You can almost see Ronnie's soul through those big blue eyes, and he truly sang from the soul!!

[@spat06]

You can

[@tjhamerica]

@@spat06 He must be thinking he can’t do justice to a song that Luke Kelly sang, but this is a great version!

[@gregpenrosefarming1404]

[@rena388]

his soul, yes .. but light green most beautiful irish eyes, i would say

[@niallirish6975]

[@scopes487]

You can tell he put his heart and soul into this for the Late Legend Luke Kelly... Both brought the dubliners to my generation and I salute you both

[@gsummy4062]

Irish music owes him so much. What a voice.

[@HNL_Project]

Ronnie Drew sang so beautifully ,and he and Luke gave 110% to every song they sang . So sad they both died so young ,Rest in Peace Ronnie, You're gone but not forever ... immortalised in the eyes of the World ...

[@SirAntoniousBlock]

_'What's lost is gone and gone forever'._ My dear ma brought me up on the Dubliners, they played "Rare old times" at her funeral.

[@crujones4046]

Their physical bodies are gone but the memories and music will never be gone forever. R.I.P. have a good day.

[@zoltanszlavik9838]

This isnt a version. This is it.

[@wielkadupa]

don't even know why, but this one and Donegal Danny always makes me cry, always.

[@damien1351]

Beautiful song but sure is emotional.

[@johnpaulmccormack4797]

2 of his finest songs 💚

[@rainerfrey]

Ronnie had a beautiful voice. Sure, deep and rough, but also melodious to carry a ballad like this. And I love Barney on the banjo here. His playing never claimed the spotlight, yet it would not be the same without.

[@fedegroxo]

Love Barney, whenever the camera pans over to him he is sitting there with that smile of his, happily striking away at the strings, oblivious to all but the song.

[@Marc443]

And without John‘s brilliant fiddle as well not possible. Makes it so unique.

[@stevedaly3634]

My grandfather was a Derry man he would always sing to us when we were kids this version by Ronnie beautiful sung with passion

[@marilynnoll541]

How beautiful for you and the others.

[@ikeyschultz4969]

Ronnie was one of the greatest vocalists ever. As an American who treasures Johnnie Cash, I rate Ronnie above him. Whiskey, nicotine, and time poured over peat and gravel. That’s the one of kind beautiful voice he was blessed with.

[@margaretohara7250]

Beautiful and sad. Very handsome man - could be in movies or perhaps he was. Pandemic is allowing me time to find beautiful music. More music needed now in our uncertain times. There is LIGHT - elderly in Ireland always said so and they lived through real hard times. Slainte Mairead USA

[@isabellbyrne5528]

Love this song who,s listening 2/3/2021 Dubliners are the best happy days from Ireland up the Dubs xxx

[@LionsDenAudioTheatre]

There's never going to another group quite like them.

[@hazzachannel1]

I THINK AS I HEARD RONNIE SING, I HEARD THE HEART OF THE REAL PEOPLE, THE ONES WHO HAD TO LIVE THROUGH THAT AWFUL TIME. I'VE NO VISITED DERRY, BUT I SEEN BELFAST, AND PRAY THE PEACE REMAINS. RONNIE POURED HIS HEART IN THAT PHIL COULTER SONG.

[@Squiffilect]

I love this song so well. Ronnie is a true legend. The Dubliners... What an amazing bunch. From the first members to the last. So many gone, but never forgotten. Listen to that banjo sing.

[@TommyGriffiths-t4h]

I m from that town,now a city,best version of Phil Coulter's song ever...

[@flytrap66]

Dear Dubliners, thanks for all!!!

[@dannylillie3428]

Ronnie drew what a legend 🙌 👏 ❤

[@jesperth.petersen8386]

This has been my favorite Dubliner song since the first time I heard it back in the 1970’ties. I don’t know any other song that describes what’s going on, the way this song does.

[@mathewmcintyre5379]

They don't make them like that anymore Ironically sobering! 👌

[@CDev2184]

God rest him. True son of Ireland

[@stevosd60]

Amazing ... The audience are spellbound.. as if he was singing to just one person. Absolute magic ❣️

[@rayferg4996]

Love it. I usually associate this song with Luke but Ronnie does it justice too!

[@stevedaly3634]

Great song sung by a great man a legend

[@beverleybutler7685]

Aww Ronnie what a legend! 🤗

[@fitzeralpha3013]

It's import always to remember who we are and what makes us so unique in the world. Don't let it be diluted with this new diversity and multiculturalism. We fought for what we have. Some emergrated not all. This is a small island. Let others fight for their land.

[@rogeriorocha6136]

This absolutely beats the assembly line music that is put out today. Regardless of the genre, it's hard to tell one band from another.

[@geraldneary5758]

Most of the pop music today is gay. Thats why we love this kind of music.

[@nightmareeyes7256]

I bought tickets to a Dubliners concert for me and my grandad in 2019 but quarantine kept getting it pushed back, we should have been there over a year ago so I’m listening to almost all their songs until we can finally go

[@RauMichael]

Do you mean the Dublin Legends? Because the Dubliners are no more since 2012. The Dublin Legends are still great, had a good time seeing them myself.
