I'd never seen this one before . . . well, before just now. I'd only heard recordings of it. This is . . . amazing. John's playing, as always, was just so stellar. And Ronnie's voice . . . -sigh- Thank you for sharing this lovely gem.
Niamh Kavanangh does a beautiful version with the Dubliners on her album, Flying Blind. Not everything is great on it but look out for the guitar solo in White City Of Lights.
another dub gone to play in heaven,might not be such a place to go knowing ronnie and luke are there to play for the angels,they gave us hope and joy and much much more,me heart aches for the loss to irish music,thanx for the music,one of irelands greatest tragedies losing ronnie and luke,never will we hear their likes again,thanks for the video great song by a great man. R.I.P.ronnie and luke..

@gerrymcg82, thanks for pointing out the link. Saw the Dubliners in Motherwell (Scotland) town hall in the early nineties, memorable night.

I never considered Ronnies voice to be "lovely" but this song changed my mind!
On this and "Parting Glass" he sounds undeniably beautiful.
