    AS a die-hard fan of the greatest balladeer who graced this earth, Luke Kelly, I have to say that your man here is a vocalist as good as the finest himself. No greater accolade can ever be bestowed upon a mortal. Absolutely love this, I close my eyes and rewind some 40 years.

      Just to add... I believe Traditional Irish music is in safe hands with you lads. All the greats are now gone - Lukey, Barney, Ronnie, Ciaran, the Clancy brothers. Without you, we'd be left with choreographed crap like the High Kings.

    Great to see the younger generation singing these songs, great performance by the lads. My dad work in Cricklewood in the 60s, he went to London after been in the Congo.

    I'm an American of mostly Scottish, and Irish, descent. I was raised by my Grandmother Ervin who was born in 1912. She was from Kentucky, and raised me on bluegrass. Irish folk music reminds of bluegrass, and my grandmother. The roots of bluegrass are here, and alive and well thanks to lads like these. Unbroken chain.
    Slainte kindred.

    That is not the voice I expected, I gotta say, WOW, Simply amazing!! I don't like to compare singers because if ya do, there's someone who won't agree and jump all over the comments. I will say this........................other than the Dubliners Ronnie Drew and Luke Kelly, this is the best or closest to them singing that I've heard this song being played or sang. Great band lads and I hope you keep it going. Everything gets better with age :) Thanks for keeping traditional music alive and well
