- From the video titled "The Dubliners' Dublin" which is like a documentary with Ronnie taking viewers on a tour of his favourite watering holes, and meeting up with the lads for a few songs.
The song "Dublin In The Rare Old Times" was written by Pete St. John, who also wrote "Fields Of Athenry".

It's something special when you can make a man homesick for a place he's never even visited. What a fantastic performance.
That was nicely put
@@mikeyates7931 I appreciate that. Thank you.
@@bwrpwr You're very welcome , my friend
I'm thankful to go to Ireland, I got invited by family.
That made so much sense it's unbelievable. My family was from Cork and now have passed away but I'm going to Ireland in honour of my family. I need to be where they were. It's something I have to do. Thanks for speaking from the heart. Slainte
My grandfather is the fiddle player John sheahan in the Dubliners I love there music so much
One of the greatest fiddlers ever!
Is he still alive.?
John Sheehan is alive and kicking. mid 80s an irish legend all class. the last original Dub still alive. i think he still performs.
Thank god for your grandfather Darragh, a beautiful human being, you must be very proud.
Great fiddle, great character your grandfather, god bless him and all these musicians that made history
The world is a smaller place without Ronnie Drew and the Dubliners.
We played this at my father's funeral. He was from Crumlin and passed away 6 years ago. I can see him clearly when I listen to this. R.I.P dad.
All my family came from crumlin dolphins barn I used to swim in the canal there when we went back to Dublin on summer holidays my mum came from Rutland avenue and my dad from caschel road I was born in the coombe hospital
@gerardwhite2689 my father lived opposite the GUINNESS BOWLING GREEN 👍👍👍
Bless you and your family
@@jredmondscaff thank you. And the same to you and your family. Be safe 🙏
You wouldn't fucking believe how I love this song been an Irish born mancunian,reminds me of all the past generation
"The years have made me bitter, the gargle dims me brain... cause Dublin keeps on changing, and nothing seems the same"
Man. This song gets more relevant and depressing with age.
I'm Czech and I love Irish and Celtic music Luke, Dubliners and Shane MacGowan are immortal
Sinéad o'Connor too
When you get to a certain age , no matter where you're from , this song resonates deeply with you
@@ciaraann6377I would have loved to have met him
Ronnie drew will never be forgotten. He will live forever in our hearts.
Look at Dublin now ☘
American here with Irish heritage and as long as I'm still kicking Luke Kelly & The Dubliners, and Shane MacGowan and the Pogues will never be forgotten long!
No-one could sing this better than Ronnie.
I visited Ireland 49 times, Corona delayed the 50th visit. I love this country and the people. I have numerous incredibly good friends there. In The Rare Auld Times is my favourite song.
Sendin love an luck from Ireland Dublin 🇮🇪🍀🍻have bless weekend every one out there that will see this today x
As an irish person, im proud to be apart of thid culture!
My great grandmothers funeral was today she was from dublin and moved to England in the early 60’s. I was one of the ones carrying her coffin and walking out of the church with her on my shoulders this was playing and it broke me. Music is something that really plays with your emotions. Rip nanny 💚🤍🧡
Go strong brother 💚
❤️🔥🙏🏼
God bless hir
Hope you’re doing well today. The never fully leave, our loved ones, they live on in and through us in what we do and say and how we show how they loved us by living love.
I can relate to that.my mum went live in london in the 60s aswell an died in march just gone so 1 of her last wishes was to scatter her ashes in the RIVER LIFFY back to heart of of Dublin were she belongs.i missd my mum funeral cause of covid among other things i couldnt get to london.but in march her 1st anniversery were goin to scatter her ashes were she wanted...miss my mum so much ,im so so sorry aboutbur mother my thoughts are with u xxx
The Irish songs probably are the best ones in the world.
Agreed. My Dad sang them when I was a child. He died young but the love of Irish music stayed with me for life.
I have heard Ronnie Drew's voice described as the sound of a coal shovel scraping on a cement floor. And for some reason, that voice resonates with the hearts of common men across the world, and is loved by them. it sure suits me ! ! !
+tom jackson very good definition.Love his voice.
+tom jackson bang on comment
It's a voice that advertises "there's a life behind me, with ups and down, and I am still here", a rather honest tone to many people... and a proud one, too.
tom jackson its far smoother and sweeter than that. More like the soft rattle of pea gravel in a burlap sack
Luke Kelly said that, another great talent we lost too early.
Just losted my father to a long battle with cancer, he was also my best friend, he had a very gentle soul and was very well liked, this was his favourite song and it was played as we took him from the chapel, rest well my dad/friend, the pain is now over. Love you forever.
May he rest in eternal peace and happiness ❤️
Sorry for your loss
Death is not the end..
Job 14:14,15….Isaiah 25:8….
John 5:28,29…Revelation 21:4,5.
I'm a 68 year old Englishman, but when I hear a song by Ronnie or see a pic of Ronnie it brings a tear to the corner of my eye, him and the lads were true entertainers in the whole sense of the word, R.I.P. Ronnie Drew!
I am a 27 year old girl, yet I feel the same. I wish I could see Ronnie and the rest of the Dubliners perform.
+Jmanultra by the way what age are you 12?
I am in total agreement with you. I travelled all over Ireland to follow The Dubliners in my youth and am now in your vintage but will never forget those nights especially at Tallagh and O'Donohues in Merrion Row - happy, happy days! Didn't appreciate them enough! Love to them all, Pauline
I'm an American, with Irish ancestry...his songs bring back so many memories of what my great grandmother wrote about...it sounds wonderful to me.
Pauline Twigg, thanks for the reply, I'm taking my wife, my daughter and two grandchildren to Duncannon in County Wexford next May for a week! The kids are so excited because their dad's grandparents were from Ireland, although the kids have never been there yet! Have a good weekend!
My dad died on 29 May this year....a true Irishman born and bred. And loved his home South Africa for over 50 years. We made sure this was his last song he heard as he left the church at his memorial. Miss him everyday.
sorry for the loss
@@michaelcottet6838 Thanks brother
Rest in peace, Sir
I am from Turkey and a very different culture but when I listen to this song, I understand that the soul has an unique language and everyone on the planet may understand it. Thanks Hippety Hop for sharing this great song. I am in tears...
During the Irish famine the Turkish sent a few ships full of food to my home town drogheda.
Thank you turkey
Lovely comment. The Soul that is moved by music is devoid of borders.
U should come to ireland its beautful country
@@lorrainelawlor7885 I am planning to visit there in 2022
Bless your heart love from Ireland Dublin 🇮🇪🍀💚
Im scottish but this song is ageless and timeless and beautifully haunting describing a changing Dublin.
I'm not Irish, much less a Dubliner, but this song gets me every time. Makes me nostalgic for simpler times...
Embrace the music my friend.
thats whats so beautiful and tragic about it, because speaks to everyone, progress and the destruction of the old ways
I was born in England - My Dublin parents both now sadly passed but I get comfort and feel proud of them and Ireland listening to this.
That's lovely :)
American, father was from Dublin. Love the Dubliners
You'll always be Irish Derek.
So proud to be Irish, a Dubliner and from the Liberties 🇮🇪
That person right there is my Grandad.. Michael Fleming.. love you.. R.I.P x
I'm of Irish descent; this warms my heart and saddens me, as this way of life no longer exists. The slow march of progress makes the world seem so much smaller; I wish I could go back and live in those rare auld times...
I'm Irish also, but it's the slow march of them I'm your friend kikes that's destroying everything...
Do you live in the states?
I don't think you do.
Yes it sounds lovely in a way, fresh food/air, the TV was just coming out and computers? What are those? Also, I as a blind person would have probably found it much easier to get a job, but, and this is important, it was considered a fine thing to beat your wife if she got out of hand, and that was for you to decide, dinner not on the table, beat her, she has an oppinion you don't agree with, beat her, she looked at someone who wasn't you, you get it.
Oh and if you were an atheist back then, well you better keep that to yourself and forget being gay/lesbian or trans.
What i'm saying is there were nice things that I wish we had today but we move forward to change the world, because looking back is just depressing.
My dad brought me and my brothers and sisters up on The Dubliners music. We would sing it in the car on long journeys and as I got older, we went to watch them whenever we could. We played Dubliners at his funeral as his coffin left the church. He died three years ago today but listening to this makes him feel a bit closer. ❤️
Even here in 2022 this song still gives me the shivers, I am Scots myself
but my Mother was born in Mullingar but moved to Scotland many years
ago and lived here till she passed but her ashes were scattered in Mullingar.🍀
Brilliant song lyrics even better proud to be Irish 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪💯🕊️
I think a lot of people can sympathize with going home and finding that it's not home any longer. Whenever I visit the city that I was born in, I always feel so melancholy. It's been so many years and everything I knew and loved is changed or gone. This song really speaks to me.
Brilliant - Ronnie could be singing about Dublin, Liverpool, Belfast or Glasgow. All these cities have these traits and names. The Warmth in his voice. Spot on.
+TheMerseyBoy Liverpool is almost an Irish city, my grandparents came from Dublin and Downpatrick, and I live near Liverpool
There all Irish city’s
I visited Ronnie Drews grave, it's beautiful
Brings back memories of being a kid in Newfoundland and listening to the Irish Newfoundland show every sunday with my Granda while Nan cooked dinner or made bread. Its more than just a song....its a memory
How can anyone give this the thumbs down? The voice, the words, the soul al coming together... wow!
Those who oppose a free Ireland. Only thing I could think of.
Nothing better !!!!!

This song and these men are Dublin as it should be. So proud to call that fair city my hometown. What a place.
Jack McNamara same
Jack McNamara shame it's being dominated and taken over by third worlders.may the Celtic tiger rise again !
Fair play pal..
I am a very proud Dubliner
@@darrenmcdonald5373 we were “third worlders” for hundreds of years, these people are going through what we were for generations. We have to learn from the past and treat them as we should’ve been treated. If anything they’re only making the city a more varied and diverse place to live
@@darrenmcdonald5373 you know that hitler tried to separate his kind of human being from another. Just remember that. From one human to another. Cheers
"Kreide unter der Tür zerdrückt!" So klingt die Stimme für mich und ich liebe es !!! 🫂
I'm only 12 and this song reminds me of my granda and I'm proud to be irish and I live Dublin
+Megan Whelan I am a lot older than you. I was born in Dublin and have lived in Sussex, England for many years. I too am proud to be Irish and I love the tDubliners and I listen to a few songs by them every day. Lots of love. XX
This fabulous song was sung at my mother ‘s funeral as she was leaving the church such a beautiful song
I met Ronnie and had a jar with him in Moate Westmeath in August 1980, people would be surprised how pint size Ronnie was and how such a voice could come out of such a small in stature man, he was a true Dub a gentleman and great Irishman. May he rest in Peace.
It goes beyond heartbreaking and shakes the tears out of my face. I feel my great grandma and pa in this and the quiet lament of anyone who has seen the changing of the guard. Whats more humbling for me is, rare songs such as these are nostalgic for hard times, when the working class had been scraped off the lands into the industrial centres, first into the terraces then into brutalist high rises. Now people have no clue to their ancestors or their story, they just exist in this modern fake bubble. We must get back to sanity and remember who we are.
Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew - giants of Irish music, never, ever forgotten, their voices calling to us to remember our lives and our dear ones through history 🇨🇮
That's an ivory coast flag mate

The dubs are absolute quality 👌🏻🍀 so many stories to be told in every song they sung!! Hail hail me bhoyos!!! 🇮🇪🇮🇪✊🏻✊🏻
God bless the Hoops fuck the huns .
@@garrettorourke7136 Cheerio, to ten in a row ! 🤣🤣 Rule Britannia !
@@mrsuperger5429 Remember when we stopped your own ten in a row back in 1998 .Yeah you must have forgotten about that one you poor guy your mind been playing you up then .
The great Ronnie Drew. The world is much duller without him.
Frank Atack bbb
Right as Rain you are !
I loved Ronnie Drew seen him and The Dubliners in 1991 hey we're fab
A hauntingly beautiful melancholic song. Can’t help but make you reminisce of your days gone and bring a tear to your eye.
That's the kind of voice that brings tears to an old man's eyes.
A young man's eyes too
And a wee Scottish lassie’s (at 40 do I need to refer to myself as wummin yet?)
@@MariaAgnesQuinnScots and Irish are old cousins, so it's only natural you feel it too. ❤ to you and yours
Never will there be a band like that again which is sad great song delivered to perfection
As an English kid in the 1960s I heard the Dubliners sing 'Seven Drunken Nights', 'Poor Paddy Works on the Railway', 'Black Velvet Band', and many more. I've loved Irish music ever since. Thank you all so much.
Beautiful beautiful song and Ronnie was a rare man.
I never forget, when I met this guy in Budapest. I drunk with him,I played with him music. And now he is in the other side.
God bless you Ronnie, I always drink with you!
Very very beautiful, much love for Ireland, peace for all, from Brasil.
I arrived at the Dubliners in the last six months, never really knowing who or what they were about. Sadly a lot of them have passed but this band and their brilliant music lives on for generations to love as I do. Irish folk and Irish music is the best you can hear. Dubliners live on and thanks for such fine work.
I have no connection to Ireland that I know of yet i love their music and culture,especially the dubliners. I'm Hampshire born and bred ,with a bit of Dorset, Wiltshire thrown in, but my heart is in Ireland.
Strange but brilliant!
Get your ass over to Dublin some weekend!
@@janenothisrealname6789 Yeah must do that soon.
Its beautiful, and hard, and rare, and special. High above all other kinds of music, in my opinion. Never ever hear anything close to this in todays music.
I get so moist in my eyes for these songs about nostalgia and the times gone by.
Ronnie Drew bless your soul and thank you for your voice and your singing peace love and blessings from Scotland xx
In the rare old times when beauty reflected truth.
God bless you Ronnie
Long live truth! Especially in our times.
My mind’s too full of memories. Am honoured to have lived in this magical city 81-85
Very nostalgic song. I grew up in Dublin and it has changed enormously. It has grown. Better now than it ever was.
Ah! It's still there. You just have to look harder...
my late mum was a dub. I remember her with a tear in her eye not long before she died aged 80 listening to this. Great city,
Your comment has sadly aged like milk
My Dads brother had brougjt him to see the Dublieners before he left for England. I grew up listening to this music. Dad was always going home (back to Ireland). Thank you Ronnie and the boys you brought great comfort and memories over the years to those who missed home.
i am from Serbia and i like this song :)
My dad was from Drogheda, lived in England for nearly 40 years, before he died, and where he married my mum. In all that time, he never once spoke of England as 'home'. Whenever my Dad spoke of 'home' I knew he meant Ireland. The tales he'd tell of his life growing up in his homeland, he always superceded with the phrase "in the rare old times....." This song goes straight to my heart and always reminds me of him. RIP Pat O'Brien.
Grand old gentlemen they had magic in their music RIP
I sang this tune in Gaelic, by my last stay in Donegal. I was so proud...
Ronnie and Luke both sing this song brilliantly
im a belfast man myself but there wouldnt be a time not to listen till the dubliners pure genius r.i.p.
Makes me cry every time. My beloved father. Dublin man x
I was born in Dublin and I am so so proud to be Irish. Love And Light to All Along Your Path.
probably the most loved man in the history of Dublin or even Ireland im sure a lot of people remember their dads coming home from work singing one of his songs nostalgia overload
Luke Kelly is probably the most loved member of the Dubliners and the most talented, Ronnie a close second though.
huamiify You're probably right Mate, but personally I prefer Ronnie, always thought he had a better voice, look and deliverance, but I'd say more people would agree with Your comment than Mine, guess it's all just personal choice and opinion, but more would probably agree with You than Me
He was a charismatic personality and a great artist.The personification of Dublin.One could call him as a figure of the century who sought his peers and did not find. May he rest in peace. My thanks for everything, Ránall Ó Draoi, unforgotten.
@#$%, I even come home singing his songs, I'm 25 , Dutch and don't even have kids...
As another dutchy, THIS.
I'm an Irishman, not even born in the 20th Century. Was born in the mid 2000s but still a big fan of the Dubliners. I was only 2 years old when Ronnie Drew began sleeping peacefully in gods arms.
This is grand...From🇬🇷A Dubliners and Rory fan❤️✌️
I’m 15 and from Tallaght and I love the Dubliners cause my Nanny and Granny showed me it when I was young
I grew up listening to The Dubliners and many Irish artists . Thankyou Mum and Dad .
Snap! Dad’s party pieces that we now do and I watch my nieces and nephews learning them now too and my heart swells.
As a poet......My favorite song....My favorite song....My favorite song...
Tells a lot about the heart, spirit and love (soul) of the Irish.
" Congratulations to the Dubliners " My favorite Band of all times....Thomas j. kennedy
As an Albanian and as a fan of Irish music, lovely greetings to all Irish music lovers from the bottom of my heart, no matter where you come from, you are in my heart.🍀
God bless you all. ❤
I'm sitting with my tears imagining the old days..
Melancholy and longing
I'll shut up now and get back to my beer...
Brilliant song, I’ve had the pleasure of performing it with the man who wrote it, Pete St John on a few occasions ☘️🎵
I'm a bogman from Kerry, but I love this song!!! proud ta be Irish
Up kerry
Up the kingdom 👊
Kyle Layden my mother's mother came from Kerry. What is a bog man.?
Jane Voris he works on a bog
No matter where you are born, be PROUD
...so much power in voice and lyrics. miss those old Heros very much - R.I.P. Mister Drew
This song is heartbreaking! Just seeing how much Dublin has changed since the 1980s is upsetting. Can't go to the city anymore without asking, "What happened to the town I was born in?" It seems to have lost its heart, soul and character! So sad!
this song gives me a view of what my people lived in the old days. And give me pride that I'm Scottish-Irish
Happy st Patrick’s day everyone thought I’d play this absolute fantastic song this morning for the day that’s in it
I´ve never been in Dublin, even in Ireland, but there is so much truth and love in the voice of this incredible guy, that it made me cry
I´m sure Ronnie is now in heaven´s Dublin of rare old times
unforgettable Ronnie. He will never die
He'll forever be the voice of Dublin. As the years pass and the city as we know it disappears Ronnie's voice will be a historic document.
Reared in Dublin on the banks of the Canal , Mespil Road, half way between Baggot and Lesson Street Bridges in the 40' and the 50's, God be with the days!
Lost my father in law today, he wasn't the best of men but he had something in him that was made of grit. fair well wee man see you in the next life.
Can relate to that ++++11111 think we all know someone like that
Catherine Murphy That's the whole point of religion, To scare people into behaving and a reward of the unknown
Demented word
Demented you call it scare but I call it warn
Ahey, big man *
I'm happy bands like Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, and The Pogues are around, because without them, I wouldn't have found the awesomeness that is The Dubliners!
About eight tears ago, my wife Vera and I went to the Manchester Arena to watch listen to, the Pogues, they were brilliant, 21 thousand people crammed into that Arena that night, I don't know what was most exciting the Pogues or the 'mohican' cropped young people that filled the inner floor area, It was amazing, and the Pogues were backed by the Dropkick Murphy's. Sadly, The Pogues have lost a key player RIP, and the Arena has suffered a devastating terrorist attack, may the victims rest in peace. but we will be going again, Fuck islam.
@@brownybod great comment, until there at the end.
No need to spread hate.
@@brownybod correct on the music but don't be a bell end in here about religion. Only adding to the problem with idiotic comments like that.
Absolutely!
Makes you proud to be from Dublin it really is an iconic singing voice from Luke and Ronnie ☘️☘️
My father in law passed away, wonderful Romanian guy, he resembled so much Ronnie ...whenever I hear or see The Dubliners I feel I'm with him in spirit and feel those sweet memories again.
My parents were irish, dublin & ross common respective , i heared this tune so many times but instead of getting bored with it i love it more and more
It's a shame beautiful music such as this don't have as much views as all the meanness pop songs. Music as this should be view by so many more people the song and passion in Ronnie voice and the it's a shame these types of song are not play on mainstream radios.
Love this song, its popular in here Newfoundland , but my grandmothers roots are from Cork
I lived in dublin years ago, im from south america, and this is the most lovely and kind city ever, i hope can come back and die in this crountry that made me feel like in home.
Ronnie Drew, a true (and much loved) Irish legend.
What a voice cant understand anybody not liking this song
Yeah what BLOODY TASTELESS PIECE OF TRASH would dislike this song!?!?
Reb Mordcha Those whose brains are dimmed by gargle, that's who.
The person that dislikes this song must be english
+Joseph Cook "Burn everything English except their coal!"
+Joseph Cook You're an ignorant bigot to post a hate-filled comment based on zero evidence.
Some people are simply Gold dust ... what a Top guy Ronnie is !!!!
This one's my extra special favorite from the trip to Ireland. Doolin, you're a fine town and your music back in 1998 touched me so deeply. I hope to see you again with my children, as I was so lucky to travel with the daughter of Patrick Finnegan and her four sons and fine husband across the land of magic.
The Dubliners, Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem, The Pogues, and others have changed my whole music style. When I was younger I really liked metal, and around the age of 12, I found these groups and ever since it has molded me into the person I am today. It became my favorite music style and I hope to write music inspired by them in the future. In my mind these are the real music legends, without them life wouldn't be as entertaining. I love them so much
I got to visit 17 Merrion Row last year... just down from St Stephens Green- there was a trad session just inside the front door, and a hen party out on the patio- it was a magnificent day. the atmosphere, the smoke on the walls, the pictures, the crowd... the birthplace of the dubliners.... Ronnie sure could sing.
My grandfather who I'm named after used to sing this to me when I was a child he was born in Dublin in 1915
I have sung this song with an old poor homeless in Dublin few years ago. His eyes were full of tears, meanwhile he was so happy to share this beauty with a young italian boy...It was so heartbreaking. He died in one year. I still bring in my heart that experience. Thanks Dublin.
What a singer rip Ronnie 🇮🇪
