[ireallylikebaileys]

@RememberALF It's John Sheehan of the Dubliners. They're in the audience. Check out another video from this episode called The Clancy Brothers & The Dubliners.

[urbankepa]

I was 4 month old when thye're performin' that :)

[92eire]

another great band thats part of our heritage.

[JonnywithaJ]

4:15 is my favorite part

[stockings2010]

very good song

[jb66ss396]

awesome

[supsupese]

the two dislikes must be part of some religion that is against punch, probably mormons...

[tamony821]

"Just lay me down in my native peat . . . . ." May God continue to bless the Clancys!

[shocks512]

[Jameson10314]

What wonderful decent fellows!

[buster1o1o]

pure class

[bollix13]

where's Tommy's sweater?!

[Thonolan]

@bollix13

Yeah, that's the first thing I noticed. Where is Tommy 's sweater?

[openedup09]

That unique sound makes you listen.Its that Irish tune and you don`t have to be Irish to listen.Good tune.

[conorryancon]

wonderful ambassadors for Ireland .I was privileged to see them perform in sydney 1963 .They blazed the trail ,and set a very high standard.Lest we forget .

[ArkRed1]

May God grant them peace and comfort. They were a class act. I miss them a great deal.

[chasman19651888]

ahh they are all gone ,like me youth

[Logan63b]

Sure do miss these guys!! I was lucky enough to get their autographs after a concert.

While waiting for our ride, we were alone with the Clancy brothers and Tommy Makem as they were waiting for their cab. ( that was many moons ago) Amazing, when you think about it now! I can't recall the exact conversation, but I was sure impressed. God Bless them all!

[Patel10314]

Great video but I thought the Clancy brothers for whatever reasons didn't exist in the 1970's. We know our good friend Tommy Makem still performs to this day but I thought that the Clancy brothers passed into their great reward in the late 1960's. Hey Youtubers please give me the right info.

[fess64]

@Patel10314

Tommy Makem died 2 or 3 years ago, Liam was the last o go ...he passed in Dec 2009.

[Jordan3445]

Sir, Tommy passed in 2007. It was a sad day.

[Dogote82]

i'm trying to find a song in particular called Dirty old town. no it isnt Liam's version. i know the difference. the one i'm looking for is sung by a man who sounds a LOT like Paddy..... i had this song years ago but it was lost and i never learned the name and looking for that one is like looking for a needle in a hay stack.... too many versions and none sound like the one i want! anyone have any clues? know what i am talking about? please!!

[Devmeister91]

try Ewan MacColl?

[Dogote82]

i did, and ONE version sounded kinda similar but it was just a sound sample so i couldnt hear the whole thing. seems like the version i had had a solo guitar in it. maybe Ewan has more than one version too

Thanks though :)

[LBURKE255]

@Dogote82 Written by Ewan MacColl.  I guess you might mean Luke Kelly of the Dubliners.

[Dogote82]

i've listened to Luke Kelly's and thats not the one i'm after. his voice is a higher pitch and loud. the one i had was a soft deep voice. very melancholy sounding.

[irkofan]

Are you talking about the one by the Pogues?

[Dogote82]

i dont think its them. Shane McGowan is pretty unique. but i'll check it out. i dont remember hearing their version.

[shnos]

I know the song you mean but sorry dont know where to find it

[TheJoetowngirl]

I know the song you mean; I have an LP somewhere with the song on it. I'll see if I can turn up more info!

[Dogote82]

that would be so awesome!

[MrIrishfreedom]

is it shane macgowen ur after no???

[mclr60]

Paddy almost always sang 'Jug of Punch' and he used to sing 'A jug of this' and I know there are others he sang lead for.

[madmurph00]

paddy reily is the last of this age of Irish folk singer branded into me by my mother vacuming to this music

[safaripop]

So Sad--they were the best and now they're all gone.

[MissionMoment]

The next rousing concert will be in the green fields of Heaven. Looking forward to it! God bless the Boys!

[saullouis]

All gone. They were just terrific.

[debbieobrien123]

slainte go liam. its like loosing an uncle.x

[Hokita00]

Wish I was lucky to see them live..... These guys are Ireland!

[ForBoston523]

usually tommy sings this

[IrishandFolkmusic]

Tommy never sings this, This is Paddy's one you will find he sung it on their albums from 1959 - 1995

[ForBoston523]

i have a couple of cds that has tommy singing it, theres a compilation with the dubliners and the best of tommy makem

[IrishandFolkmusic]

He may have song it on a solo album but with the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. He never sang the lead once.

[jimrobmicah]

Man...I had no thought what they were saying till I was dink off my arse. Now that I have, I can understand them perfectly. This explains always drunk.

[nuclearbigwill]

I'd like to be buried stood up in the earthworks at Castle Rising myself.

In one of those 64 foot high embankments. Surely I'll never be so graceful but it is a way to go.

[STEVEISGOD]

heart warming tune

[limerickandproud]

my old man's song... good man Dad!

[paulcozzz]

(k0ybe) at the time the dubliners were to there left out of cam shot

[k0ybe]

who's playing the tin-whistle?

[Malachy777]

they're that good...lol

[heybeeg]

John Sheahan of the Dubliners. The Dubliners were in the audience and John did some lovely whistle work to accompany them. For once, we get to hear the whistle AND Tommy Makem sing - great, isn't it?!!

[k0ybe]

Already thought that it was John

Yeah, it's a really great performance :D

[Youngcavalier]

Learned it in school many many years ago.

[jeff61177]

what exactly is "punch" ?

[ginett101]

something you drink and makes you feel like someone punched you in the face

[shnos]

lmao true

[CompVid101]

Well, whiskey punch in Ireland is a drink made from Irish whiskey (of course), brown sugar, cloves, lemon slices, and hot water. You put the cloves in the lemons, the lemons in the whiskey, and our the hot water over it, and mix in the brown sugar - serve it with a ladle to cups or just stick the cup in a swill some out. Very refreshing in the winter.

[diffdrum1]

listen to their intro

[whaler317]

you don't need the cloves.... or the hot water either!! ;)

[jakebot88]

hahahaha i love the irish drinking songs cd. i've been singing all those songs with my parents and grandpa since i was little

[josparkes]

Very entertaining !

Jeeze man, I really love Scottish music. I think they're from Inverness.

Great Scottish brogue.

[kevinblack68]

they are irish friend if you like folk check out the corries scottish music the clancys and tommy are best folk band in history

[kmikl]

I Hope you're joking... ;) Brogue is Irish, Scots have a lilt (if they're lucky).

[cernernut]

I love the way they do this song!!!

[horanboy1]

great song. Luke Kelly does a quality version

[Ichaboid]

That is magnificent. My fav Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem song.

[seanogwalsh]

what a talented family they were

[shilo39]

These are the Lads that put Irish Music on American TV, No other Nation can beat us for for bringing Happiness to around the World.

I have all the Original LPs.

Pity we are not in the World Cup..

Irish Soccer Fans are a Joy to behold.

[Richcelt]

Do you have the whole show start to finish? I'd love to see it.

[MonetteBooks]

They're very dear to me!

[captnwinky]

Who ever said white men can't dance.Just having some fun .That was super thanks for posting!.

[jesscheckin]

Be Fair, they were getting on a bit when this was done! Look at some of the old Black and White footage, Tommy can step it up some, although Michael Flatley has nothing to be sdcared of, ( - he'd've been about three when Tommy was in his pomp)

Yes You're right, great posting - and Paddy's signature tune to boot.

[Joshua12345]

Age didn't figure really, sounds fine to me, not that much different from the 60s. Tommy M looks like he's 'outside' of things brotherly though, would have been nice if he'd have separated the three, but, no matter, great rendition, sad to think 3 down, very sad.

[bondie45]

Thanks for posting very well done
