The Corries?!? Not a chance, sorry. It may be a Scottish song but no Scot (or anyone for that matter) will ever sing this song like Luke. Makes the hairs stand on the back of my neck.... every time.

[joeygsmom]

@cormaccrawley I do like the Corries. but this is nearly orgasmic ;-)

[rojblake82]

I still prefer the COrries version of Peggy Gordon, to Luke Kelly's version and although Luke does his best he is no match for the Corries version of this song.

[deltaflow]

Luke = god

[irishgeal1]

luke sounded the same live as from a recording studio where they can make singers sound better than they really are, but luke never needed help from that department.

[Tamita83]

My Dad drank with these lads back in the day and he had the upmost respect for Luke.

[bongojago]

Do we all have a peggy somewhere in our past? Know the sentiments.

[rclarked]

@bongojago we do and some not far enough in the past.

[eirewalker]

[zemboulannie]

j'ai retrouvé cette chanson ...

comme c'était magnifique dans les pubs de Dublin...

[rodrigonavarrodiaz]

I love to hear this old and rare recordings where we can enjoy hearing Luke Kelly introducing the song.

For me the songs became closer.

[Seraldx]

Super voice bravo !

[pasarfan]

The song they played before this one was

McAlpine's Fusiliers, sung by Ronnie. The album Live at the Royal Albert Hal is still available on e-Bay. Both on LP and CD. Have a look!

Kind regards from Holland.

Luke Kelly's wailing voice on Peggy Gordon gives me the shivers. I love this song, and I just keep on finding wonderful interpretatons like this one and newfiefiddler's.

That's it...i've heard enough...Luke Kelly is god of Irish Music.

I love how the best music can make a person cry, try listening to any version of con ti partiro and not feeling something! Same feeling different tune here.

[avelbreizh]

Magnifique et intemporel.

[parakarter]

Wow! - does that not make your hair stand on end? Sung the way the song is meant to be sung - so much passion and feeling in that voice of Luke's.

Love it!
