Listening Irish folk songs, I'm so surprised how much I can understand those feelings in the lyrics. Especially, I almost burst in tears when I listen "The fields of athenry". Because It's the very story of my grandparents... So many years of agony yet Irish people never gave up the eager for the independence, they fought, they struggled, finally they got what they longed for... As a Korean, the country where once was colonized by Japanese empire, have a sympathy for Irish people. Japanese took my grandfather to Osaka and forced him to labor at the aircraft factory in very end of ww2 era. Many of Korean elders have these experience. He used to tell the story with full of anger, always ends up how lucky you youngsters are living in the independent nation. I'm actually surprised how similar the feelings are between those of Irish and Korean. I can't stop listening Irish folk song nowadays plus I bought a tin whistle!

I'd love to watch more like this for the other Irish towns and cities. Scotland too

Rare old times..

[@erinmavournin]

Indeed rare old times, I am happy to have known Dublin how it was in the seventies, though the song with that title recalls earlier times.

Dubliners put the irish folk on the world map and conquered for many years, the Irish dubliners of the old time, and I'm proud to say that they will always have my respect and a place with me... many yearn for the old times , simple times, but when i play the Dubliners, the music hits you and takes you back to those good old days, long live the DUBLINERS in all of us..

Back in the days when you could walk alone across the Ha’penny bridge. They’d have to film that at 4am nowadays.

it was more dangerous to cross the Ha'penny Bridge in 1988 than now
