I wanted to thank you all for your beautiful comments in honor of my dad. I’ve watched this video so many times since his recent passing and it just doesn’t feel real. I’m grateful for treasures like these and for you, his loyal fans, who have carried us thru a very difficult couple of weeks with your outpouring support. I don’t know myself how I managed to do Liveline the day he passed suffice it to say I know he’d have wanted me to. He never closed the doors on his fans and this was no exception. On behalf of my entire family, thank you for your support 💙🙏
Sorry about you Dad Melanie, I remmeber watching Two Sides Of Grace when RTE first showed it in the 80's, with my Mum and Dad, the tears were running down our faces with laughter and taking a pain in the side, we laughed that much.That was the day I recorded it onto a video and we watched it every so often untill it was near played out, my niece named her dog Molly after one of the songs Irish Molly, he was a great entertainer, an original no bad language, a true gentleman, you can see from the comments what he meant to other people too, I know it will be hard for you's, my parents passed away this decade, it never goes away, but it might ease a bit, take care, my condolence to the Family circle
RIP Brendan from Glasgow Irish.
Great singer and lovely tribute to you Melanie, what a beautiful thing to be able to look back on. I just wanted to say that your Dad may not be here anymore but his legacy is still reaching people, I was playing his sketches to my mother who is unfortunately in the Hospice in the Curragh at the moment and it cheered her up a lot I have to say. I used to play them also for my father in law who died 2 years ago in the same Hospice, he was a big Brendan Grace fan and it used to give him a real boost watching those old clips. RIP Brendan, your memory and comedy legacy lives on. Peace & Love from Kildare
Just watched him tonight with the forget me nots choir ..was so sad but amazing at the same time .may he RIP
Beautiful x
RIP to Brendan. One of Irelands best comedians there ever was.
Your were the best we will mlss you
I’ve only recently discovered Brendan Grace thanks to RUclips. He’s really made me laugh but I’ve now found he was a lovely singer too.
Thank you for the comment. He was one of a kind, unique, Ireland's number one.
There are comedians/entertainers and then there is Brendan Grace... an Irish Icon .... Rest in Peace Brendan and thanks for the many wonderful memories.
Its a beautiful clip Melinie and a lovely song. Thanks for your comment. Your dad is a wonderful man and Irish performer. So sad he passed on. Big loss to Ireland 🇮🇪 Rest in peace Brendan.
What a gentleman - and a great way to live a life - a generous decent family man who made people laugh and forget their worries for a while...
Only found him this year. He can sing and tell jokes why are all the good ones gone to soon.
A father’s pure love for his daughter shines thru’ like a beacon - may he RIP, very sad Melanie but what a treasure..... I never met him in person but somehow my heart is bursting for the the kind of man & father he so obviously was.
Just came across this and listened either tears in my eyes what a funny loving caring talented man, have played it over and over again with tears in my eyes as I lost my dad too. Miss him every day. Rip Brendan and my heartfelt wishes to your family.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for your lovely comments everyone. I'm Melanie, the little girl on the stool! I remember this night so vividly. I didn't understand the lyrics but I remember feeling sad probably because like someone mentioned in the comments he sang it with such emotion & I just felt happy I could be on stage with my him! It's a memory I'll treasure forever. Happy to say I still enjoy collaborating with my father to this day but my own sons steal the limelight with him these day! Many thanks & my dad is forever grateful to his loyal fans xxx
I have meet Brendan your dad Eileen and Amanda on a few occasions in the past few years and not forgetting Terry my neighbour Amanda partner,all lovely people
Dear Melanie Sorry I forgot to thank you for the nice CD of your dad you sent me thank you so much for it , I see you still have your maiden name , my sisters live in Dublin , they kept theirs as well , I see your dad still going strong bless him my English friends say he is very funny and talented man as do i bless you Patrick .
You are most welcome my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Melanie, i have this beautiful song of you and your dad still on a video tape from christmas 1985. It was part of a christmas special your dad made with some excellent comedy sketches included. Hard to believe it is over 31 years ago, but though we all inevitably succumb to old mother time , we however can revisit our youth through music and memories and that part of our being remains ageless. Johnny Mcevoy a fellow Offaly man wrote this song, so beautiful yet so sad. But much beauty rose from the ashes of sadness. Thanks for this beautiful memory, best wishes Seán!
+elizajohn5 thanks so much for that Sean! It's a treasured memory indeed. Hasn't time just flown by? And thanks for confirming the year! I was 7 years old and 32 years later, I remember it like yesterday.
Such a lovely man. R.I.P, Brendan. You will be missed.
A very talented and funny comedian but never realised how brilliant a singer he was👌
He was a great man and well missed by lots of people

RIP Brendan. Your star of David was beautiful as was the song with Melanie.
Thanks for the memories RIP Brendan saw u last in Keadeen Hotel in Janurary was great thinking of all ur family at this sad time
I sat beside Mr. Grace on an Aer Lingus flight many years ago. We chatted briefly. I was struck with his desire just to be at home with his family. A comic genius and a great singer. RIP
This is amazing, thank you. He traveled home after every gig because he hated being away from us for any longer than he needed to be. He was as dedicated to his family as he was to his career. Sorely missed 🥹
RIP to the great funny man and entertainer, my thoughts go out to his family. This is such a lovely memory x
Brendan you have a wonderful voice so easy to listen to, you were a very funny man but also blessed with a fantastic voice bless you, sadly miissed RIP Brendan

I met your Beautiful dad, a long time ago, In galway, he was absolutely amazing and everytime I saw him on the telly, I would love to tell everyone, I met Brendan Grace, and then I heard my uncle met him, and my great granny's surname was Grace, and they had a connection ❤💙♥💖
Hi i meet Brendan Grace in Sligo and before his show i gave him a Micraleous Medal he was delighted with it may he Rest in Peace
Rest in peace Brendan, you used your gifts to give us a lift, thank you, what an amazing singing voice and memory you had. I returned home the day you passed to find the book of jokes you gave me in Tuam on my bed, so I feasted on them and laughed myself to sleep. Don't know how the book got there, keep up those surprises from your place of rest
Melanie
I saw your Dad at the Clontarf Castle where I was a waitress at his Cabaret. Then I saw him in Baghdad where I worked then in Chicago where I live and back in the Gaeity.
He was a wonderful comedian a beautiful singer and a lovely person.

Hi all I will never forget the first time I went for a walk with Brendan when he used to come to Scarriff in the South West of Ireland and he Big black van was backed into to get all the Gear set up for the performance that night and I was there and I went for a walk with Brendan down through the big Hotel car park and I just couldn't believe this the first time this happened and I collected all his cassettes he had brought out and I have these memories when I was young child and this happened everytime Brendan came to Scarriff and I was just still can't get over his passing and what he done for my Mother when my Dad passed away in 2007 but I wasn't there then because of my illness and if he had known then of the same connection's Thanks for everything Brendan I know you are still with us in Mind, Heart, and Soul I am not able to tell anyone about this situation it's too hard to take this thanks Brendan for your help and time going back and giving me these Beautiful Memories of our past lives I won't even think I will see my 50th Birthday

Thanks for the memories Brendan, RIP .
Such a good man, funny man and a great singer. His RUclips videos are so funny!
I remember as a young teenager doing the Bottler skits. To this day I still use this phrase stup, are ya stupped.. form the Grada pulling the joy riders. "Who was driving?. "None of us we were all in the back!"
Fab voice.lovely father,daughter connection.
What a beautiful ballad , I had the pleasure of meeting Brendan on an Irish Cruze.
A genius gone! a funny man (never a crude expletive used)will be sorely missed by is loving close family,and fans worldwide,Ar Dheis De Go raibh A Anam
I have always loved this song, and Brendan's version of it. He has such a lovely voice, and I was able to find a couple of LP's and CD's with him singing. The LP that has this song on it, if I remember correctly has a photo from this video with Brendan and Melanie on the cover. Have seen Brendan many times from Wexford to San Diego and love the show every time!
Thanks for the comment, the LP was named Two Sides of Grace.
Rip Brendan a lovely song
Thanks for everything a legend
legend himself was a treasure to our country
I remember I was in Ireland for a holiday I was down on the Cliffs there was a gift shop there I bought a cassette called Grace Before and After, I decided to visit my Mam in Dublin and played the tape, hilarious the best skit was the Irish Astronauts I nearly run off the road near the Curragh, Great memory,. I couldn't spell the Cliffs of ?
Was it The Cliffs of Moher
