Luke Kelly Kelly The Boy From Killane

[irishgeal1]

kelly from killane, kelly from liverpool, kelly from dublin, the three finest kellys around.

[ballockybill]

I live five minutes from where John Kelly is buried. This is not fiction.

[PD1981]

RIP Luke Kelly. Such wonderful talent and such a beautiful voice -combined with such a compassionate soul -we will be lucky to ever to see again

[Gaelforced]

His voice was so strong and inspirational then, and still is, wonderful song, Most countries go to war over boundaries real....or imaginary, the Irish go to war for the sheer love of it ! as Luke was saying mischievously, I take sabbaticals from You Tube, but, I always return to “kellyoneills” site of spiritual redemption, more power to her Celtic heart.....

[locomotive1804]

My Dad used to sing this. He learned it from his Grandad

[KildareDan]

Hi,what recording is this from?I thought I had all the stuff,but this recording is a new one to me.

[locomotive1804]

My Dad taught me this song. It's taken me a long time to appreciate what it was actually was about.
