Luke you left us far too soon, but what a legacy you left. Thank you Luke, I'm sure you're in Heaven, not on a cloud playing a harp but drinking a guinness and singing in a pub.

[Spoofmaker2000]

I love the Dubliners! I am only 16 as well.

[relimes]

What are the chords to this song?

[balloch]

I love the way when people criticise the Dubs they get beaten down, who watches a video just to run it down anyway? Come on Lukey, I'd sell my left arm to sing like this.

[paloulou1]

Once heard this song is from the 17 century -Mmmmm-not sure anyone know.

Everyone was born a Luke Kelly fan. Some people just havent realized it yet.

[anatefcan13]

My grandma didnt like this song until she heard Lukes version, she said he made it sound charming instead of corny:)

Luke Kelly, (November 17, 1940 - January 30, 1984) So this photo is between November 17, 1963 and November 16, 1964. Does the song date from this time too? *****

[dubliner85]

You are right about the the date of the photo, the song was released a couple of years later in 1967...

[parakarter]

Thanks! Aye, that's how he looked when I was seeing him perform in Aberdeen

[parakarter]

At a wild guess, tinyviking, I would say around 24 years old.

[dubliner85]

that's a great guess, he actually was 23 when this was taken.

[tinyviking]

How old was he in that photo? Hes beautiful :) not that he wasnt stunning as he got older too :D
