The song is, I believe "CARRICKFERGUS",
on the album "Irish Heartbeat". Song by
Van Morrison, accompanied by The Chieftains.

What is the name of the sung sung by a young man, I believe he may be wearing a heavy sweater and is in either a pub or a hotel. very traditional, haunting song. I may have the wrong movie.

All together I have counted 37 specific pieces of music throughout the film. This includes the 2 songs run during the credits. Irish Heartbeat by Van Morrison and my personal favorite piece in the movie, For lack of a name I’m calling it “The Matchmaker Theme” by John Altman. I’m taking this liberty because I have yet to find out what it is called and to even confirm that the piece is a work of John Altman. John was given Opening movie credits for “Original Music By – John Altman” John has many other films to his credit and is much like John Williams is his successes over the years. If I manage to contact John or anyone else with info about these few pieces of music that are sprinkled throughout the film I will revisit this document.
for my exhaustive search of music in “The Macthmaker”

Mark Knopfler sang a version of Raglan Road on one of Donal Lunny's music series, I think it might have been an episode of East Meets West. Heartwarming! He accompanied himself on an accoustic guitar. Well done, Mark!

Amalia~ The song from the hotel scene is called "Haunted." Shane MacGowan and Sinead O'Connor are the recording artists. It is a great song!
