Ronnie Drew - An Irish Legend (2/5) 

The best night of my life was attending a concert by the Dubliners.

I Loved and Love The Dubliners. Had The Honour to meet them in Person once. I will NEVER forget this Night and all their concerts i have visited

The guys of the Dubliners were very much ambassadors of the Irish way of thinking, is what I feel! And I'm from Norway...

Ronnie Drew is a legend in every sense of the word!

The Mursheen Durkin performance on the Ed Sullivan Show is something I quite regularly watch on RU-vid!🤗🧔🎙️🎻🎸🎼🎵🎶🇮🇪

ronnie drew a true legend god be good to him.. rest in peace ronnie

Thank you for showing the world us Irish are a beautiful people who were severely treated like notta on our own of shamrock faugh a ballagh

Ronnie was unique in every respect.

An enjoyable documentary to watch. Very interesting about those "Rare Ould Times".

'Ledzeppelin of Irish folk music' what a title.

Thank you

Brought up on the Bridie Gallagher, the Clancy's and the Dubliners and Furies and Pogues and Francis Black and Christie Moor, the Waterboys and on an on. Many gone now - but they lived! Not least SM, may he rest in peace, celebrated today. There has been other amazing music - Oliver Mtkuduzi (Todii - Zimbabwe) Brenda Fassie (Vulindela) and Sakala Bothers (Londole Zambia) - music of their time and place as important to their communities as any. But the Irish music (and the people who nurture and share it with us - Finbar of the pipes!) feeds our soul and wherever you are and whoever you are and what you achieve (or don't) - it is Ireland - and there is nothing quite like it. Saw the Dubliners and Furies live - wish I had seen Liam and the band and Sean - don't delay ...

what a gentleman..

Thanks a million for this!

The Dubliners were, loathed, hated and despised by the British establishment because they brought people together and for that they were feared.

Gerry Ryan RIP xx

That interviewer should let the man talk and shut his mouth.

This is very interesting.

Brill !!!

Hahaha! This is the explanation behind the line from John Sheahan's tribute to Ronnie Drew, a poem called "Ronnie's Heaven." "[You are] leaving behind the 3 imponderables that tortured you...What is life? What is art? And WHERE the FUCK is Barney?!"

Who.T.F disliked this?

Ah Gerry, will you shut up for a minute and let the man speak!

I may have asked you this a long time ago...but do you still have this movie file? I'd like it for my collection.

Maybe someone who personally could relate to Seven Drunken Nights. "Who owns that head upon the bed where my old head should be" etc

Does anyone else feel the fellow interviewing Ronnie is being a little condescending to the old guy?

That's the late Gerry Ryan...R.I.P. and that was just the way he was

"you just keep looking up" "like the coliseum." Well yea prolly buddy, seeing as how it's never had a roof
