  • Brilliant song , but i wonder what the "Ballet Group" tagging was all about back then ?

    Strange

  • the "Ballet group" thing was just a mistake, of course they were called the "Ronnie Drew Ballad Group" on all the other occasions.

  • @howdofolks

    Dance Instruction school used "Ronnie Drew and the Dubliners" to draw a crowd to sign people up for dancing lessons. English dancing, Irish dancing and a ballet group. :-)

  • "oh father dear i often hear you speak of erin's isle
