The Dubliners - Newry Highway Man

[seanseamus1]

the best song that he ever sang so sad and yet so irish

[Teddyb1939]

What men of genious were the dubliners, just fancy having the great Luke Kelly & this great Sean Cannon in your group let alone all the others, Pure MAGIC.

[brookwall]

Great song and so well sung and preformed.

[RwpTechAdMin]

good but i prefer toraigh version

[osammyboy93]

@BarryBurtonfan Thanks for response. First time I sang it at a session I was corrected. i think it might be a bit odd for the Newry highwayman to go to Covent Garden to see "the play". Anyway it is a great song and Sean is up there among my favourite singers and the song is now part of my repertoire.

@osammyboy93

Why would it be odd for a Newry man to go to Covent Garden?

It only says he was born in Newry,a Newry man can travel.

[DoctorAbsinth]

[osammyboy93]

Great song ang great singer but I think It's actually an Enlish song "The New Lynn Highwayman"

@7oct1936 is Damolly near Newry? did u know the Murphy family who lived ( i think on Damolly Rd) ? spent many a holiday in ireland, Warren point/Newry, just curious

[FENNYMAN]

I saw him about 30 years ago in Coventry (possibly in the folk club at the Burnt Post). He was superb then and judging from this recording he has continued to be superb!

I saw Sean sing at the White Swan, Fallowfield, Manchester, three or four times in the '90s. What a beautiful voice, and what a character.
