[xthecometx]

anyone know where this was?

[patrickspoint]

@xthecometx... This is live from the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin in 2002. Their 40th anniversary concert. Listen to the one uploaded by "AndreasSU," I think the quality is better.

[xthecometx]

anyone know where this was?

[Wanch1e1ady]

I love the fact that folk still ask what the crowd are chanting after the Dubliners. No dou bt you will explain again.

[blm22859]

The one and only Paddy Reilly - one of the all-time greats of traditional Irish music. Last I heard he is retired in Naples, FL.

[jallen9343]

does anyone know who that is singing? and does he still tour with the dubs?

[gillwilkinsongw]

@jallen9343 This is Paddy Reilly who was the lead singer for the Dubliners at the time of this recording. He left The Dubliners in 2005, sadly and was replaced by Patsy Watchorn. They are touring the country at the moment,and are appearing at the Theatre Royal Norwich on March 12th ( a few seats left) where I shall be seeing them. Yippee!

Just a pity this ballad has been taken over (but not owned!) by certain fitba supporters (so called!) here in Scotland!

@hhalez - Low lie the fields of Athenry

Where once we watched the small free birds fly

(Oh baby let the free birds fly)

Our love was on the wing

(Sinn Fein)

We had Dreams and songs to sing

(The IRA)

Now it's loney round the fields of Athenry

@hhalez In the chorus it's: Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly (ooh baby let the free birds fly) Our love was on the wing (Sinn Féin) We had dreams and songs to sing (The I.R.A.) It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry and later: Nothing matters Mary if we're free Against the famine, and the crown (fuck the crown)

[deosullivan3]

Is that Paddy Reilly? My God, but that's lovely!

[ginnymartin1]

@deosullivan3

Paddy Reilly is the the singer on this. The song is from 2002, their 40th reunion. Hope Paddy and Jim will be joining the group in 2012 for the 50th reunion. (All of us are too young to be remembering how long they have been together!)

[MyCrazyhorse11]
