So beautiful!! How fortunate we are on this little island to have had singers and musicians of your kind. Other worldly sounds that resonate now as strong as they did when you all those years ago in Paddy Donoghue's. Green 💚 music 🎶 🎵 🎶
Only John Sheehan left on this stage, can't begin to imagine the session going on upstairs with the rest of the dubs, God bless each and everyone of them, hopefully, when it's my turn I'll get to have a gargle with them.
The most romantic song by The Dubliners sung by the most unromantic voice - Ronnie Drew - me favorite voice of the band. This song suits his rough voice so much ♥ Thank you for sharing and even more for not cutting the cute girl off ♥
I'd been sittin' there just frozen and listening, had I had the chance... Fantastic... The were all great at this performance - as they'd been many times before and after. I just chose this one for myself to remind Ronnie tonight... 10 years gone since he left - did you admit somehow for yourself?
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.
A sober black shawl hides her body entirely Touched by the sun and the salt spray of the sea But down in the darkness a slim hand so lovely Carries a rich bunch of red roses for me Her petticoat simple and her feet are but bare And all that she has is but neat and scanty But stars in the deep of her eyes are exclaiming I carry a rich bunch of red roses for thee No arrogant jewel sits enthroned on her forehead Or swings from a white ear for all men to see But jewelled desire in a bosom so pearly Carries a rich bunch of red roses for me
