Glen Hansard, Damien Dempsey, John Sheahan at the unveiling of Luke Kelly Statue, South King Street, Dublin 30th January 2019. Sorry about the quality/shake...I was way back in the crowd.
I totally agree Tyrone but to be fair this is a decent stab at it, I like that Hansard but he's no Luke Kelly Luke was and always will be my favourites Balladeer
It was fitting they sang this at this event. After all, it was the last song Luke ever sang in public, three months before he passed. Makes it that much more poignant.
Because of this I find it a very sad but brilliant song. Only stumbled on the Dubliners a few year back,Luke had such energy and talent I’ve never seen anyone like him.
The other thought I have had is: this must have been a bittersweet moment for John. They are honouring his friend and band mate, but he is still gone, and gone in such a bad way (brain cancer, for those who don't know.) 😥
@@peterperry5378 you have admit it was pretty funny that you basically agreed with my assessment day one forgot what you wrote then changed your tune and tried to slate the assessment😂😂
A famous folk singer called Luke Kelly who used to sing with The Dubliners was honoured today. These are just a few clips of the unveiling of the statue ceremony..M
The great man honoured indeed. It was indeed an honour to be in Dublin today and witness this. So special, I'll never forget it. Thanks for the upload.
@@micheal2733 hi, mate I'm an Albanian girl and a big fan of Chris Kavanagh...I see by the video he was there but did he sing? If so do you have any video of him singing there????
@@robinhood480 I'll be scorned for this ; ,however my opinion is that any socialist ,which kelly was,would spurn the so called honour of a statue in his memory, I flinched at Connollys statue for the same reason,we do what we can for our beliefs and reject petty (petite) bourgeois wank
Yes the if the scum who vandalized luks statue is of Irish stock Shame to him and his whole kin . Have they not been passed down the takes and culture of their own people.
John Sheahan is still in good fiddling voice. What a musician, what a man.
Never tired listening Irish ballads…Glen Hansard performs BRILLIANT
Doesn’t matter who tries to cover this song, Luke Kelly’s is the definitive version. RIP Luke Kelly 🇮🇪💚

Wonderful music , Great singing well done Glen & Damien YOU have all done Luke K (( RIP) PROUD..

As people went from one land to another, in their music and in their hearts.
There's only ever been one Luke R.I.P.🇮🇪🇮🇪☘☘👍
I'm the only close one to luke kelly
So how do you rate this version, with Luke's, marks out to 10
What a wonderful Music! I Love all of you! I am glad to discover you on youtube!

Luke was the greatest
The quiet fella in the background should have been singing that. In a different league to the man singing it.
That guy standing with John looks like luke kelly
Very good.
Fair play
Glen hansard and other people will keep it up
very nice michael
