Brought up on the Bridie Gallagher, the Clancy's and the Dubliners and Furies and Pogues and Francis Black and Christie Moor, the Waterboys and on an on. Many gone now - but they lived! Not least SM, may he rest in peace, celebrated today. There has been other amazing music - Oliver Mtkuduzi (Todii - Zimbabwe) Brenda Fassie (Vulindela) and Sakala Bothers (Londole Zambia) - music of their time and place as important to their communities as any. But the Irish music (and the people who nurture and share it with us - Finbar of the pipes!) feeds our soul and wherever you are and whoever you are and what you achieve (or don't) - it is Ireland - and there is nothing quite like it. Saw the Dubliners and Furies live - wish I had seen Liam and the band and Sean - don't delay ...
Hahaha! This is the explanation behind the line from John Sheahan's tribute to Ronnie Drew, a poem called "Ronnie's Heaven." "[You are] leaving behind the 3 imponderables that tortured you...What is life? What is art? And WHERE the FUCK is Barney?!"
Listening to him in interviewing Ronnie here - I wish he'd gone to rest much earlier. Openly shown ignorance or tactlessness cannot be justified by "That's just the way he was"...
I Loved and Love The Dubliners. Had The Honour to meet them in Person once. I will NEVER forget this Night and all their concerts i have visited
The best night of my life was attending a concert by the Dubliners.
I saw them years ago. Great and unforgettable.They were not like anyone.They were unique.
The guys of the Dubliners were very much ambassadors of the Irish way of thinking, is what I feel! And I'm from Norway...
Ronnie Drew is a legend in every sense of the word!
Thank you for showing the world us Irish are a beautiful people who were severely treated like notta on our own of shamrock faugh a ballagh
An enjoyable documentary to watch. Very interesting about those "Rare Ould Times".
The Mursheen Durkin performance on the Ed Sullivan Show is something I quite regularly watch on RUclips!🤗🧔🎙️🎻🎸🎼🎵🎶🇮🇪

Thank you
Thanks a million for this!
'Ledzeppelin of Irish folk music' what a title.
The Dubliners were, loathed, hated and despised by the British establishment because they brought people together and for that they were feared.
So were the Rolling Stones etc
That interviewer should let the man talk and shut his mouth.
Ryan had a huge ego.A very attractive man but his head was huge.Both gone now.
This is very interesting.
what a gentleman..

Gerry Ryan RIP xx
Who.T.F disliked this?
Ah Gerry, will you shut up for a minute and let the man speak!
I could never understand why he was allowed to interview or narrate a docu to such a great treasure of Dublin and the world.
Maybe someone who personally could relate to Seven Drunken Nights. "Who owns that head upon the bed where my old head should be" etc
Does anyone else feel the fellow interviewing Ronnie is being a little condescending to the old guy?
HahaimHugH
Good
Gerry Ryan.A brilliant broadcaster but his ego and arrogance took over.
Yes hes a terrible interviewer
Yep. Nothing RD said was good enough. Guy should have been knee capped till he showed respect.
"you just keep looking up" "like the coliseum."
Well yea prolly buddy, seeing as how it's never had a roof
Brill !!!
