The Ronnie Drew Group

More than likely they were already the Dubliners and not the "Ronnie Drew Group" by this point. This is a rare lineup of the group where Luke Kelly briefly left to study folk songs with Ewan MacColl and John Sheehan and Bobby Lynch joined. Lynch stayed a year and Sheehan never left.

I don't think we will ever again, have anyone like Ronnie Drew. He was a one off. His songs are badly needed these days. This is the earliest film that I have seen of him. His voice had such a hard texture, in the 60's, and early 70's.

The Pogues

The anthem of theNavvies who built Britain and a good part of the U.S.A. It reminds me of my still loved and missed "Gramps" who after 20 years of graft for Wimpey,was rewarded by a fall from a cheapest tender,piss poor job of a Scaffold which gave way and crippled him,He died 18 mths later and it took a further 3 years before my Nan saw a penny from good old George.My gramps never expected anything but his wage,and a glass or two after work,and never bitched about his fate once! R.I.P. Gramps!

Stupid bloody thing to say,Ireland's greatest export was people,such as John Laing,McAalpine,Murphy's,Shand's,Galliford,all these put money in peoples pockets to send home,to spend etc so why fuck them? No conscripts there,you worked for them by choice,in an industry known worldwide for being no fucking picnic.Think eh?

Sean Doherty

Was Ronnie Drew a Taig or Ulster Man? He sings the sash and Pody songs.

This is in the 1962 episode of Reeling in the Years. That series doesn't have too many mistakes in it. So could it be 1962?

Jim Kennedy

We were all facinated by Morrison, but then my Dad born in 1912 turned me on to the Dubliners in 1990, and well my mind got changed for good.
