Dolores Keane and John Faulkner perform the song ‘Johnny Lovely Johnny’.
"The high walls of Derry look dismal and grey
And so does lovely Johnny, he is now going away
He is going to bonnie Scotland some sweetheart to see
May the high powers above send him safe home to me."
The song featured on the album ‘Broken Hearted I’ll Wander’ by Dolores Keane and John Faulkner.
This episode of ‘Humours of Donnybrook’ broadcast on 10 June 1980. The presenter is Ciarán Mac Mathúna.
‘Humours of Donnybrook’ was a series of traditional Irish music programmes presented by Ciarán MacMathunag. - Hudba
Will the likes of that ever be heard again ? God bless them both what talent
Irelands best female singer
My later father listening to Ciarán Mac Mathúna on the radio every Sunday morning is one of my great memories from childhood.
Absolutely brilliant, Dolores was a genius.
I had the great privilege to see Dolores Keane and John Faulkner perform in Clarenville Newfoundland many years ago. It remains one of the amazing highlights of my concert going experience.
Such a wonderful distinctive voice
This is beautiful. Why is a song like this never on the Eurovision Song Contest?
Very interesting, I wish people sang like this more often.
You're posting all my favorites...One of the very best Irish singers that ever lived...and what a beautiful accompaniment.
God,what a beautiful voice! She sings naturally without pretension and it comes from the depths of an old soul.
What a beautiful recording! Dolores’ voice is one of the most beautiful to me, and the song, simple and exquisite. Thank you so much for posting this.❤
I could listen to Dolores sing all day ❤
And night...
Unbelievably beautiful performance. entrancing
Fabulous music, beautiful singing, lovely
What a treat the very great Ciarán Mac Mathúna, I could listen to that man talking about music forevermore also with the Queen of Connemara and of all Ireland Dolores Keane & the great John Faulkner,
What a warm female Voice. What a calm performance 👏👏👏
Wow!! What a TREASURE!!❤️
An amazing voice.
When time stands still....wonderful, thank you.
Delores at her best with her beloved husband Johnny,maybe it's him she's really singing about
I so wisH I was sitting in the old country now (from Canada). Thanks for sharing.
The old country is not the same any more ...unrecognisable. This makes me cry ...because Ireland has changed so much and not for the better.
@@marianlynch4829 I am so curious, Marian, in what ways you speak of. I am a Canadian and Ireland is my most favourite place in the world to visit and my son, his wife, and my grandkids are there. I'd love to hear more from you. Thank you
@@NancyLynn It's called diversity...Walking in many parts of Dublin today hardly any Irish...so many different people of all races...and it's getting like that in many towns through out Ireland. So many migrants and refugees ( many are not refugees) . Mosques in many places.
Perhaps that doesn't bother you ..I don't know...but it sure as hell bothers me.
@@marianlynch4829 I wonder if the millioms of Irish people who left Irelamd for a better life were met with like minded people like you Martin would life have been even more difficult for them for having to leave there country in the first place. I guess you have never traveled much or live in a different country to have such a closed mind.
Wonderful thanks for posting 🤗 this
Fantastic
A really fine natural singer...like her aunts.
love this lady
I think this tune is also known as 'The High Walls of Derry'.
❤
Lovely is right.
She was wonderful. Alcohol, drugs and cigarettes almost destroyed her.
Did John play Saxophone?? Anybody know ,? Thanks 🙏
