My darling Aunty Anne is buried next to Ronnie (and I nearly fell on his grave during the burial.) I always like to think with ❤ of the singalong their spirits must have in that graveyard.
This is why I love CZcams. What a wonderful video. If you love history, Ronnie, the dubs, or any of those three things, this video will bring a big stupid smile to your face. I know it brought one to mine.
When I was younger I had a CD that my Granny got free in the paper which was just Ronnie Drew reading Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Happy Prince’. I fell asleep listening to it on my cd player many a time growing up.
Lovely start with the Dubliners playing that lovely Slip Jig - The Rocky Road to Dublin. Lived in Dublin for 50 odd years and worked in the ‘Corpo’ , County Council and finally Fingal County Council.

I'm really unsure, as to why Ireland came to own the name, the emerald isle.

Splendid documentary.. this brought laughter and a few tears .. Throughout most of this wretched covid, I'm reading as much as I'm able about the Irish people and their history. Walking along the Liffey and seeing the sights of Dublin is still on my bucket list. Rest In Peace, Ronnie.

Same here.. I must have watched the Luke Kelly documentary " The Performer " over 20 times already.. I am from Newcastle in the North of England and I love the Irish folk.
I visted Dublin once and the bus driver told me not to bother paying since I didn't have a Punt coin - he said don't worry son. That's what Dubliners are like. Also if you have never been, pay a trip to Donegal and Letterkenny especially if you're into the local music. What a place, white sandy beaches, flowing green fields, mountains and some of the tallest cliffs in Europe.
@Stevo! 2005, though we were actually staying in a cottage in Falcarragh. Beautiful place and people. Pub landlord spotted my Bolton accent straight away "How's big Sam?" he said haha. I hadn't a clue who he was referring to at first. They're all mad about English football especially the Northern teams. Locals on Tory Island all had number plates with Liverpool players names on. I'd love to go back sometime.
I spent my childhood in Dublin, 1952-1959. First in Rathfarnham, then Blackhall Place and Park Gate Street. Loved O'Connell St during Christmas and An Toastal -- Slán gach duine!

☘What a beautiful video to be shared & to enjoy! Words cannot describe what I feel within for Dublin & for Éire. The rich history, the overall beauty, the amazing stories, legends, folklore & storytellers, the fun spirit, the humble nature abound, warmth & kindness of the Irish people, just priceless, absolutely priceless!! Thank you for sharing & for taking us down a truly enjoyable, but also touching & evocative memory lane, of the good old days in Dublin city.🌈
Oh how I love this film, a fantastic city and my favourite group singinv. I moved to Co Galway from UK in May last year and should have made the move years ago.
Listening Irish folk songs, I'm so surprised how much I can understand those feelings in the lyrics. Especially, I almost burst in tears when I listen "The fields of athenry". Because It's the very story of my grandparents... So many years of agony yet Irish people never gave up the eager for the independence, they fought, they struggled, finally they got what they longed for... As a Korean, the country where once was colonized by Japanese empire, have a sympathy for Irish people. Japanese took my grandfather to Osaka and forced him to labor at the aircraft factory in very end of ww2 era. Many of Korean elders have these experience. He used to tell the story with full of anger, always ends up how lucky you youngsters are living in the independent nation. I'm actually surprised how similar the feelings are between those of Irish and Korean. I can't stop listening Irish folk song nowadays plus I bought a tin whistle! Really hope to visit Ireland and fair Dublin city after all these covid situation is over. Éirinn go Brách.
RIP Ronnie you Dublin legend you. I seen you out side the pub on the keys at the end of bridge foot street when i was a kid in town for the day with my Ma and Da it was a moment that will stay with me forever Dublin forever Ronnie
I was 18 the year this was produced. I loved my capital city then. I still do of course but looking at the footage here I realize things were a lot clearer to me then to now. It was a good time. perhaps a new beginning, as well as as end of sorts too maybe. Roche, U2 Enya, Jack's Army, Glenroe, Michelle Rocca ... .I remember long drives home to Dub from the west as a lad with The Dubliners being played on tape in the car. it got into you, and that was good. Great post, thanks.
I'd give anything to go back in time, even if for just one day, to spend precious time with & among the Irish greats of that period in history & of course, to walk around this superb & historic city as it once was.
Frank trust me it was a much harder, poverty stricken, dangerous and intolerant place to live than now. This film was promoting the Dublin Millenium and there was a huge push at the time to show Dublin in the best light possible. I was a 16 year old Dubliner in 1988.
Always remember me dad bringing us in to hetor greys on a saturday morning in his hillman hunter listening to the dubliners, great memories of Dublin thanks for the upload 👍👍
Haha, i remember that too, Where was Hector Greys? Liffey St or somewhere? I remember going there with my dad as though it was the only toy shop in Ireland.. and you know? ..i think it probably was. Pre-toys'r us or Smyths days for sure. And dd your da bring you across the river to the Dandelion market? Awesome place that should have NEVER been torn down. Great times.. dangerous, but great.. I'm pretty sure you bought bangers from a guy on Henry street like I did.. :) we are of an age bro...
@@johnc3403 haha sorry for the late reply but yeah my god all of the above ,such great times my house was like the snapper,, too many of us ha sure wasn't that the way back then with large families my dad was from summer hill and love his old stories of when he was a kid ,,he told me once the old horse and cart use to come selling Coal, the man use to shout out Coal blocks, then me da and hes mates would say WHAT DO YE FEED YOUR MOTHER ON and he would shout again perfectly timed coal blocks,,, haha just silly things you remember of a time long gone :)
@@KT-ut9zg hahaha no but my da was lucky he had a great job driving for shell back then, think it was malone's oil products out in town some where, but with 8 of us in family he needed it lol
Barney McKenna is buried here in saint lomans cemetery trim county Meath Ireland☺I was at funeral even the president Michael d Higgins payed his Respect's☺
We went fishing with Barney when we were on holiday in Dublin in 1978, and Ronnie performed at our hotel. Years later, when on holiday in France, we saw Saint Lawrence O’Toole’s skull in Notre Dame church in Eu, Normandy.
The flute will always pierce my soul... the living stories sung from long ago... my grandparents born in Ireland sweet, makes me a part of their old magic streets; never been... yet I can feel it day by day... Ireland,, deep inside my blood to stay. Thank you gracious sir for the tour of your fair town, Still, I listen to the original group every chance I get.
RIP Eamonn Campbell. I saw this during its original broadcast and wondered why EC didn't take part in the poetry recital along with the rest of the Dubliners. It was either cos he wasn't a full member or he wasn't able to be there for it. Not that it matters anyway, we've lost another legend.
