The kings of Connaught - McAlpine's Fusiliers

[@patrickmacsweeney9727]

AS a die-hard fan of the greatest balladeer who graced this earth, Luke Kelly, I have to say that your man here is a vocalist as good as the finest himself. No greater accolade can ever be bestowed upon a mortal. Absolutely love this, I close my eyes and rewind some 40 years.

[@patrickmacsweeney9727]

Just to add... I believe Traditional Irish music is in safe hands with you lads. All the greats are now gone - Lukey, Barney, Ronnie, Ciaran, the Clancy brothers. Without you, we'd be left with choreographed crap like the High Kings.

[@MrAwsomeshot]

Dont forget Tommy Makem! Paddy Riley is still alive but he is aging quickly.

[@markashdown2368]

Great comment and the lads have a good future all the best .

[@jasonhendry8136]

You've hit the nail on the head RIP Luke Kelly

[@newfieshamrock7621]

A newfie lad here in Canada listening to these guys..and i think luke kelly is alive and well..this guy sousnds remarkably so like luke himself. Slan go foille

[@72mossy]

Great to see the younger generation singing these songs, great performance by the lads. My dad work in Cricklewood in the 60s, he went to London after been in the Congo.

[@threezerol944t]

I'm an American of mostly Scottish, and Irish, descent. I was raised by my Grandmother Ervin who was born in 1912. She was from Kentucky, and raised me on bluegrass. Irish folk music reminds of bluegrass, and my grandmother. The roots of bluegrass are here, and alive and well thanks to lads like these. Unbroken chain. Slainte kindred.

[@bernardtrench2298]

Luke Kelly is back just in a new generation👌👌

[@sourneylinnane8235]

Oh yeah

[@stephaneveron764]

yes luke kelly and Ronnie Drew best of voice!!

[@jamesobrien4341]

serious, and best young natural ballad voice I've heard on here or live, this is the arrangement style bar none. well done and delighted I've come across ye

[@margaretsmyth6783]

Great to see our younger generation carry’ing on traditional music. Well done lads,

[@ronaldmcdonald6257]

I know right

[@bydabay107]

That is not the voice I expected, I gotta say, WOW, Simply amazing!! I don't like to compare singers because if ya do, there's someone who won't agree and jump all over the comments. I will say this........................other than the Dubliners Ronnie Drew and Luke Kelly, this is the best or closest to them singing that I've heard this song being played or sang. Great band lads and I hope you keep it going. Everything gets better with age :) Thanks for keeping traditional music alive and well

[@jasonhendry8136]

I don't think anybody can really argue against your comment tbh, hit the nail on the head

[@charlesowens9739]

Simply amazing!! Great job guys, one of my favorite Dubliners tunes. They never did a better version than this one.

[@scrappy1859]

[@niamhward9207]

Great bunch of musicians for such young lads. Saw them live in Galway lately and was really impressed. Watch this space:

[@humanityfirstnow]

An excellent rendition lads . Respect from a Liverpool man of advancing years.

[@derMagicOpi]

It's been almost seven years. Please Guys! Make a propper Version of this song. It's one of my favorite Songs and I always listen tot the Dubliner's version when I have to work all alone at the basmaent in Friday evenings when everybody else has left. It wold be such a plesure blasting your song throgh the hallways, all alone in the factory.
