Rip Pete
One of the best Irish songs I've ever heard and it's incredible
That is what a funeral should be like. Some good old friends, companions and beer. It’s amazing. I am speechless. I prefer a pub, not a church anymore.
Without church, you're just a drunk. With church, you're a drunk with soul. The entire Irish pub experience is built on a history of soulful drunkenness. Neglect the church, live in the ruins of the past until even the ruins are dust. No, my friend. Something sacred animates this. It's up to us to find out what. The people who built these pubs knew something that us moderns have forgotten to our peril.
I am with you about that ..
too many churches.....temples...synagogues...mosques...cathedrals....chapels....etc...and all the congregations vying for the most attendants and their tythes....donations...gifts....offerings...alms...etc...!
what a racket....
give me some pubs, inns, clubs, bars, grills, anytime...anyplace...!
God bless
Love frome Sweden!

Slansche!!!
I had never been to a wake as such. A very good friend, collapsed and died in Portugal. His wife arranged a wake in my bar. People arrived from all over Ireland. His sons were fabulous singers along with Karaoke. Never have I ever seen so much love and respect in celebrating a life. RIP Larry. ❤
There’s a lot of mighty talented musicians/singer sat around that table.
May this video never be lost
Very proud boys from a proud Irish man living in Australia god bless
Living in the occupied counties of Ireland 🇮🇪 in co tyrone. Listening to Glen and the irish men singing rare auld time .proud to be Irish
Good man,I live in Strabane,what do you work as?
No Surrender ☘🍻✝
superb only occuipied if you want it to be
Haven't those counties elected to stay with the UK though?
@oleyullah no representwtive people ever voted for this. That's not how colonialism works, sadly. Tiocfaidh ar là! 🇮🇪
I find this highly emotional to watch and listen to. It’s so amazing to watch. I’m not Irish but dream one day of visiting Ireland and being in a pub like this to witness something like this. Something I’d never forget.
Cead mile failte , ( a hundred thousand welcomes )
You don't have to be Irish to love their music, the people or Ireland itself. I love all three and I'm English.
I’m very proud my Irish heritage
@@cherbert359 and we stuck back on the island are happy that so many around the world are proud of their heritage. Through it all we can now share the stories of how hard things were for so many and connect as brothers and sisters of the same land. We can celebrate the success in the context of this little countries complex and too often sad history.
Matt Book your one-way ticket to Ireland you will receive a welcome like a long-lost brother, you will never want to return home,
From liverpool , love the Irish people, God bless you all ❤
These must be the best times of their lives .. they will never forget .. singing together is the finest thing there is.
Brilliant 👏
I only wish my mam was here, for me to play.
It’s a funeral wake...
@@kevinperree7764 it's too hard to read apparently
Guys I'm from Newfoundland and I absolutely sang along with this one ,ta bron orm ,slan
it does'nt get any better than that in a million lifetimes.xx
it's great to hear traditional folk singing, not everyone appreciates it, But having been a folk singer brilliant!!!!
I watch this video every week beautiful song
What a beautiful send off
love the irish ,from a proud yorkshireman ,sing up boys
I love this Irish setting where friends share a pint and sing to the memory of a good friend. The Irish know how to do it right. A Japanese Canadian who has a bit of Irish in him🍀🤤
I listen to this song 10 times in a row n never get bored of it love it n I listen to it everyday ❤️❤️❤️
Nobody does it like the Irish . . . ☘️
I want to be there, even if it's a sad occasion. I hope people do this for me when my time comes.
Love to see people talking and doing their thing and the singers carryon and nobody has an issue
Hits hard more than ever this song, wish we had the rare oul times back again
"The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad, For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad."
One of my favourites. Living in Canada and these guys don't know how lucky they are what a great group of buddies.
Canada is where I am from and we have some pretty good sing a longs in pubs too!
Dublin is Amazing and the people of Ireland are kind as can be
To walk in to a pub, and be so privileged to here such music and singing, would be something that would stay with me forever.
oh what a wonderful culture, fantastic 👏👏👏.
Greetings from East Germany ✌️
What a tribute .. Absolutely wonderful and heartbreaking...
One of the most beautiful videos ive seen on youtube - alot of love and talent in that pub
Fantastic, the man with the hat in has great voice. God bless you guys.
His name is George Murphy.
Fabulous, soulful, spontaneous music by such talented artists - a one off to be cherished.
As a Belfast man I love this ….wonderful.👍
I keep coming back to this, it is beautiful. That's a send off 😢
3:34 all the other lads sing louder because he is in tears thats so beautiful that is friendship
3:46 the guy caring for him - this whole footage is so beautiful
This is one of the most beautiful things i ever saw on youtube since ever ❤
See the admiration in Glen's eyes for the fella singing the second verse?
Yeah, it must be such a proud moment to see younger generations continue your musical traditions, and so well too. It's written all over his face
It was David Brown singing the second verse and then David and Sean Butler singing the third, some very talented people on this video
@@Alma-vs6yb Do you know who's sitting between Brian and George?
If you listen to the quality of paddy reilly's voice versus him singing the same song 20-30-40 years before, today's voice has a much fuller and deeper quality to it. Perhaps it is all the nights in the pubs and concert halls, but I certainly love today's version. God bless Paddy Reilly.
There is something about the quality of paddy reilly's voice that has a richness to it. I don't know how to explain it, but his voice is very comforting to my ear. God bless us all.
What a beautiful song 🎵
I keep coming back to this. Wonderful.
Me too!
Fantastic tunes great voices. Unbelievable loyalty to a departed friend. Up the liberty's.
Both my my parents were Dubliners and i spent many a happy school holiday there and brought their ashes back to be spread on the beach at Portmarnock, the scene of their first date. I grew up on this music. We played the Dubliners’Rocky road to Dublin’ at my dads funeral as he was carried out of the church
ar dheis de go raibh a h'anam Phil
So schön , behalte eure Kultur und seid stolz darauf es berührt immer mein Herz ❤ eure Musik zu hören
These guys nailed it, absolutely nailed it. The authenticity in their voices is breath taking. Thank you for sharing.
They are professional musicians and singers...of course they nailed it....
Amazing❤. Just amazing. Big love from Norrköping sweden
A beautiful song sung by almost enough people. A great to see Paddy Reilly sitting there. His singing of Fields of Athenry there is really special.
Absolutely beautiful
.especially when ins a dram in my hand
I can't find Paddy Reilly in this video....
He is the older gentleman in a black hat a couple of seconds into the video, then later when the camera swings to the last, and the last person shown.
@@DanPurdy1
Thank you, I found him now.
Left Dublin 35 years ago. Seeing this video makes me long for home.
I’m a Cork girl and I love this
That's why Ireland is the most magic place in the entire world! ❤
I wish i was irish. Feels like i have an Irish heart. Much love from boring Essex
Try Raglan Road by Luke Kelly.
I'm Irish on my Mother's side. The only other Country she has ever visited is Ireland and she said it was beautiful and always dreamed of going back. I one day hope to visit this beautiful countryside of Ireland.
i mis time when i was young and here at Finland we have same kind of pubs....not anymore:( Dont ever lost this amazing culture what you have there
Absolutely fantastic singing paying respects to their friend n fellow musician who passed away he be proud of them all god bless
I can’t watch this video enough! I want to be sent off like this.
My ❤ to Dublin and his singers
I too remember Dublin City in the rare ould times. Pity that’s lost and gone forever. Dublin RIP.
Oh the years have made you bitter...
This song was written by Pete St. John about Dublin in the 1970's about the changes back then. Dublin has changed utterly again since then; the grey unyielding concrete having yielded to glass and steel.
But a city is more than it's buildings, monuments and infrastructure. So here we are in 2022 with Dubliners still being Dubliners; they're not singing this song to look back in anger, they're singing it to celebrate the life of the man who wrote it.
@@dellhell8842 I think both the city and its people have lost their souls. I think Dell Hell, I’m entitled to think that and you’re entitled to disagree with me. I’m not bitter. Just sad about that. And I did already know Pete wrote the song. But thx all the same.
I dream to visit Ireland! I’m not crying, you are. What a bunch of wonderful people!
Me Uncle John came from the city and I'll never stop miising him. He was, and is, for alaways, me Uncle John Murphy!!! ...love. always and never a bad word x that's love x
I met Pete a few years back on the deck of the Jeannie Johnson for a famine memorial & the Guy had such a heart for all of us Aul'' stormers & messers !! I may quote the others & say it was surreal !!
I was on my first trip to Ireland as a student for an Irish friends 21st birthday party. The first night in a County Kildare pub we experienced this; my friend's younger brother was a singer an he always sang in their local. It was beautiful. I recommend this; it is utterly beautiful and emotional experience to have in Ireland but it is a MUST in my opinion.
Stunning, emotional just as it should be. Safe onward journey Pete. Thanks George you all did him right.
Honor and care for who you are beautiful, I have great respect for how you understand each other, respect and are proud of your country.
Pure poetry from a true poet!
Marvelous. Brought me some tears. Greetings from Switzerland
I've been learning old irish(Gaelic)on an app called Duolingo ,it's free and it's great ,I'm a big supporter of keeping the irish language alive and I hope I reached someone through this ,may this lad rest in peace ...if he got tribute such as this albeit he was a was a great person .may the Irish language live on through his memory,god bless
A 'thumbs-up' or simple 'like' is so not what I wanted to honour this video with... There should be a special icon for 'heartfelt love'. This is what I feel for all the men sharing their grief and singing this song.
Awesome Irish music
Wow, this is how should be this song always singed. Slowly but loud on full throath. Murphy is absolutely killing it.
What a writer. A genius.
I wish I could like this more than once, so evocative, makes me miss the homeland everytime I listen
As American. Not even Irish. It special to see friends sing about someone they loved. Emotional.
I used to love heavy metal music. But now I'm loving Irish music.
Love love love this
If I only could join them. Love it.
I put my sister in a grave when i was 17 she was 20, I didnn know my heritage at the time. Im a Harp and this song is what i want at my deliverance.
Thank you for sharing, Ireland lost a true legend, RIP Pete
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😂❤️❤️❤️✌️
Pure class / a joiner taught me this song along with the trade , with farming .. it put manners in me for the future .
Thank You. I love You Guys.
Greetings from Poland.
That was heartfelt and beautiful respect 🙏 to a man, highly regarded. Beautiful. Truly special. Cheers.
As close to what I imagine heaven to be like . Absolutely mesmerising 🍀
I am such a noob. Took me forever to realise this. Watched this video a million times. Watched the videos of Shane Macgowans funreal the same amount of time. Only now I realise the people at Shanes funeral are the same people in this video. Great music!
WONDERFUL!!!
This is how you celebrate someone's life!!!! This is what they would have wanted
Visited Ireland over several years in the mid 60's on businuss, in the evening around Dublin, several places like this around Dublin. Goods entertainment. Remember speaking to a couple of American girls, asked were there was a "singing pub".
Amazing singing of Irish history.🇮🇪☘️💚
American here. Scotch Irish ancestry. Brings a tear to my eyes and I cracked open another beer. Bless your heart !
Fantastic really loved this and I have never heard this song before
God bless Eire and their people forever
R.I.P SIR!
❤from Liverpool
Utterly gorgeous song. Talented man Pete RIP
Quality find - please recommend similar hits. Cheers,
What a treat! Makes me miss Ireland.
I remember my Grandad singing this. Rest in piece Charles Scully
What a beautiful word! Comparing to what’s going on right now in Germany…
I'm soo sorry for what Merkel did to your beautiful, amazing cultural astonishing country....! Mein Beileid, sie war eine Verräterin...
Wish I'd been in this pub when this was happening. I'd have stayed the full 12 hours, singing along 🖤.....
I love this so much
