I am danish - went to see the The Dubliners in Galway in 1968 for the first time. Talked with Ronny and Luke after the concert and asked them why they not did visit Denmark - as I said: you are very popular in Denmark. - Luke said to me: We will and you shall be our manager - i thought he was joking - but i have seen The Dubliners many times in Denmark since
There's been great Irish singers, but none quite like the great Luke Kelly..He's my favorite, and he was my mothers too..He has the right amount of righteous indignation, passion, pissed off fervor, and plus a great, great voice..Just the best..A wonderful song as well, something my dear ol' mom played alot as were had ancestors from Derry who got out right when the Great Famine hit..But we never forgot..
THE DUBLINERS WERE A FORCE OF NATURE, AND LUKE SANG WITH EVERY SINEW IN HIS BEING, THINGS YOU CANT SEE ARE THE SOULS OF THESE MEN, AND IRISHMEN GONE BEFORE THEM, FOR THEY ARE CONNECTED IN THE TIME.
I listen to this, close my eyes and im 9 years old again and back in my uncle's black Jeep. The inside smells like leather and Drum rolling tobbaco and the windows are down. We're speeding down a backroad to some car boot sale, Luke kelly is blaring in my ear and the wind coming in the window is singing alongside him. No cares in the world. I feel very fortunate to be reminded of these great memories whenever I listen to these lads.
@@obscureironwork2511 i only mention that i am protestant because a few people who are ignorant would think that i would not enjoy these songs of course they are good songs there is enough crap on this earth without people hating each other
Met Luke in 1967 He became a gorgeous friend for a few weeks then I had to travel back to my home country. Most gorgeous person I have ever met! So sad he died so early!!! The world is missing people like him!!!! I am so serious!
I'm an American, I was in the Army stationed in Germany in the 80's. I got to know some irish Workers from Sligo, visited their families too. Got to know the Irish, introduced to, "The Dubliners", I love this beautiful music and the people.
Thank you for your service my brother. From my family to yours I appreciate your sacrifice. Much love. My great grandparents where from Ireland and Scotland.
In 2024, I'm listening to his unforgettable 🎵 song! It touches deeply, my heart to hear his special and unique voice! For me, he keeps alive, in my soul, memory. RIP, dear Luke.
God bless Luke Kelly! I feel so emotional every time I hear him sing this song. I am Norwegian, but feel very Irish every time I enjoy the great music of The Dubliners! I hope one day Ireland can be one whole country again. Let the music and common culture bring the people together again, not divided by religion and imperialism!
He used to play in a pub called the bridge in Newcastle before he was in the Dubliners when you see this video it’s a shame only John Sherman is here now
I guess nobody can be a good singer when you compare them to this man, Ariana Grande is trash compared to Luke, Camila Cabelo GROSS, Katy Perry WHO? Am i right or am i right?
"For what's done is done, and what's won is won, and what's lost is lost and gone forever, I can only pray for a bright, brand new day, in the town I loved so well." What a fantastic lyric! Kelly really belts it out.
Ha, Ha! Freudian slip. And the funny thing is I hate that damn show! I think I've only ever seen maybe half an episode. Not sure where that even came from. Anyway, I edited it so as not to offend anyone's sight again.
And they carry on :::Lukes tears at that line tells us what he thought of the Irish situation up north. He was my dad's age 1940.RIP LUKE KELLY 1940 /1984 IRISH TO THE BONE.
I've been listening to Luke Kelly since I was about 10 years old. I'm 55 years old now, and I'm still listening. It's a shame that the youth of today are destroying statues of Luke all over Dublin. R.I.P Luke Kelly.
@@B1N4RYGH0ST They arrested a man in 40s for destroying the statue - maybe give the youth a break, we were all young once and blamed for things we did not do. 40s are closer to your age group than Williams.
living in king's cross london 25 years ago i used to hear this song every night in a pub. ON the street then i was, i cant believe I am still here. I cant even listen to the whole thing, the tears are so deep and the pain so cruel. amazing such a rough voice can do that
In my memory I will always see the town that I have loved so well where our school played ball by the gasyard wall and we laughed through the smoke and the smell. Going home in the rain running up the dark lane past the jail and down behind the fountain Those were happy days in so many many ways in the town I have loved so well. In the early morning the shirt-factory horn called women from Craigeen the Moor and the Bog while the man on the dole played the mother's role fed the children and then trained the dogs. And when times got rough there was just about enough but they saw it through without complaining for deep inside was a burning pride for the town I loved so well. There was music there in the Derry air like a language that we could all understand I remember the day when I earned my first pay as I played in the small pick-up band. There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth I was sad to leave it all behind me for I'd learned 'bout life and I've found a wife in the town I loved so well. But when I returned how my eyes have burned to see how a town could be brought to its knees by the armoured cars and the bombed-out bars and the gas that hangs on to every breeze. Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall and the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher with their tanks and their guns, oh my god what have they done to the town I loved so well. Now the music's gone but I still carry on for their spirit's been bruised never broken they will not forget for their hearts are aset on tomorrow and peace once again. For what's done is done and what's won is won and what's lost is lost and gone forever I can only pray for a bright brand new day in the town I loved so well.
Mr. Kelly, ye taught me of irish life. I was born in America to a son of Erin and I will return when Ireland is whole. Luke and paddy are musical heritage
Luke Kelly, was the best Irish Folk singer from Ireland. And he was 44 when he died. He's the lead singer on this one. And he inspired a lot of singers. And he will always remember, by The Dubliners.
Being scotch-Irish living in USA East, TN… I just can’t help but have the deepest emotional connection to Luke Kelly and traditional Irish folk music. We have Bluegrass but it doesn’t even touch the emotion of this song. Luke Kelly touches my soul every time he sings, like many Irish singers.
In few of us live thousands of millions of dignitaries and entities .like electricity we separate and eccentrate and procrastinate for an eternity. But as one
for the 211 people who disliked this!! I take it yea are not Irish, as this sound speaks to the soul of any Irish man or woman! If you don't like it, just leave and take your negativity with you! the rest of us will just listen and admire a music which is very much lost in these days
A good friend a made during my destiny gaming days whilst in a gaming clan(luna faction) recommended listening to luke kelly.thank you misty thank you mate
He sang with the deepest feeling in his heart. Never Luke can be forgotten. His striking voice enters in our minds and souls in a very special and passionate way!!!
Met Luke and the guys many many times. Glad I lived to see the Dubs live on stage hundreds of times. Just ordinary guys like us all, but each gifted in a very special way. Their like will never be seen again. Sláinte. From a Yorkshireman, Phil*
luke sang this song with such heart and soul that no one would dare try to replecate it if they tried they would ruin such a great song by an icon of irish folk. THANK YOU LUKE.
"The Town I Loved So Well" is a song written by Phil Coulter about his childhood in Derry, Northern Ireland.

It has been covered by The Dubliners and...." --wikipedia
Luke Kelly was and is Ireland. Giving voice to all of us who might not have had one. So much power and passion in that utterly inimitable voice. I get chills every time I hear him.
Ellen, I absolutely agree with you! His voice is unique! Like him never more! I think we as his fans how we have missed him! Sure , he is a greatest and valuable treasure from Ireland to the World!👍☘🇮🇪☘🇮🇪☘🇮🇪☘
I'm convinced I met him or something of a doppelganger in Epsom 6 years ago....of course he's been long gone for a good while now....but the man my father and I passed with his wife recognised me, my dad claimed he had no clue who he was....he had foggy whispy hair and spoke exactly with the same sort of inclination.....Luke lives on in some
I had the privilege to play Bennigans in Derry annually for 8 years. After all the jazz and mayhem I would just play this melody on the piano. They all sang. Beautiful people and I miss them very much.

I'm a protestant from Tyrone and proud to say I'm irish

Hello Norway, you are right, Ireland will be "one whole country together again" in the EU. Thank you Brexit. Maury May/USA (half Irish)
very perceptive
There is a huge bloodline between us Irish & the Norwegians, maybe that is why Irish music has a draw for you Linda.... Our Viking friends 🤗
This song is one of the best songs I've heard in my entire life! It's full of passion and realy tells a story... not like the music today
the music of today(which was 12 yrs ago, was lost and gone forever, thank god ) but these songs of Lukes will never die, R.I.P. bonny lad
He used to play in a pub called the bridge in Newcastle before he was in the Dubliners when you see this video it’s a shame only John Sherman is here now

I never enjoy going to Derry, but always enjoy leaving it. Luke still manages to make it sound appealing.
one of the songs that was meant to be sung only by Luke and no one else... magnificent!
it was a Wolftone song, long before Luke Kelly , get your facts right.
susan gallagher Luke brought it alive though
susan gallagher The Wolfetones never recorded nor even sang that song at a live concert Susan.
It's a Phil Coulter song, the man originally from Derry himself written about his childhood
Nah, wolftones NEVER recorded this song, I can find no evidence they ever sang it. I believe Phil Coulter wrote the song, and asked Luke to sing it.
And Barney the most inspiring and greatest banjo playing and musician of all time.The group isnt the same without is music
The Dubliners to have two singers, Luke Kelly and Ronnie drew outstanding the town I loved so well pure beauty

Listened to this and raglan road with my dad before he died....5 years later I still cry Listening to them

In my memory I will always see
the town that I have loved so well
where our school played ball by the gasyard wall
and we laughed through the smoke and the smell.
Going home in the rain running up the dark lane
past the jail and down behind the fountain
Those were happy days in so many many ways
in the town I have loved so well.
In the early morning the shirt-factory horn
called women from Craigeen the Moor and the Bog
while the man on the dole played the mother's role
fed the children and then trained the dogs.
And when times got rough there was just about enough
but they saw it through without complaining
for deep inside was a burning pride
for the town I loved so well.
There was music there in the Derry air
like a language that we could all understand
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
as I played in the small pick-up band.
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
I was sad to leave it all behind me
for I'd learned 'bout life and I've found a wife
in the town I loved so well.
But when I returned how my eyes have burned
to see how a town could be brought to its knees
by the armoured cars and the bombed-out bars
and the gas that hangs on to every breeze.
Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall
and the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
with their tanks and their guns, oh my god what have they done
to the town I loved so well.
Now the music's gone but I still carry on
for their spirit's been bruised never broken
they will not forget for their hearts are aset
on tomorrow and peace once again.
For what's done is done and what's won is won
and what's lost is lost and gone forever
I can only pray for a bright brand new day
in the town I loved so well.
