  • The Night Visiting Song. Luke Kelly's last televised performance. Broadcast in November 1983 a couple of months before he died aged 43.
    I must away now, I can no longer tarry,
    This morning's tempest, I have to cross,
    I must be guided, without a stumble,
    Into the arms I love the most
    And when he came to his true love's dwelling,
    He knelt down gently, upon a stone,
    And through her window, he whispered lowly
    Is my true lover within at home.
    Wake up, wake up love it is thine own true lover,
    Wake up, wake up love and let me in,
    For I am tired love and oh so weary,
    And more than near drenched to the skin.
    She's raised her up, her down soft pillow,
    She's raised her up, and she's let him in,
    And they were locked in, each other's arms,
    Untill that long night was past and gone.
    And when that long night was pased and over
    And when the small clouds, began to grow,
    He's taken her hand and they kissed ands parted,
    Then he saddled and mounted, and away did go.
    I must away now, I can no longer tarry,
    This morning's tempest, I have to cross,
    I must be guided, without a stumble,
    Into the arms I love the most

    By then he probaby knew his brain tumour was not curable. And he had began accepting it. He was forgetting words as a result. He sang this through like noone else could. The songs first verse mirrors his life at that time which makes it all the more heartbreaking.

    Many have tried to sing this ballad few have come close , but none to compare with the incredible Luke Kelly he made it his own I listen to it regularly and it always brings a tear to my eye, I met him in the bar of the Commadore hotel in Cobh not long before his death with Ronnie trying to cure himself after the night before, I was in the same boat not much was said. Hard to think its almost 40 years ago. RIP my lovely man.

      It's a common myth that this was his last performance. It wasn't. This was recorded in June 1983, but it wasn't broadcast until 4th November 1983. He performed inbetween those dates, most notably on a tour of Holland in late 83, and the Dubliners album Live In Carre came from that tour. His last performance was actually in early January 84, at a Dublin hotel.

    People often tell me I am narrow-minded in terms of my musical taste, which is stuck somewhere in the period of the 60s through the 80s. Well, sorry, but as wild as my imagination is, I cannot imagine any modern singer do what Luke Kelly does - knowing that he will die soon, bring up a gorgeously emotional and authentic performance, which, if it doesn't bring tears to your eyes, you have never experienced real music. Rest in peace, Luke 💚💚💚
