The Dubliners - The Last of the Great Whales

Dear Dubliner85, thanks for all the great clips you have uploaded, i've put them all on a special playlist, so i can enjoy them every day!!!
Greathings fom Holland.

Don't people get that these words are meant for them?

I love the words to this song by Andy Barnes as it is so sad that the Japanese fishing industry continues to slaughter these beautiful mammals for their oil,meat and whalebones. They claim it is for scientific research but most of the whale meat ends up being consumed in restaurants. This song makes me feel guilty being a human being and this song told from a lone surviving whales point of view brings tears to my eyes. I know nothing about Andy Barnes so is there anyone who can tell me about him

I like Seans voice alot but I'm more of a luke fan.
They all have different qualities to their voices to suit different songs.

this song is incredible

sorry killiekentman,sean does a great version of this song but has nobody told you-no-one is or was as good as LUKE KELLY!!

cant find lukes bit any info ?

Luke kelly (R.I.P.) had already passed away before they recorded it.

This is such a brilliant song. It's even better on the bagpipes...check out "Last of the Great Whales" by the Royal Irish Regiment. Fantastic!

oh this is SO sad, he does sound quite mournful. thanks Sir for the share I had never hrerd this one before, its lovely but sure gets the point across.
