[AJMWriter]

The gentleman singing at 1:26--who is that? I love his voice--it just has this wonderful quality to it that just works so well with the tune. (The guy with the low voice after him also has a gorgeous bass sound...)

[LadyOfNewTomorrow]

@AJMWriter Shane McGowan from Pouges...:)

[highwayman012]

@AJMWriter It's Shane McGowan and after him it's Christy Moore :)

[beezybub]

[MascheranoLFC]

damien dempsey part always makes me laugh, he isnt the best singer even do i like his music

[NolanBryanLynch]

Everyone's in this song! Shane, Sinead, Christy, Paul Hewson, Damien Dempsey, Dubliners, Corr, etc, etc. Awesome.

[Derektrotter08]

is that oul christy in there too ?

[themightycorkman]

I love this song, have done sine the first time I heard it on 2fm about 18 months ago. A great song for a great man. And a wonderful mix of bono type music and the type of singing the Dubliners are so famous for. The Craic is 90!

[SELFproclaimedVIRGIN]

ABDREA CORR KNOWS I AM A VIRGIN

[Derektrotter08]

[theerealdeal]

Bono you're Great!

[ScottInVa1760]

Here's to you... Ronnie Drew!!!

[DemiGohan]

Get up and go at it, five until five

When the whistle says beat it we come back alive

He'll sing to the heavens, he's stormy as hell

And wherever he goes, we'll be wishing him well.

R.I.P Ronnie Drew...your voice shall always sing out loud

[dmcmrugrat]

like coals from a coal bucket.... a gravelled voice that will until judgement day be unmistakeable... God bless you R D

Sad news Ive just heard on the Radio, R.I.P Ronnie

[sineadbigfan]

I can hear Sinead O'Connor's voice but where is she?

[jfdkrli89]

I can't see her singing too but look at this moment: 3.32-3.41 Here's Sinead, yes? Or am I wrong? I'm not Irish nor Sinead's big fan, but I think it's really she in this video. :)

[splorenzo]

Never heard this before... Awesome!

[ire1land]

[Suki40330]

Beautiful song to an awesome human being... Brings a tear to my eye.

Thanks Ronnie, for making our lives better with your music.

[Suki40330]

Here's to you, Ronnie Drew! Our prayers are with ye to be sure. Get well soon. We love you.

[sarahsbackbuddy]

very nice tribute. heres to you ronnie drew!

[the333redwaster]

what macca is to pop music drew is to irish music

[JackassMargera123]

I've Had 16 Great Years of Ronnie Drew. Me, Mam,Nan and Grandad All Sing "Her Hair Hung Over Her Sholder Tied Up With A Black Velvet Band"

A life for a life or a hand for a hand

Trust in the music and strike up the band

The more that we sing the less that we fight

Time and again this is proved to be right

Build you a statue on St. Stephen's Green

No fairer monument ere to be seen

The statue of Ronnie Drew holding the hand

Of a girl with her hair in a black velvet band.

[lgowanlover]

I love this song! I'm not Irish and it isn't my fault! Love Joe Elliot in it...whose actually English, he just lives in Dublin!

[ilovericksavage]

i know i wish he would have sang more but this is still an awesome tribute.

[bombolaser]

negar egin dut! ados nago. Bono ez da benetako irlandarra eta inoiz ez ditu lagundu bere herriaren alde ingelesen aurka borrokatu duten IRAren mutikoak.

gora shanne! laster munduak ezagutuko ditu "shane mcgowan´s basque paddies"

[Seamus451]

Get well soon, Ronnie. You've got youth in ye yet, man. WE're pullin' for ya.

[jackcharltonslad]

What a shit tribute to a great man!

[esskaybar]

[jimpinjess]

[jimpinjess]
