This would bring tears to an onion. Just love where Luke turns his voice down and gives Barney his due. Even at the end Barney McKenna the first words spoken. Legends each and every one them. God rest them all.
That line about where the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free and there's bottles of rum hanging from every tree is definitely one of the greatest lines I've ever heard in a song!😀😁😂😄🤗
This is a great performance. There is sincerity and consideration on the part of Luke to not overwhelm Barney. Ronnie always had a deep voice. Barney could cut through him. Luke was very kind in this instance when he could have buried Barney.
There is another version of this on RUclips, and a much older Barney is still singing. But the song has a fuller meaning to a man who is drawing nearer to his final sailing. Barney catches it perfectly.
Saw that version right before. The one you speak of is totally breathe taking. Barney catches that moment in such a baeutiful and meaningful way, I just can't find words for it. Gone with the breeze... RIP Barney...
Hear this almost every dag, with our five year old singing along and playing it on the keyboard. He’s a big fan of Barney and was really disappointed to hear he’s no longer alive. Instead he exchanged a few emails with John.
There is something poignant in the way Luke acknowledges Barney as the singer, may those two friends rest in peace along with all the Original Dubliners.
This is the first time I have ever seen this clip, I knew Barney could hold a note but this is brilliant. Great to hear the old "rusty file" singing in the background!
First Heard This Wonderful Song Back In 1987 On A Cassette Tape Called "A Collection Of Sea Songs And Shantys From Around The World"! Bought It From Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum In Warrnambool Victoria Australia! Have Loved It Ever Since!🤗🧔🎙️🎸🎻🎼🎼🎵🎶🐠🐟🎣🚢⚓🇮🇪
I love the dubliners more than my life -they are my life.For more than twenty years I visited their concerts. They are my life inspiration.Barney, you was my favourite------
@@АдамБреннан I am so sorry I never got to see them. I remember when I heard of Barney's death. It was the first and only time I cried over the death of a celebrity.
there will never ever be a band as good as the dubliners they had it all, good bless them all... oops they never had it all the good looks were never there forthcoming lol but i still love them all R.I.P.
My dad just passed and he fished every waking moment he could, an Irishman to the bone, loved the drink the sea and his wife of over 50 years, God bless and much love dad, hope some day to fish the rail next to you some day in fiddlers green.
As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair To view the salt waters and take the salt air I heard an old fisherman singing a song Oh, take me away boys me time is not long Wrap me up in me oilskin and Jumber No more on the docks I'll be seen Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates And I'll see you someday on Fiddlers Green Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell Where the sky is all clear and the dolphins do play And the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gail And the fish jump on board with one swish on their tail Where you lie at your leisure, there's no work to do And the skipper's below making tea for the crew Now when you're in dock and the long trip is through There's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there too Where the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free And there's bottles of rum growing from every tree Now I don't want a harp nor a halo, not me Just give me a breeze and a good rolling sea I'll play me old squeeze-box as we sail along With the wind in the riggin to sing me a song
It would nice to see John Conolly (an Englishman born in Lincolnshire, and still alive and singing!) noted as the author of this this song. I suspect that he'd be honoured that people think of it as "traditional", but, still, it's good also to honour those who write great songs. Oh, and the Dubliners, spot on as usual :-)
Connolly is an Irish surname. England has plenty of Irish-Anglos.The same as Ireland has had a string of Anglo-Irish such as the Duke of Wellington, who made the point when being referred to as Irish that he was not because if he was born in a barn wouldn't make him a horse.
@@rapier1954 Here we go again. As I noted elsewhere, there are plenty of Irish people with surnames that originated in England. Does that mean they are not Irish? John Conolly (note the spelling) describes himself as coming from a long line of Grimsby fishermen (and women of course, who worked on-shore). Why are you determined to deny this and pretend he's something that he is not? btw. by your same methodology would you claim that Ronnie Drew might have been English? The idea is stupid.
@@andrewwigglesworth3030 Well there are plenty of people in England who have Irish roots and vice versa. After generations in any place say America for example people become part of the local culture that is a given. They would consider themselves to be American even though they have roots that originate elsewhere. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive just like some people can chew gum and walk at the same time although I doubt you are one of them.
The VIkings and the Normans were in England and Ireland hence you see surnames related to their presence like Drew. Whether his folks came via England or not is irrelevant.
Both Luke and Ewan Maccoll (who Luke spent a great deal of time with) used to also put a finger in one ear while singing; apparently this was so they could harmonise easier, maybe this is why Barney did/does it?

I hope Barney, Luke, Ronnie, Ciaran and Jim are having a party on fiddlers green, and a drink of course - RIP lads
Not forgetting Bobby Lynch RIP who was one of the original members of the group...A lovely person who i met at a few sessions along the way...
Hi Sally
Michael Crowe ᄊc You’ a very Lucky Fellow!!
Never will they b anyone as good as them
This would bring tears to an onion. Just love where Luke turns his voice down and gives Barney his due. Even at the end Barney McKenna the first words spoken. Legends each and every one them. God rest them all.
Class act Luke Kelly. Can you just imagine the sessions!!! Pints and sing songs. ☘️🇮🇪
Love the brotherhood💕🍀
I'm not Irish, I'm not a fisherman and this performance is from the year I was born. But I absolutely love this song and this performance!
My year of birth also! 😊
That line about where the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free and there's bottles of rum hanging from every tree is definitely one of the greatest lines I've ever heard in a song!😀😁😂😄🤗
😄
It must have been a great time to hear them live at the time
John Sheehan still fiddling the memories he must have!
Definitive version.
No one could do it better.
RIP lads
This is a great performance. There is sincerity and consideration on the part of Luke to not overwhelm Barney. Ronnie always had a deep voice. Barney could cut through him. Luke was very kind in this instance when he could have buried Barney.
Barney, you are great, my tears falling on my face when I hear you singing and playing your banjo.I'll reember always you .Rest in peace, dear Barney.
I feel the same
When my kids were all very young I use to sing this to my them to get them to sleep. A magical song
Two very talented singers - both sadly missed.
I see 3 talented singers
Three Ronnie was singing too
There is another version of this on RUclips, and a much older Barney is still singing. But the song has a fuller meaning to a man who is drawing nearer to his final sailing. Barney catches it perfectly.
+tom jackson Yes, a very nice version. Also that he isn't singing it alongside Ronnie and Luke adds to it for me.
+crpx14 Luke's there! 1:46.
/watch?v=l1UEj7jIa_s
Here it is.
Saw that version right before. The one you speak of is totally breathe taking. Barney catches that moment in such a baeutiful and meaningful way, I just can't find words for it. Gone with the breeze... RIP Barney...
My gosh I miss these lads . The world just isn't a cool a place without them in it eh . They were so wonderful , and full of fun
Rest in Peace Mr. McKenna. I know for sure that you're up there in Fiddler's Green with Luke, Ciaran and Ronnie
One of a kind was Barney, and so were all the Lads. Put them together and and you get the best, the Dubliners.
And so we say the Dubliners,absolutely unique
Albert Smith Ain't that the bloody truth!
Barney Luke and Ronnie, still missed by us all. RIP fellas.
Long live John Sheahan.Still going strong.
What about Ciarán?
@@iceburg2993 he's dead aswell
Agree they were legends
Very nice!!!! Don't get to hear Barney belt out vocals very often. Enjoyed it!!
How could you not love this band
Hear this almost every dag, with our five year old singing along and playing it on the keyboard. He’s a big fan of Barney and was really disappointed to hear he’s no longer alive. Instead he exchanged a few emails with John.
There is something poignant in the way Luke acknowledges Barney as the singer, may those two friends rest in peace along with all the Original Dubliners.
Yes. 2 great friends showing respect 💕🌹
Hard to believe such a great bunch of lads were around at the same time. We would do well to see half the same ever again 🇮🇪🍻
How so very sad. The world is a sdder place without Barney. A wonderfully, talented and unique man. May you rest in peace in your own fiddlers green.
they dont make them like this anymore cut from a special clothe, legends
Legends is right John Doe one of my favourites this aul tune
S0right but he was the banjo player I ever heard
lovely song, lovely band ! love them forever !
Hi
We All Do!😂⛵⚓🚢🎣🐟🐠🌅🇮🇪
all those decades. and i have still tears left for the kings of balladeers.
This is the first time I have ever seen this clip, I knew Barney could hold a note but this is brilliant. Great to hear the old "rusty file" singing in the background!
It's wonderful to hear Barney sing. Never thought I'd see that!
Brilliant consideration between Barney and Luke, may they both rest in peace, and enjoy it as well!!!!!!!!!!!
Ronnie's wit is legendary! God rest them all. Sadly missed.

One Of The Best Sea Songs Ever ! Classic, Love It...
I love Barney. I saw them 2 weeks ago in Groningen (NL) This video is special with our all Luke Kelly.
He still sings this as well as he did back then, even though he's 25 years older.
I wish he was still here to sing...
@@АдамБреннан I am so sorry I never got to see them. I remember when I heard of Barney's death. It was the first and only time I cried over the death of a celebrity.
The greatest band ever!
RIP brother..thanks for the music. lots of love from NYC
Dear brother Robert, I miss you every day. I'll see you soon In Fiddeler's Green
Love the way Barney sings and the skipper is making "Teaaaaaaaaaaaaa" for the crew @315
The talent here is amazing, a symphony with just what God gave them!
I admire the translator who tries to make an effort.
Never forgotten and always in mind 💕
there will never ever be a band as good as the dubliners they had it all, good bless them all... oops they never had it all the good looks were never there forthcoming lol but i still love them all R.I.P.
yeah LUKE doesnt outsing him, just keeps him in key.great peice of footage.
thanks for posting.
My dad just passed and he fished every waking moment he could, an Irishman to the bone, loved the drink the sea and his wife of over 50 years, God bless and much love dad, hope some day to fish the rail next to you some day in fiddlers green.
As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair
To view the salt waters and take the salt air
I heard an old fisherman singing a song
Oh, take me away boys me time is not long
Wrap me up in me oilskin and Jumber
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
And I'll see you someday on Fiddlers Green
Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell
Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell
Where the sky is all clear and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away
Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gail
And the fish jump on board with one swish on their tail
Where you lie at your leisure, there's no work to do
And the skipper's below making tea for the crew
Now when you're in dock and the long trip is through
There's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there too
Where the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free
And there's bottles of rum growing from every tree
Now I don't want a harp nor a halo, not me
Just give me a breeze and a good rolling sea
I'll play me old squeeze-box as we sail along
With the wind in the riggin to sing me a song
Just like my dad.died 2004.Miss him most when I hear this song. Bet their both catching the big one's in heaven !!!!!!!!
at an old sea mates funeral yesterday. Fiddlers green broke some hardened old seadogs. RIP Mike Clarke ( with an 'E' ) there's only one 'UM' .......
He's got his hand on his shoulder again now. There must be some good sessions in 'Fiddlers Green' these days
That is so true,Luke was a gentleman in not singing near the microphone
This is without doubt one of the greatest songs ever written bar none BAR NONE! God bless Barney McKenna for ever we were blessed by his presence!😂😂
My uncle would be happy to read that! 😀
Love the way Barney puts his arm around Luke near the end
miss u all that's passed away xxxxx
I almost broke down in tears hearing this.
That was magic. I love the Dubs. 5+
This is a unique version, it's traditionally an uptempo song, but this is great.
We played this at my step dads funeral.
The only time the man was happy was when he was fishing with his dog.
It seemed appropriate.
Watched my father's coffin lower to this, I'll meet him one day on fiddlers Green ❤
Thanks for uploading
i think luke and barney had a special friendship. i love barney singing this.
Barney was an angel.
So beautiful a song, even better how well Luke and Ronnie support him, I cant imagine the tunes they are ringin out upstairs...
I needed to hear this. Happy New Year! Thanks Barney
So wonderful! Xxx
I'm doing a gig next month for college. Think I might do this in memory of Barney!
BARNEY WAS a great banjo player
Beautiful
Beautiful sentiments from beautiful people Ireland 🇮🇪
A fantastic song by John Connolly, championed by Barney in his own unique style
Love them forever xoxo ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is Awesome! Thank you for posting this!

Rest in peace. Thanks for everything!!!
Listening to this 23 12 19th

This song meens more to me than I understand.
2022 Rules forever happy birthday 🎂 fiddler's green bye now 😀😷♥👍.

Gorgeous lovely Dubliners.
Though I agree it is sad he's gone, I'm glad we had him among us.
I Wish there would be a chance to see Luke and Ciaran live.. RIP to all ye dubliners!

I really mean that, The Dubliners are a life inspiration

a great song giving barney the chance to sing it was good he suits the song well. love it
Love the brotherhood

If I remember right this is a clip from a gig shown on Norwegian television in 1980. So there should be more stuff from this show out there...
a friend of mine got a vhs copy from a guy in germany. i put it on dvd.
i hope we will see u there barney r i p .
Fiddler's Green sounds like my kinda heaven ☘️
Pure MAGIC Nuff said
Both Luke and Ewan Maccoll (who Luke spent a great deal of time with) used to also put a finger in one ear while singing; apparently this was so they could harmonise easier, maybe this is why Barney did/does it?
just spotted that a moment ago, a beautiful moment. The meaning of self-actualisation
Gammel fin Barney, og Luke Kelly, glimrende stubber:-)
It is just a way of hearing your own voice better. It is the old way, but it works perfecly. even in these new times.
@Alfonsluc Barney did not sing that often , but you can hear he was very musical , like all the Dubliners ...they had loads of talent.
Who said they're crying?tears of joy and sadness.
Barney, now you´re in Fiddlers green too, may the fish jump into your boat and the stout never run out
