony Small you will also find it played as a tribute as Tony Small passed away in 2013.
I was able to find it on an album called Music of Dingle https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-music-of-dingle-mw0002418823

Also cannot find it on iTunes but am assuming that music shops in Dingle or surrounding area would be able to help

Good luck!

Thank u Sharon, I had seen the youtube version, but wanted to get it as a CD or digital file. I even emailed the music shop in Dingle, but have gotten no reply. The search continues........

I was able to find the late Tony Small's version of "The Welcome" on a wonderful multi-artist CD titled the Music of Dingle. Should be available online or on itunes.

Tommy O'Sullivan (from Dingle) also has a great version on his "Song Ablaze" CD. I can't recall where I got Tommy's CD but I'm glad I did. I think Tommy does background vocals on Tony Small's version.

I agree that "The Welcome" is a great song.

I'm heading to Killarney on Tuesday for Toastmasters so will pop in to the great music store there that sells zillions of cd's and instruments. I'll see if they have it!!

Susan, thank you soooo much! If you find it, let me know!
Also, if they don't have it, ask them where I might be able to find it when I go there this summer.
