I'll Tell Me Ma - Ronnie Drew of The Dubliners

[Akfilm92]

Thank you for this wonderful upload

[kevvy1908]

@Akfilm92 My pleasure - I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed videoing it and watching it myself - it was a great concert!

[Rattnuff]

HE is handsom HE is pretty (were ;(  )

[Danny30011980]

This is kinda precious. We'll never be hearing him play again...neither Luke Kelly. Great to see that nice vids keep them alive -or at least the memories and their songs- on here

[kevvy1908]

@Danny30011980 Thanks for your thoughtful comment - much appreciated!

[BBBBoylan]

GO ON RONNIE! DOIN US PROUD YA WERE! PROUD TO BE IRISH CAUSE OF U! RIP!

[LuckyLukeHogan]

who were the original members of the dubliners? are they all dead or are a few of them still kickin around?

[circussal1]

@LuckyLukeHogan Ronnie Drew, (singing here) Luke Kelly, Ciaran Bourke, Barney McKenna and John Sheahan are generally thought of as the original Dubliners, though the line up has changed over the years, with various members going, and coming back again, and new members appearing as and when. Ronnie, Ciaran and Luke have all left us. RIP

[knoxinator]

just a pure genius and a huge inspiration the world over.

[Burncourtable]

Ronnie Drew opened a Irish bar in heaven. You can drink as much as you want and never get hungover

[sneakyam]

@Burncourtable there is only one bar - it's five miles long

[petcemetary78]

@Burncourtable that's what I think, too!

[koelnerwutzmann]

@kevvy1908, first I love irish music, furcoat means, i loved a turkish girl, her has been Bahar in english spring, i loved her, but she wears a very expensive furcoat, at this time a bad signal for me, i had been divorced before.

A beautiful girl, bahar but too early.

Good bless Ireland.

[koelnerwutzmann]

die leben wohl ewig, als ich mit Bahar vor 30 jahren im ICC in Berlin war, spielten schon immer noch. Immer noch gut + man muß keinen teuren Pelzmantel anziehen. du warst eine Traumfrau

[kevvy1908]

@koelnerwutzmann Ich verstehe Sie nicht. I am not able to fully understand or translate your comment. The fur-coat and the Dreamwoman are too much for my schoolboy German.

[MrMolosk]

@kevvy1908 Sorry for my bad english-skills. In the main he just said, that the dubliners seem to live forever and he saw them in berlin 30 years ago. And he thinks they are still playing good.

[Benjarik]

@kevvy1908, dass musst wahrscheinlich nicht verstehen, ich, als Deutscher, verstehe es selber noch nicht mal. - Sei nicht traurig darüber!

@ kevvy1908 that probably do not have to understand that I, as a German, it not even understand myself. - Do not be sad!

[Kubrick1304]

@kevvy1908 German is my native language and I don't understand this too. ;-)

[5tonyvvvv]

@kevvy1908 Ronnie Drew is a LEGEND!! GODBLESS YOU R.I.P

Ronnie had one of those voices like Johnny Cash or Freddy Mercury where whenever you hear them sing, it makes you believe they were born to sing. RIP, Ronnie, from your biggest American fan.

[SirCoughsalot]

I wish I could have seen him before he died.

[jameshlee17]

So do I. Well, when we go to Heaven, I'll be the first to meet him and probably I'll sing with him and Luke and Ciaran.

[gleesoneoin]

what we need to do is internalise the values and principles that Ronnie lived by and then we can truly honour his memory

[jimmylad53]

we love you ronnie!

RIP dearest old Ronnie you will be genuinely missed and the whole which you have now lef tin irish music will most definately be felt and one other thing that is certain is that your legend will live on forever and the music you have made will bring joy to the ears of listeners for generations to come!!...

As a musician from Ireland in Ireland I have to be hoenst and say I was never a fan of irish trad music but this man...when I heard he died...I was struck with shock and a deep sadness...the man was down to earth and all the good things we Irish pride ourselves on...I will miss you Ronnie...another part of our souls has died...

[IdleAl]

[jesscheckin]

Maybe

"Someone who needs no introduction"

[jesscheckin]

I think the pics and sound are out of sync, suspect the crowd noise, and probably sound system were not helping. - Maybe he (Mike Hanrahan)was having an Off Day?

- M Kearney (not a musician)

[karl1579]

wa a legend im glad hes gettin better

[ChRiSBmX1990]

old music like this i think is like 10 x better than modern stuff

[Sean2001]

That was a great day. I went to Ronnie Scott Jazz Club later that day for another St Patrick's concert. Ronnie Drew was in the audience and was persuaded to get on stage for a couple of songs.

[jimmylad53]

Who is he singing with?

[kevvy1908]

He was not given an introduction, although he obviously deserves one.

[jesscheckin]

I Think that's (ex Stockton's Wing) Mike Hanrahan, who was supporting Ronnie on his "Ronnie I hardly Knew You" tours around that time.

- M Kearney
