[NoRosesForMe]

Liam is dead?! When? Oh goodness....gawd....I had no idea. Guess Ive been workin the night shift too long or I just had my head up my ass. Good lord I didnt know. :( Grew up with Clancy Bros. records. The old ones. Originals. I remember buying them at "charity"shops and I had no idea who these guys were but I collected records and I was a folkie and they seemed like interesting records....they blew my mind. I was in another world. I cried, laughed, danced...some of the few happy times I had.

These are the guys who shook up Irish music in this country. Thanks to them, we've got Moving Hearts, the Wolfe Tones, the Saw Doctors and more!

Where do you think Dylan got his song "where have you been my blue eyed son" ?

And no, the pubs in Ireland have been destroyed by the Free Democratic Western World.

Too bad

One wonders if the men of the west will ever awake, then.

[lonepalm58]

No, they went to colour in 1966.

[bensilvana]

still black and white in parts of the far west

[youpick4me]

are the pubs in ireland still like this?

[hetrodoxly]

@youpick4me

Not many, most have been turned into "Irish theme pubs" bicycle hanging from the ceiling (what the f^&* is that about), etc.

Dylan said he loved listening to the Clancy brothers singing this, also their ballad 'Brennan on the Moor'. He was influenced by this group whom he knew well in New York in the early 60s. He said he loved the descriptions of the brave, rebel heroes, common in Irish ballads but new to Dylan at the time. This song, like Brennan on the Moor was always being played on Irish Radio in the 60s and sung at parties. That was before the Troubles in 69 made such songs a teeny bit controversial

[bettyswollex]

fair play to ye, me auld flower.you know your stuff

[johndcorr]

TCBATM are featured prominently in Scorcese's Dylan documentary "No Direction Home" (which is AMAZING, by the way), and Dylan expresses admiration for them, at least to the extent Dylan can bring himself to express admiration for anybody or anything. He's known for his reticence.

[myplacenta]

Does anyone know the year this was filmed?

[yuck89]

1962

[colnecrew]

This footage must be priceless!

[beggo321]

This song has the same tune as that sean south song

[yuck89]

disrespectful kant.
