Very sad news to hear of the death of Christy Dignam ...'everybody hits you ..everybody knocks you..'thanks to Killarney's Don MacMomagle for capturing these precious moments of music and song from the late Christy Dignam and to Liam O'Connor and his daughter and friends who made this into an ungforgettable impromptu concert in Killarney that is now part of the legacy of the late Christy Dignam...condolences to all his close family friends and fans all over the world for the loss of one of the greats in Irish and Rock music..
A true Dublin/Irish legend that gave so many of us many great nights out. Best frontman bar none a national treasure.. Always remembered never forgotten.. RIP Christy thanks for the memories 🙏☘
This brings tears to my eyes, a sad, sad story about useless and cruel war, sung and played beautifully and with total heart and feeling, Take a look at the faces of the people standing around and listening, it shows what this song means to them
I have to say I'd never heard of him til he died,I've been looking him up and what a great talent he was,one of Ireland's best,you can see here he took a bad turn,and yet he carried on singing, Luke kelly and Chris would be on an equal par with their wonderful, unique Irish voices.👏👏👏
I recently saw for the very first time Christy Dignam and Aslan playing live in Monaghan, coming from the Netherlands together with my Irish girlfriend. The moment Christy start singing my heart turned Irish
What a wonderful singer he could sing anything from rock to traditional and he is also one of the great singer/songwriters to come from Ireland. Rest in peace Christy.
So brilliant....Christy always had time for a song and put his heart and soul into it....such a legend, never to be forgotten...one of Ireland's national treasures, r.i.p. Christy 🌟
Ah , christy , So loved ! So Missed! Who have we got to fight for the under dog now, ? His music gave me great hope after returning. From Australia and feeling lost!! Thank you Christy , we know you.have the Best Seat in heaven with Phil lynott RIP, 2 best Irish boys in the World.❤

Thank you we are indeed so proud of ireland, our music is our legacy, these great singers and musicians always fill us with pride, many good old nights in and out, a good session for us all to get up and belt out all the songs, its what we are known for
This man would make anyone proud to be Irish, what a treasure to our wee country. May you rest in peace Christy. An honest and great man with Irish blood flowing through his veins forever.
I am an old Aussie,of Irish decent and So Proud of our Heritage ! Such an Irish Legend ,Man just beautiful ,bought a tear to my eye ! And of Course of the Irish People ! Thank U Sir ,God bless U !
Hi Paul I am an old Irish guy also.. living the west coast of Ireland.. was taken by your comments.. I was a seafarer for most of my life.. a sea captain. I first visited Australia in 1964 Melbourne when I was a teenager and had a great time there it was the time of the swill hour when the pubs were open for two hours only- no passports needed for seafarers in those days.. young people today have no idea. What i wanted to say was you should check out irish hurling.. a great irish sport.. in fact the fastest game in the world played on a green field.. and all by amateurs.. a lot of them like you with your name Brennan coming from that great county Kilkenny.. the home of hurling and the Brennans. Jim Neill
This song always brings a tear to my eye no matter who is singing it. A truly powerful song that I think the whole world would be better off knowing. Great rendition by Christy, he's got some pipes!
How to sing with pride, passion and feelings. Distinctive beautiful voice, words to "Crazy world" mean more now with Covid lockdown. We are all 🙏 for the day when we can gather in streets like this again and listen to a singer like Christy. 💚💚
In America, most people have no clue about WWI and certainly not this song and here is a crowd of people singing along to this mournful song. Folk music is the only thing that keeps history alive, too bad humans refuse to learn from it.
Looking back to the early middle ages the Irish Church and monks supposedly saved Christianity for Europe..some say same is happening again but in a different way.. in a cultural way...one thing is you can say about the Irish - they are different
Id heard of Aslan about 15 years ago. Was kinda a passing take it or leave thought. But started to find out more about Christy in the last few years. Started listening to Aslan, read up more on his life, what he's been through. I think he's a credit to himself and an amazing singer/songwriter. I wish I'd paid more attention to him earlier.
Christy what an amazing voice you have. I only heard of you by chance, scrolling through RUclips. On some show with finbar fury? Then watched you with The Script. An amazing talent you had. RIP Christy x
I only discovered Christy a few days ago while mooching around youtube - i've watched various interviews and performances, he is just such a lovely person and great singer, just think what I have missed all these years
@hermannholzkamper630 "the singer's " name was Christy Dignam. And a marvellous artist he was too, battling cancer and still performing to the best of his abilities. Good man. 👍🏻
The Green Fields of France is my favourite Irish song and Christy sings it so beautifully and the lyrics are so moving and sad that I sat hear and shed a tear. God bless you all and keep strong in 2021!!
I apologise to everyone,I was never a christy fan over the years,not saying this after he's gone but he was a beautiful person and a huge loss to Ireland.
When he sang this on the late late he was absolutely excellent it showed how good a voice he has. Aslan could of been as famous as u2 only for certain hurdles. Great voice he is so down to earth. He is living with treatable but incurable big C
@@coisty52 the late late show - its a TV show in Ireland, if you haven't seen the video they're talking about just search "christy dignam, finbar furey, late late show" and it should come up
This is a sad and true song. Everyone should hear this song at least once and it reminds me of all those who suffered and died doing what they believed was a war to end all wars. The words in this song tell everyone why we salute those who fought for freedom. Brilliant song, sung so well and the haunting tone of the accordion works so well. Thanks for posting and thanks to the singer and accordion player. I loved it.
Every time I hear this it just gets better. What a memory to have been one of the people there on that day. Imagine life without music? It lifts my spirit, makes me happier, teaches me and moves my emotions. I LOVE IT!!
Well that had the hairs on my arms standing 😢 wow just wow ❤🇮🇪💯 R.i.p Christy 😢 I couldn't get 2 see u live. 😢💔 You left 1 big Mark, 💯🇮🇪Yous are a CREDIT TO THE IRISH/💯 DUBLIN,IRELAND 🎉❤ and everywhere. Fly high 🎉 we see you behide that clouds ❤😢😢😢😢
Bless christy ,first time i seen that street performance, go anywhere in ireland crowds would come out for christy ,a true irish legend .rest easy my friend
Superb interpretation! This man has got Heart and Soul and guts. The public knows their lyrics too! 💚🧡☘ The following song makes sense. Teaching English in France, I work on Green Fields of France with 14/15 y.o. kids around Armistice Day. 😡Bitterness and anger for what the oligarchs did to our ancestors of all race and creed and forced them to do. Peace in humanity's heart🕊💕
I never knew that this happened. So glad you captured it! The loss of musical legends in Ireland this year has been monumentally hefty. Videos like these form a powerful part of what remain of their legacy.
Brings tears to my eyes this. Feel so proud to be Irish. We really dont know what we have as an nation in comparison to others. This young girls voice blew me away. It's of grace and beautiful well done to her. I'd love to hear more. Christy all I can say is " thank you" somethin else your voice your journey. Truely amazing. You make me proud to be Irish. To all who played with you that day thanks a million. Good health and peace of mind always. Love from UK. 👏🙏🇮🇪

Better late than never my friend
Me to, can't believe how he sings this song. It is absolutely beautiful.

Love how the accordian player knew when to let Christy sing unaccompanied!
AGREE perfect timing !!
What an entertainer. Irelands answer to Paul McCartney. Christy your brilliant
I Think he Only die that because the singer wasn't able to stay in Time ...i also noticed that in the late night Video with finbar
@hermannholzkamper630 "the singer's " name was Christy Dignam.
And a marvellous artist he was too, battling cancer and still performing to the best of his abilities.
Good man. 👍🏻
Legend.... Really going to be missed 😢
The Green Fields of France is my favourite Irish song and Christy sings it so beautifully and the lyrics are so moving and sad that I sat hear and shed a tear. God bless you all and keep strong in 2021!!

Celtic then!!!😊
The Green Fields of France is a Scottish song written by a Scotsman named Eric Bogle 👍👍
R.I.P Christy ❤ from the East Coast Of Ireland 🇮🇪 😢
Proud as fudge of this here our national treasure, my heart swells when I listen to him sing xx
Silence....the crowd ...pure respect and enjoyment ....class...❤️
Only heard of aslan in the last few months! absolutely blown away by them!
Same here.
First saw them in Killarney in 1988/9....Feel No Shame was the first album I bought and is one of the best ever produced..
