thanks kelly for posting this rare clip.Has this been shown on BBC4-if so i've missed it

[kellyoneill]

Hey,

Yeah it was on bb4,

The Chieftains were on before the Dubs,

if you do a google search for bbc iplayer and then search irish Folk you will be able to see it :)

sorry if its a silly question but where's ronnie?

[kellyoneill]

He left the group to go solo for a few years.

Thanks Kelly, great clip! I would guess this video was shot around 1978. Have you got any idea when and where?

[kellyoneill]

It was 1977 in Southport :)

The fist part of that piece from John Sheahan is called "The Wise Maid" made famous by Joe Cooley. Check him out on You Tube.

Lukes voice seems a bit funny here, not his best performance

[funkwolf1]

@ShuckThatJive and wise maid which is the beginning reel

[ShuckThatJive]

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, but in case someone isn't sure, the song at the beginning is known by one of (or maybe all three?) names: Doherty's Reel/Down the Broom/The Honeymoon Reel :)

@choaticman11 yes

[choaticman11]

Is that Jim McCann with the big afro playing guitar?

[zarthered]

Luke Kelly is larger than life!
