what a true passionate Irishman & singer--and one not to forget out ethnic brothers the Travellers. I met him a few times in Sheehans off Grafton Street-Valerie adored him and his wild attire Orange leather and pink ties!! Blue suede shoes too! My mon.
thiankyou dubliners, you are the soundtrack to my nannas life, and listening to your music is helping me remember her, as she has just passed away. she was a true irish rover!! x x x
Thank you dear Ken - cuz- MacTheranain of course as a Dubliner he must have been mighty to you and your mates.....sadl;y missed. I recall the day the news came that he had passed-i spoke of it with my masters' postgrad students one who wept openly in class bringing a dimming to my eyes.And a socialist-self taught. RIP Luke
Just played this in the bar for a very loud man from London who kept telling me his grandmother was a gypsy. Had to leave cos of the din. Now that I can smoke here legally ffs, I’ve no need of much more company but my own. Plus brought up some beer from the bar.
Please don't forget to credit Ewan McColl for the lyrics (Radio Ballads 1964) before you start claiming it as irish traditional! Great version, but it does get up my nose when people don't quote sources.
He had a brilliant voice, and he was an ambassador for Ireland

Luke singing Ewan McColl the very best interpretation ever❤
"I have never heard a bad track from The Dubliners!" - I have never heard truer words.
True masters of Irish folk music .Thanks for showing.
Could sit in his company all night listening to him sing that song that was so dear to his heart. He had so much more to say and do ..😪

The most beautiful voice of all belongs to Luke Kelly.
That is - it doesn't belong to him anymore, it belongs to all of us.
Thank you, Luke!
thiankyou dubliners, you are the soundtrack to my nannas life, and listening to your music is helping me remember her, as she has just passed away. she was a true irish rover!! x x x
Unmistakeable and unique voice - and you can hear every word, unlike with singers today. We will never hear anyone sing this better.
Unfortunately my friend
Absolutely 100% correct & right. His dictation was incredible. Perfect delivery. There will never be another.
A true Legend.
How wonderful. R.I.P Luke.
This song hits me directly in my heart. His voice (and afro) are things of legend!
God bless the man with the singing soul and a 'Irish Afro'.....the Big Man broke the mould when he made you.......RIP Luke.......
2 years nanna, listening to your song again
Amazing song by Luke and the Dubliners wow R.I.P Luke miss you
Every song Luke sang, he made it his own. RIP Luke, on the 34th anniversary of his passing.
Luke is the best. He dead on 30/01/1984. Next month, 33 years ago.
The Irish a unique special thing.... Stoping by here from Houston (Im from Chile)
No one will ever outshine the lads!!!!!
What a voice
Everlasting
Hurray, Luke forever! Strong and amazing voice. He was a great and special human.
A song by Luke is always good.
God bless Luke Kelly may he rest in peace
Some people sing with passion, but passion sing through Luke
Love this song so much. What a voice.
Heavenly voice !!!!!!
a fantastic song by Luke Kelly
It's by Ewen McColl
Ah Luke, why did you have to leave us? They must be having the craic in Heaven!
Thank you dear Ken - cuz- MacTheranain of course as a Dubliner he must have been mighty to you and your mates.....sadl;y missed.

Me Dad used to sing this to us as kids........Happy dayz thanks for the memories:-)
Luke Kelly, sadly missed. A superb voice. Saw the original Dubs in Birmingham, at the Town Hall in the 1970s.
This is my dad's song brilliant
Lovely songs he sang my Mother and father sang his songs may they all Rip
Great singer
Great version of a song I first heard by the Johnstons
Johnston's version fabulous too, such brilliant harmonies
God. I wanna visit Ireland.
1dband Have you done it yet?
Just do it. I waited until I was 77 and I wish I could have gone sooner and healthier 💚☘️

Pitch perfect.
Written by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger
RIP luke, you were great, was luke or any member of a dubliners a traverller originally ? because I heard that long ago. no disrespect like
Love it! tricky song to sing, hey?
None were Pavee (aka Irish Travellers) The Fureys are Travellers though. Frankie Gavin the fiddler from Galway is one too on his Fathers side
Please don't forget to credit Ewan McColl for the lyrics (Radio Ballads 1964) before you start claiming it as irish traditional! Great version, but it does get up my nose when people don't quote sources.
good Call!
Ewan loved by all trad/ballad fans. Kirsty also.
Anyone with half an interest in traditional music knows McColl wrote a lot of the songs.
amazing. wullie mcphee
i wish i could sing like luke
i wish i could sing
me too i wish i could sing i could when i was younger i had a great voice i tought
People actually listen to Shane (the music killer) McGeowns version of this song. Craziness
why oh why oh why
Like
Brilliant vocals. Couple of chords missing. But generally what's not to love
Acelin Boswell
Luke definitely wasn't. I'm fairly sure that none of them were
He wasn't but beautiful still
Field
The immigrant
Then you should listen to Sean Cannon! And anyway, you don't spell travelling like that.
Colin Groves Sean Cannon isn’t the Dubliners, in my book at least:)
