[@dublincitytoday]

You can find much more from Leila Jane in the playlist section of the channel, you can also find her links in the description of her videos. Appreciate your support, peace and love from Dublin City... 💚☘️🎵🕺🎶💃🎵☘️💚🇮🇪

Funny thing. It was written in 1949 by an Englishman. About an English city called Salford. Written to 'fill in' two parts of a play. Released initially in 1952. So really has nothing to do with Irish history. But if it works for you then carry on. Enjoy

[@dublincitytoday]

@@kenmarriott6816 yes I'm aware of that. I generally don't give the history of a song in the title of a video. Nobody said it has anything to do with Irish history.

Incredibly beautiful...top class👌 Why is this young fantastic female artist so underrated, I can't understand and can't believe... she should represent Ireland on ESC, cause she's the best...she's so unique...keep going adorable Leila🙏❤❤❤

It's an absolute age since I last heard that song, so thanks Leila Jane for reviving it. Evokes the industrial landscape of my youth when the gasworks distilled coal into coal gas (mostly hydrogen and carbon monoxide). Beautifully sung Leila Jane!

[@nicholasstaddon]

Great performance from Leila Jane. She nailed this with her amazing vibrato voice. Thanks for posting Sean.

[@marthaholcomb8148]

Leila Jane I love your voice! Your voice stands out, so if they didn't show your face I would still know who it is. Beautiful voice!

[@stefanliesenfeld7752]

a classic ballad resounds in the streets of this ancient city, beautifully performed by a young talent...happy Dublin...thank you Leila Jane

[@holgerstegat1115]

I agree with your assessment, but the song is about Derry, or Londonderry as it is marked on some maps... Keep it up, mate! Best wishes, Holger

[@davidpryle3935]

The song is actually about Salford (greater Manchester), written by Ewan McCall, about his hometown.

[@catfishcave379]

Always an honor and a privilege to listen to you perform. I’m waiting for the day when the Chieftains ask you to perform a song with them.

[@nelsonesteves3713]

Que lindo cantante de la calle.

[@mawrthvallis2788]

Leave it to Leila to remind us of the roots of good old guitar based story telling. Wonderfully executed.

[@kentherapy7022]

It sounds a like from vinyl plate......Hats of, Leila.....😎

[@mikemcdonald4501]

Another Leila Jane performance I find myself rewatching on successive days. Simply marvelous.

[@speakertreatz]

I saw Leila Jane perform this in Grafton St last Monday, fantastic and a huge crowd around her loving it. One thing I love about it myself is she's based her vocal on the Luke Kelly version, not Shanes. The Pogues version is great but Luke's phrasing and little touches all the way through still make his the definitive vocal.

[@holgerstegat1115]

I've heard this song a thousand times, and I've used it in lectures and seminars about Irish history and the NI conflict, but Leila Jane's version is really outstanding because her beautiful voice and its vibrato make it special! Thank you so much!

[@DesmoDreams]

Why on earth would you do that? Dirty Ol Town was written by a Scotsman about Salford - a town in England. You might as well play your students Words by Boyzone! 😂

[@wonderland1985]

Irish history? It’s about Salford!

[@backgardenbusker7206]

Exactly, Ewan MacColl wrote it and reĺeased it as a single in 1952, the gasworks croft has long gone and the location was not far from where the BBC studios now stand.
