Clancy Brothers and The Dubliners, Late Late Show

[@ScottInVa1760]

Some folks have a special charisma, and Ronnie is one of them. What a great icon of Irishness. May Ronnie's music be pleasing to God and the angels! RIP Ronnie.

[@avisBoyle-y9g]

Ronnie had a voice like no one else just amazing

[@gregsanders9585]

As did Luke Kelly

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

All those boys The Clancy Brothers and their dear 1st cousin Tommy Makem along with the Dubliners were in a class of their own, they were flipping brilliant storytellers, historians, teachers, advisers, musicians, they were all born to play and tell the stories of Ireland and other lands from all over this world.

[@avisBoyle-y9g]

Your right just brilliant

Ronnie what a man to tell a story he was class and he is missed sorely by everyone who ever heard that wonderful voice of his

Clancy Brothers and The Dubliners are the best Irish singers for ever !!!! It's make me Always happy. They are unknown in France, but me I know them, and every morning , in my bathroom, they sing for me😜

I feel blessed as a 49 year old to have grown up weened on the teat of Clancy brothers and Dubliners music. I’m probably the youngest of those who did. I’m not even Irish. But my mum loved the fiddle and there was only so much American folk with good fiddle work. Ahh. Nice memories. Thanks for the vid.

thanks for that brilliant too much still images with music on you tube of the dubliners great to see exactly what i was looking for

[@JohnDoyle-wt1ec]

Humour and song are great medicine

[@michaeldineen8324]

This is mighty. Gay Byrne had great respect for our native music and song. Purists owe him a hell of a debt. These programmes are badly needed these days. I wonder' will we ever again have groups like The Clancy's and The Dubliners.?

[@johnoconnor4623]

I hope so. Heard Liam's son recently on radio singing Roddie McCorley, and I had to listen twice to figure that it was not Liam, but his son Donal Clancy. He is a great young man who does lovely shows of his dad's music. So in a way his dad'd music is alive.

[@michaeldineen8324]

John O'Connor it would be nice if the tradition was carried on. I would hate to see ballads and rebel songs die. sadly, this music is rarely heard on local radio these days. the media have decided that these songs are not trendy enough. there is plenty of traditional music around, but ballads and rebel songs could be in danger. it seems that no one wants to sing these songs anymore. let's hope that someone will preserve them.

[@michaeldineen8324]

I certainly hope' we might have someone to carry the flag for this music. Patsy Watchorn' Johnny Mc'Evoy' Paddy Reilly' and Sean Cannon are still singing. Let's hope' they will leave some important legacy.

[@glen7318]

I dont remember Gay being an Irish music fan when I was a kid, he said he loved Jazz

[@michaeldineen8324]

Glen He moved between our native music' and jazz. in fact this clip from the first music style I mentioned' tells us he knew his music. You can tell' he means everything he says. He presented another great show sometime in the 90's with the basic name of The Gay Byrne Music Show. All styles' were given a chance. do you remember that show.?

[@tungstenkid2271]

The Dubliners became a much-loved household name here in England, especially after their smash hit Seven Drunken Nights, but we'd hardly heard of Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers more's the pity, probably because they were based in the USA and Ireland and never gigged in England as far as I know.

[@tungstenkid2271]

mary jane Prouty - I've only been abroad once in my life, to Paris in 1975 but was glad to get back to England and tuck into english roast beef and chips..:)

[@tungstenkid2271]

mary jane Prouty - in 1958 aged 10 on a school trip to London our teachers took us into the snooty Lyons Corner House for a meal but the chips were cold and soggy. I learnt from that example that posh people looked down on us ordinary english. That's how it's always been, for example in Victorian times things were pretty grim for ordinary folks while the upper classes didn't care and were invading places like Ireland to line their pockets.. So when I hear some Irish saying "we hate the english", that's not really fair on the ordinary english who suffered at the hands of the toffs just as much.. PS- an IRA bomb went off in Leicester (England) in 1990, it rattled our windows 2 miles away and woke up our cat but miraculously nobody was hurt. Beats me what our cat had done to upset the Irish?..;)

[@tungstenkid2271]

mary jane Prouty - yes I've been exploring the Irish landscape and mountains in Google Earth streetview, and they blow my socks off, there's a mountain in Donegal called Errigal that looks like a mini-Everest.

[@bighands69]

+Tungsten Kid I left the UK for the US over 20 years ago and I still have the odd pang of regret but when have a deep think about it I am not sure I could go back to modern liberal Britain. The PC brigade that Monty Python used to joke about are now in charge of the country.

[@tungstenkid2271]

[@andrewandronicou4280]

[@dhamiltonsherman1381]

I used to sing this with a group of male friends, for which the other women in the group HATED me! I didn't understand their rage until I became a mother myself. In my defense, I only found the song funny at the time, because being so young I didn't understand the world really can be this evil. So it seemed preposterous and therefore funny. Also, we had an added last verse, the last line of which I delivered using my best (very bad) Boris Karloff impression. We pronounced this in a more 'Long John Silver' type of accent. "The moral of the story is, Weela, weela, WY-oh, Don't stick knives in Babby's 'eads!, Down by the River si-yo."
