My Dad always played the Dubliners and I remember this one distinctly from when I was a kid. Just this afternoon, Dad and my brother were playing this on the guitars while we sang and we're from South London lol. The music of today has just a negative, dark base and this is just jolly and gets you smiling wanting to dance! Love it
Have there ever been musicians like these five lads working together in their prime? Amazing! I go weak at the knees when I hear this stuff. Blows my mind.
In merseyside in 1975, i was 10. Irish grandparents x4, mum had 4 sisters n losadsa cousin then. Me dad also had 4 sisters, loadsa more cousins. Irish music all day every day back then..
My dad visited Cork in 1997, brought home CD labeled The best of Dubliners, 20 songs on it including this one as well as the irish metal flute. I loved those songs from the moment I've heard them.
Since I was little I have listened to this group, I love Irish music. This song is one of my favorites, it brings me a lot of joy, I never get tired of listening to it. The Dubliners is a wonderful group.
@@TheDublinersOfficial are you as a group still touring? I really started listening to your music a couple years ago. Your version of whiskey in the jar is the best version I’ve heard of by far!
At the 1:26 mark he missed an entire verse - where he goes for his rapier but Jenny had taken it - then tries his pistol but his charges had been soaked by Jenny.
There’s some evidence that they went further. I think what may have stopped them going further is that there wasn’t financial gains in America just subsistence farming,
Hi Birk. We wish it was better too however we felt that it should be made available to The Dubliners fans as it is one of only a couple of colour performance we have of the band from this early period.
