Luke Kelly (with the dubliners) barnyards of delgaty

[irkofan]

If you listen really close during the last stanza, you can hear Ciaran's sense of humour as Luke is singing the verse: "Now my candle is burnt out, my snotter's fairly on the wane . . ." "NOT TRUE!" Hahahaha!

[guarunteedubliner]

Love this one!

[REDGuerrilla92]

Absolute Musical Hero - My Mam loved the Dubliners - I grew up with the Dubliners - Luke was a musical God!!!

[IrishRepublicanA]

[paolovf]

I actually can't stop listening to this

[IrishRepublicanA]

@paolovf it´s like a drug

[Chomuno]

Godly godlike performance! I want to do a godly dance when I hear this song from the God's own house!

[SANGEO212]

Delgaty Castle I believe is the ancestral home of the Clan Hay in Aberdeenshire Scotland. Workers going to local fairs usually went to obtain employment from local farmers where they would be 'feed' (paid a fee for a period of work) to work on local farms as horsemen, or orramen(general labour) These vtimes were long before unionised labour and workers were often ill treated .

[cbrowne81]

da mans a legend best ever

[HrothgarOfHeorot]

This is actually a Scottish workers' song. It's about the goings on leading up to and during a local fair. Very good stuff. RIP, Luke.

[malinkysteve]

Recorded at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh (1964 I think), also features the Corries, Ray and Archie Fisher and I think Nadia Cattouse. The LPs come up occasionally on eBay and there are usually some on GEMM

[bettyswollex]

[lrishRebeI]

[Naiyru665]

I understand nearly nothing, but i love it :D

thx

[Deathwysh]

@Naiyru665 Its a scottish song, nobody who speaks english can understand it.

[moominpic]

@Deathwysh Funny, I speak English and i understand it. I think you'll find more than a few Scots don't understand it all.

[stanibol]

@moominpic funny, I'm a Jerry and I understand the Irish toora loora and yippey yihey also. ;-)

[Ruzdur]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome, thank you!

[KingOfTheCowards]

hello all, does anyone know which Dubliners album/EP/compilation this recording is taken from? many thanks.

[kellyoneill]

[Danny77Farrell]

very nice(and rare) rendition of the song, thanks a lot :)

danny

[erchieplum]

I've never heard Dubliners sing this before either,Old blind dogs do a great version as well - mind you Doric is their first language I suppose :)

[parakarter]

So-ooo true, Kelly! So true! Gaelforce10 - you got it in one! :o)

[Gaelforce10]

...it is that...but I would listen to him sing from a telephone directory.....

[kellyoneill]

my kind of person!

when luke opens his mouth you just know its going to be amazing regardless what it is.

[kateypie1]

hey kelly long time no speak! this one just sets me up for the day ... im still not bored of any of lukes songs ... what a truly special man he was

[Gaelforce10]

...this is first time I've heard the magical sing this one....just wonderfull...they ever fill my heart..

[kellyoneill]

amazing isnt it?

[Shanemac88]

Yeah, I've heard this by the Clancy's too... but not for about 15 years.

[parakarter]

Luke probably learnt this song whilst touring and performing with The Ian Campbell Folk Group, regular visitors to Aberdeen, as Ian was an 'Aiberdeen loon' himsel'.

Luke often performed in Aberdeen as a solo artist. Luke makes any song his own. (Aye the lads look gie dapper wi' their suits on!!) Top notch version! :o)

[gaelicstorm]

the men look smashing in their outfits!

[gaelicstorm]

i didnt know he did this one! good rendition!

[kellyoneill]

I love this could listen to it forever lol

[spudseamus]

ppl dont realise Luke did a lot of his early stuff while traveling all over England -- and you can hear it in some of his later stuff with the Dubliners-- ahh yes he was a true troubadoor

[parakarter]

Another fantastic job by Luke singing in the Doric - the local tongue here in the North East of Scotland. What a **super**star**!!

[CTmania]

Its amazing..he does it like it's his mother tongue, and delivered at that speed, that's quite a feat!

[kellyoneill]

He's Amazing!!!

[CTmania]

This is FANTASTIC Kelly!! Luke Kellys version is brilliant..much better than the Clancy Brothers (which i had only ever heard before).

Is this available on any cd?? Id like to get a hold of a copy or mp3.

[kellyoneill]

i love lukes version its amazing, i could send it to ya if ya like mate.

[kateypie1]

[Jl200]
