@MsOneiroi77 Seeing as this song is about Liverpool, and Liverpool is the "Capitol of Ireland" as anyone in the 'Pool" will verify, then why should Irish people not like singing about it?
@firstladypatricia seeing as this song is about Salford near Manchester and written about that city and buy a guy with no connection to Ireland you're running on automatic in your assumption.
@firstladypatricia Actually the song has nothing to do with Liverpool. It was written by Ewan MacColl (born in England but of a Scottish family) about his home town of Salford which is now part of Greater Manchester. Of course you are absolutely right though in that there is no reason why Irish people shouldn't enjoy signing it
Okay reading the comments and i want to say who gives a fuck where the song was written okay ! its an amazing song written by a fantastic man and every person who has sang has done the absolute justice so please for the love of god stop !
@mashmusic11235 Mind it isn't actually an Irish song! It was written by Ewan McColl (father of Kirsty and husband of American folk singer Peggy Seeger). His real name was Jimmy Miller and he was born to Scottish parents in Salford, England. The dirty old town mentioned in the song is Salford itself.
@mashmusic11235 I think the song does make sense. He's saying that even in the urban slum environment of 1940s Salford people find love and beauty but that to make people's lives better it needs urban regeneration. When he says "I'll chop you down like an old dead tree" he's talking to the run down parts of Salford itself. There was then massive urban regeneration across all of Britain in the 1960s but it of course didn't cure all the country's ills.
I'm fed up as a northern irishman with plastic paddies and the equivalent loyalists thinking that it is cool to remember 1000 years of british oppression or whatever or that anyone at large in the world gives a shit about the war of words. just grow up and leave your playground rivalry somewhere else.

The "Dirty Old Town" is Salford....written by Ewan McColl who was from Broughton. I'm finally going to see the Dubliners live in Salford in March....only been listening to them since 1968 when my Mum used to play their Seven Drunken Nights to me!
Greetings from a dirty old town in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Fine version of a classic tune. Hank Williams and Woody Guthrie would be proud to call this their own.
Personally i love this version most ...i think patsy is an absolute legend. Got to meet him recently after a charity gig in Galway and hes the soundest bloke goin . Up the dubs:)
Takes me back to the early 50's when I was a young cop patrolling the North Wall, and East wall at night. I can still hear the sounds of shunting trains and cry of scurrying cats. The smell of coal and coal fires.
I have the Pogues version on disk and play it any time I'm on a long road trip.

i reckon you are right mr old git but they could have written this song about stoke on trent...... this is a dirty old town if ever there was one... cheersxxxx
thank god, salford oh old salford, ewan mcoll was writing about salford,not dublin,my old fella (god rest his soul) played this song when he got home from the worsley pub on tatton street in ordsall salford 5 , most weekends,my parents were from cork they told us this song was about r city, salford...
Regardless of who sings on The Dubs, they bear legends! Ronnie, Luke, Ciarán, Patsy and not to forget ALL others! True legends of Music, true legends of mankinds heart!
@IAidox -- with home town advantage and scoundrels on the hill blowing whistles that put the opposing team off (example against tyrone in the quarters at the weekend) you'd think dublin might have won something since 1995...let's see dublin get past the mighty rebels before you count your chickens.

I love this song and would like to play it live with a good driving drum beat. My band is a rock covers band and will not play this song. Boow hoow shall I dump them and start mi own band off ? haha. Check us out on here, type in revenge of the drumsticks. Im on as wigan drummer 2010.
@WIGANDRUMMER210,its about salford thats y they don,t want to play it by the way knocked u out of the challenge cup 9yrs n out yeah.was and still stand as royal scrachtings salford fan,,,
Doesn't this song unite those of us brought up in such towns; Manchester, Leeds Liverpool, Hull etc. British or Irish? People are the same - governments divide.
@lumbago12 i agree...we are all one species...only problem is why should one culture suffer at the hands of another....maybe its just natural selection and all that...but just doesnt feel right :)
his name is patsy watchorn, he was with the dublin city ramblers but joined the dubliners in 05...the guy is an absolute legend, what a version of this song
love this song. the band that was in work on sunday did a cover and oh my god its was brill so it was. now i haven't stopped listening to the Dubliners since!! :)
