These two men are in their seventies nowadays and still wonderful musicians. They are masters of their craft.
The quality of these two legends and this performance is just beyond belief. It makes me so happy to see them together like this, and also so sad that we are not able to experience it live. Thank you for recording and sharing.
It was several years ago. Well, perhaps many years ago. Thought I saw Andy Irvine and Donald Lonnie playing in Charleston, South Carolina. I am very happy to State that I will add to my bucket list a trip to Ireland this June. The whole purpose is to listen to the music that I love so well!😊
I wish this got more views. Such talent.. R.I.P Liam O 🇮🇪
My 20 year old daughter, Cedar Dobson, is a student at Pulse College in Dublin and is doing a research project on Donal Lunny. She will be contacting him this week to see if she can interview him. A dream come true for my daughter, as she is a trad musician from California meeting her idols in Ireland. Love to you both, Andy and Donal.
Great stuff lads. You were the musical backcloth of my youth. I had the great privilege of playing with Dónal once - the high point of my musical career! Gentlemen and scholars, both of you.
In 1968 I was with a band called the Clouds from Downpatrick and once we were playing in the Stella in Dublin. We decided to go for a pint in Donahues just to see the famous pub where the Dubliners played. No luck we were asked to leave......the reason? Long hair. Couldn't believe it.
Fabulous, beautiful music. Playing full of wonder played with freedom and imagination.
I’d not heard several of these numbers done as musical duets like this. Really liked it! It must be very for performers like Andy and Donal to give a top performance to a basically empty venue like this. Let’s hope it’s not long before the audiences are back, post covid.
you know you're getting old when you remember stuff from Andy Irvine's Song about the Dubliners. Being part of the Irish Folk Wave in Germany in 1973/74, with Micho Russell and the Furey Bros, I will never forget Luke Kelly bringing a champagne flute full of Whiskey on the stage and had it down after the first song. Legends, all of them!
Just love the two men. Wonderful musicians! All time heroes of mine when it comes to Irish music.
The voice so familiar. The beat too. Lovely lyrics, be God where have the years gone?
Fantastic to discover this by chance. Two of Irish music's greatest heroes. Each of these wonderful songs is like a true friend you've known for decades and can always turn to for reflection, nostalgia, solace, warmth or good craic. Thanks, you rambling boys of pleasure, for this great gift that uplifts the spirit and warms the heart in strange, lonely times.
Praise the Lord for these amazing souls who express so much of life's bittersweet longing for heaven.
Gratitude to the both of you and for keeping the torch lit so we all are able to listen to the essence of what this music holds. 🍀❤
The best irish musicians I ever met. Andy is my idol - met him several times in Germany. Love you both!
Amazing 🎶🎶🎶🍺
This beautiful music, these wonderful musicians - it somehow has something healing listening to this.
Off to see these two legends tonight
Great !!!
