A Tribute to Eamonn Campbell

[@paddycampbell576]

On behalf of myself and the rest of the Campbell family could I just say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this beautiful tribute.

[@theferryman4916]

you are very welcome

[@paddycampbell576]

The Ferryman Dad would have been blown away, I'm sure, as he was such a humble fella and never considered himself any better than anyone else.
He'll be sorely missed but never forgotten.

[@GirvanLighthouse77]

Can just imagine Eamonn, Ronnie, Barney, Luke and the clancy's n Tommy Makem in the great bar in the heavens where age and illness have no meaning restored in all their glory having a bash with the music we have all lived our lives to with of course a small refreshment. A glass raised and raised again to them all and to the Campbell family for giving us a loan of Eamonn all these years. Love and memories never die.

[@paddycampbell576]

colshe Cheers!

[@brianclarke61993]

Paddy Campbell Eamon was a tremendous musician, a lovely man and a true Irish man , may he RIP. Legend

[@Marc443]

His guitar play gave the Dubs from 1987 on a very special note. Fantastic and unique sound with John‘s fiddle play and the unique voices.

[@gconthemic2502]

25 years with the Dubliners and 5 years with the Dublin Legends
He was a legend himself
Rest easy Eamonn, keep goin with the auld guitar up there.

[@perttiruotsalainen7429]

As a deep lover of Irish music I had a chance to listen to the band Dubliners Leged in Maynooth Hotel on our last visit in July 2013. As foreign guests I and my wife my wife were invited to backstage after the concert to talk with the members of The Dublin Legeds. Friendly guys all of them. We are sorry to hear now, several months afterwards, that Eamonn Campbell has passed away. Rest In Peace like all the other Dubliners who through death have left this lovely Irish band during the decades. Pertti from Finland.

Bel hommage pour un grand musicien 🌹❤️... Touchant, émouvant...

[@yannickmonot7823]

Eamon Campbell was a great man, I had the chance to meet him a few times, see him on stage and offstage: A nice gentle person and a very good musician who had something to give ! Mr Campbell all the best to your travel round our small world, you are on our mind.

[@mobilegoat1]

A gentle man with a great talent , he will well be surely missed .

[@dennismarrotte1082]

Eamonn Campbell was a Truly Magical Master Guitarist with Spirit and an Irish Soul that transcended All who were Fortunate to see and listen to him perform in person. For someone like me from Maine in New England, who never attended a
" Dubliners " Concert, but just learned about them, listening and seeing a Video like their 40th Anniversary live Concert at the Gaiety Concert Hall when they performed " The Irish Rover ". -
Eamonn's cutting loose with James McCann, or dancing a jig and playing his Guitar at the same time ~ Goose Bumps appear on yourself. Performing with Johann Sebastian Sheahan Marino Casino and closing with Two Reels and a Jig, the sheer Joy and at the same instant, the Concentration of Eamonn and John playing as 1 is a Treasure to watch and listen to !!!

[@DownSunny]

I met Eamon once in the Ferryman pub in Dublin. I approached him, only to ask could I shake his hand. He pulled me in, sat me down, asked would I like a photograph, and signed my Ireland Jersey. An absolute gentleman. I now have a lovely picture of us both that I will hopefully one day show my grandkids and explain to them, this kids, is a proper musician, go onto UA-cam or whatever it will be in 50/60 years time and type in Eamon Campbell. I was sorry to hear he'd passed away only weeks after. Rip Eamon.

[@branthomas1621]

You were lucky. I met him when I was 14 and he told me to "Fe'k off , you English cu@t " But it's ok. I can laugh about it now.

[@fiddler11916]

I have followed the Dubliners from 1966 I saw them live in Germany. The best Irish Traditional band in my view. R. I. P.

[@pauljenkins6205]

A real Dubliner.....you gave us so much joy. I only met you once, but I will always remember your smile and happiness, rest in peace......I can almost hear you, Ronnie, Barney, Luke and Ciaran playing.

[@tinameier2217]

Ein wahnsinnig GUTER und bodenständiger Musiker der ein unfaßbar guter KÖNNER seines Faches war. Ruhe in Frieden mein Freund.... schade das es Sie nicht mehr gibt

[@liamog03]

Honest opinion was a Brilliant Guitarist and musical arranger . I had the great privilege of meeting and conversing with Eamon. While I appreciate the song etc mit it no way repreclates the wonder of Eamon . RIP.

[@robinstephenson8337]

Bloody hell, I hadn't realised he has passed. What a talented musician and fitted so well in the Dubs. I am so sad that yet another one of these legends are no longer with us.

[@gconthemic2502]

He died while he was on tour with the Dublin Legends
He was found dead in his hotel room
Rest Easy Legend

[@emmajanecampbellobrien8115]

@@gconthemic2502 Our Dad passed in surrounded by his loving family in hospital.

[@gconthemic2502]

@@emmajanecampbellobrien8115 my apologies, I heard somewhere he died on tour, my condolences to your family, he was a rocker at heart

[@stampdealer]

Sadly, I only just discovered the Dubliners in the last year or so, but have watched and listened almost constantly since. I've become a fan of each of the lads through the whole history of the group. Eamonn was a real character and a damn fine musician. It is easy to see that even before he was "in" the Dubliners, he was "part" of them, and a valued part. Good man, Eamonn. R.I.P.

[@martinrooney7494]

I was a friend of Barney Mc Kenna. Met Eamon in Barneys bar on eden quay. What a pleasure. He was so unassuming and yet, a real genious and top asset to The Dubliners. was shocked when I heared he had died. God bring him to his reward. A real humble and gentle human being. The kind of person that gives you faith in mankind

[@Deejaay83urj38]

A wonderful tribute to a true Irish Bard. Thanks . . . a displaced soul in Oz

[@davidcoe6376]

Seen a few times with the Dubliners I m English but loved Sean’s guitar playing and all Irish music

[@dommen4539]

And passing the year but never the ones who enjoy your music and your way of been forget you.

[@philipjames1916]

A wonderful, wonderful gem of a man !!!!

[@KennethOESundin]

A wonderful man in a wonderful band playing amazing music

[@fixit1195]

never forgotten.. a gentleman with a guitar......

[@nigelrafferty7078]

One of Ireland's best musicians. What an unsung legend. He'll be sorely missed. Loads of great performances to watch, but my favs will always be himself and Barney knocking out a few tunes. RIP Eamonn

[@tinameier2217]

My english is bad, I know, but, Eamonn is one of the best guitarplayer of the world. Eamon with Barney Mc Kenna or with John Sheahan.....BEST

[@freemindthinkerezrapound5071]

There's more talent in heaven now than there is on earth

[@pedror8197]

En el recuerdo de los que disfrutamos con tu música, Eamonn.

[@Papaslug1960]

Always had a smile on his face .. A great character indeed .. Sadly missed ..

[@Celtic2Realms]

Very well done. Lovely

[@craiggorman9392]

What an Absolutely Fantastic tribute to Eamonn Campbell,thankyou for uploading this video.

[@theferryman4916]

you're welcome

[@wiking08]

I met Eamonn in the bar at Sheffield City Hall, my mate and I wer first in and in the empty bar there the man was, leaning on the bar with a half pint in his hand, he turned his head and quietly sed 'Alright lads', and apart from 'Alright Eamonn', i cudn't think of anythin else to add. The bar filled up quickly and Eamonn was happily chatting away to all and sundry. What stood out for me at that show was near the end and everyones having fun, Eamonn started doing the duck walk, and pulled his lead out, and the blues riff went quickly quiet 😂 I saw him again in the early 90s at doncaster dome again with the dubs, another fine performance, his guitar work added so much, compared to early dubs music, taking nothing away from any other guitarists the band have had, Eamonn was 'the' guitarist in my opinion, and a gentleman. May he rest in peace. God bless you Eamonn, and thank you 👏

[@deanbird5083]

Such a humble beautiful human being.

[@johnquinn5876]

I have loved traditional Irish music and song all my life. I play banjo fiddle flute button box guitar .and much more.I am so sad to hear of your parting .but you're music still lives in me.God bless you my freind

[@frankking781]

I remember thirty years ago when he was playing with the dubliners at the pavilion in Glasgow,
He spotted me trying to check out his guitar chords during a song,
He caught my eye and motioned his fretting hand towards me and nodded his head ,
A gentleman .

[@karmapeach]

Totally under rated,Eamonn was a smile from a great horizon,love ya my old friend.

[@gconthemic2502]

Eamonn you were an extraordinary musician and you will be sorely missed

[@tv-vu6zq]

[@nualakeating7833]

Always a pleasure watching and listening. Thank you for your amazing talent you shared with us .

[@raymondspicer]

so sad to hear of Eamonn's passing, spoke to him in Hamburg in 2011 and a lovely man to speak to. met all the Dubliners as we were in the same hotel for the concert. happy memories. R.I.P. Eamonn.

[@Kerkopes]

I just found out today that Eamonn had passed in Oct. :( I'm still not over the passing of Jim (2015), nor Barney (2012), Ronnie (2008), Ciaran (1988), Luke (1984) and Bobby (1982) I'd love to see John, Paddy and Patsy get together for one more show.

What a wonderful tribute! I loved this man although I've never met him he has brought joy to me so often through his talent and his smile. He will never be forgotten, a truly good man and amazing musician. RIP

[@dempsey2137]

Jesus I can't believe I'm only finding out about this now. Eamonn always stood out no matter what Dubliners song you watched, he always had a certain thing about him that made him unique, whether it's his look, personality or the way he performed he always looked like a lovely bloke and it's sad to see him go. RIP Eamonn a true Dublin Legend

[@daviddring2365]

What music there is up there! God bless ...... lovely man!

[@johanelderdal]

Great guy👌 Remember back in -95 when I first saw the lads play live (Stockholm waterfestival)
As me and my friends made our way thru the crowds of People to get near the stage they played "Rocky Road To Dublin" and Eamonns deep bass in the chorus sent chivers down the spine. To this day I have never been struck by a Song quite like this again.
Cheers to you Eamonn wherever you may be🍻

[@snerper]

My very, very, deepest condolences, two of my favourite musicians taken from us, Eamonn Campbell and Fats Domino! The many, many hours of joy they brought me just listening to them, they'll live forever in my heart. Fat man, you stirred my soul, and Eamonn your guitar playing was absolutely superb and spurred me on in my own guitar playing! From the first time I heard the Dubliners I believed that I was an Irishman born into the wrong body and the wrong country, English by birth, but Irish by wishful thinking! R.I.P. gentlemen, the heavenly chorus has just gained two more extraordinary musicians to their ranks! Paddy Campbell and family, my thoughts are with you, may God bless you all!

[@paddycampbell576]

I only found out the other day that Mr Campbell had passed. I'm deeply saddened yet enriched by every note I heard him play and every grin I saw him crack. Sadly only ever on videos, never in real life. Belated condolences.

[@derrickmurphy6040]

I hadn't even known that Eamonn had died until a couple of weeks ago when I phoned home(in Florida now 2yrs)I was deeply saddened what a lovely man he was always thought he was the craic of the Dubliners the big smile always ready to have a laugh and a bit of craic a truly lovely genuine man .rip Eamonn ya true legend what a player you were.thanks.

Eamonn was the one addition to the original Dubliners (Ronnie, Luke, Barney, Ciaran and John) that could fit in with their aura. No offence to the others who came in but none fit the bill like Eamonn Campbell did. RIP
