Could Only Happen In Ireland

- Dolly Parton on vacation in Ireland ..walks into a pub in County Kerry and is asked to sing a song. What a beautiful lady. The guy on the guitar is Steve Cooney. I do believe the year was 1990. For all you people out there the name Séamus is Irish for James. (Look up Séamus Begley Singer/Musician here on UA-cam. Another star in his own right)
11 Grammy awards and she sings for free while on holiday. She is a legend, make no mistake.. such class.
You can't stop yourself when you're living your passion! :)
Agreed
That's what happens when you do what you love
She is a true class act and it shows in everything she does all day all night no matter where she is
Yes Dolly is one of the best song writers in the world she was a sex symbol when she was younger she is a number one singer but what’s better than that is most people when they look at dolly say were a nice person she is all that and what comes through as what a nice person she is thank you darling for all that you have given us and I forgot to say she was a movie star two and a good one
Ain’t it a trip, when she was a kid they mocked her for dressing humbly, and when she was grown she was mocked for her glam style. Can’t win for losing with others, just please yourself 🥰
Tattoos all over her arms hence always rocking the long sleeves
@@bizarro20daves Tattoos can be cool, that sucks
Ladran Sanchom senyal qua cabalgamos -Don Quijote-. Dogs are barking Sancho, is a sign we are moving forward.
@@Kat-zi2tb she is a trailblazer. Arm tattoos on a female before they were considered cool
And today a patchwork coat is a style statement, just like Dolly Parton herself. I loved her as she corrected a patronizing Barbara Walters during an interview. It's on YT, worth a watch.
I do believe it's physically impossible to not absolutely love Dolly Parton.
True I love her.
She is an Angel walking among us.
People who don't love Dolly, have never heard Dolly.
Lived all my life just outside Sevierville and I've never been a fan. Over exposure I guess. Like the other religion around here, UT football.
She speaks with the might of a hundred soldiers
31 years after the video was filmed and 7 years after it has been posted here on UA-cam, Dolly's kindness and professionalism (even while on vacation) shines through. Thanks for posting this.
This made me miss the 90s on a very guttural level
This made me miss the 90s pretty deep too. Her giggle is so damn adorable too.
She is a truly talented and a beautiful woman inside and out!
Thank you for the clarification, I haven’t referenced any of the celebrities except Dolly, but I caught a few gists of your explanation. They named a sheep Dolly that was genetically cloned, in neighbouring Scotland I believe. Anyway, the turning of the speaker behind her increased the volume of her song. I worried for her that her song choice put off some people. What song choice would you have chosen? Dolly has so many amazing songs.
What an absolutely perfect comment! Amen. Dolly Parton is truly a treasure from God.
That's good musicianship right there. Not just dolly but the guitar player too. He interpreted the song in a very interesting way and dolly picked it right up. I bet this is a highlight of his life!
He's no ordinary guitar picker....ua-cam.com/video/WYm8WN75DEU/v-deo.html
And hers
@@sliotharball oh wow thanks for sharing that video. This is truly a gem of a video on sooooo many levels.
@@sliotharball dude, he didn't even sell out the stadium
I didn't like her at first as I only knew her based on her appearance. She looks like a lizard that went through a dozen of plastic surgeries. But after discovering her music and getting to know her character as part of interviews, I grew fond of her.
For someone who brags about being "trashy", she sure has a LOT of class. That whole crowd is going to have a story as great to them as that story about her coat is to her. And the guy on guitar was perfect, too, and he'll remember that day for the rest of his life.
the guy on guitar is Steve Cooney , well respected amongst Irish musicians
@@christaylor2070
I'd guess he's well respected by anyone who's heard him play, regardless where. He's good.
She once told an interviewer, 'It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!'
She has a wonderful sense of humor.
it dosent exactly take skill to alternate between 3 basic chords.
@@FingerinUrDaughter Seriously??? Deprived childhood brings out the cynicism?
I love the guitarist’s face when Dolly has him sing along into the mic. It’s like “omg I’m singing along with Dolly”
FR LMAO and the hand on his heart he was in heaven lol
Far from it...lol My Brutha's not like that! Sloan
Loved that moment. Irish charm at its best.
The Irish are just like her people back in butcher holler. And the folk music of Ireland and Scotland forms the basis of country music from Appalachia and, like jazz, uniquely American. Dolly is among her people and they understand her. That song, written about her severely impoverished childhood in Appalachia, could have easily been written about childhood memories of Ireland. Perfect alignment among singer and her audience, expressing essential values of maternal love, gratitude and humility. Sentiments both very real and transcendent. Dolly and the Irish bless us.
beautifully said
Exactly
Wonderful said my friend. Nailed it.
your comment gave me chiils, im balls deep into a bottle of vodka but im pretty sure it was your comment. no but jokes aside that was beautiful paddy
Cringe. What is it with Americans thinking they’re Irish?
One day, you walk into an Irish pub and there's Dolly Parton singing. Now, how good is life.?
It's the best
Life is shit with a few great moments
One day, I walked into an Irish pub and Dolly wasn’t there. My life was great anyway!
Now if Bono was there, that would have been another story. . .
I think this took place in Dingle, Co Kerry. Her name was on the pavement along with Julie Roberts , Robert Mitchum and John Mills.
When she leans over to have him sing along on that first chorus you can tell he just died and went to heaven
She was right at home. I pass by a mural of her portrait everyday so she’s always on my mind. She used to make late night talk show hosts blush! It’s always great to hear any great talent in a reduced, raw mode. Cheers
But wait, she's alive! Yes?
@@brandonjerome Yes, she is! Still kicking at 75 years old.
Beautiful comment 💗
You mean the massive mural up in Derry?
...or is there more than one...?
Either way she deserves a mural...
It just goes to show how humble Dolly is, that she would be on a vacation in Ireland, and requested if she would sing a quick song, that she wouldn't refuse. She is one of a kind.
But it’s because the Irish expect her to be Like that because they are
There's something genuinely nice and down to earth about dolly parton
One is only poor only if they choose to be...great lyric!! 💃🏼
Comrade Dolly
she grew up dirt poor
She lives and is treated like a goddess in Tennessee
She's good people I always heard good things about her
I'd say her momma did a fine job. She raised an absolute treasure! Beautiful, talented, classy and humble.
💯👏
So true, so true. A real pity many a woman didn’t model themselves on Dolly.
She is a world treasure.
@@ewhyte8059 One of the reasons why Dolly is so wonderful is that she didn't model herself on anyone else, she is just truly herself. I think that's a good lesson for everybody - be truly yourself.
Raising a child is a monumental task when you are poor and Dollys mother and Father did a fine job. They should be saluted.
I’m getting through the third years after daughter’s death using music. This is my song of the day for December 2, 2021. What a treat to have pure music like this from Seamus and Dolly. Thank you to them both and to the people in the pub in county Kerry for your unknowing support for a grieving mother. Much love 💕🐝💕🐞💕🇺🇸ps, Iv’e had 6 female family members die in the last 2-1/2 years including two last month. Louise (my mom), Laura (my only child), Barbara (a sister-in-law), Olga (my mother-in-law), Shirley (an aunt), and Kathi who is the sister of my heart (an “ex” sister-in-law). They took a piece of my heart, but left some of theirs behind to help soothe the world.
I can't imagine, only know that music's been incredibly healing to me too. I hope good things come your way and wishing you and your family well.
Sending love to you. ❤️ I also lost a daughter but she was a baby so I know it’s different. Dolly has a duet with Brad Paisley called “When I get where I’m going” that is very comforting when I hear it. It’s here on UA-cam if you ever want to check it out. If you have a song for each day planned I certainly don’t want to interfere with that. Just a suggestion for any other time. I like your song of the day routine.
All the best to you, life's always rough, sending support
I'm sorry for your loss ♥️
You are such a strong woman, you've been through so much, I am really sad for all the loss you've had, I hope next year is kinder to you ❤️
My wife and I spent 10 days in Ireland on vacation 3 years ago. The absolute BEST vacation either of us have ever had. We learned the Irish are a music loving people, and can play/sing with just about anyone. Saw a young lady walk into a pub, talk with the duet playing, and within 5 minutes had the entire bar singing along. Incredible place, Incredible people.
Glad you enjoyed yourself, hope you come back again to visit us.... Greetings from the South of Ireland. 🍀🇮🇪🍺🍻
As native Tennessean, I can proudly say Dolly is one of Tennessee's greatest treasures.
As a lifelong metalhead, but also a Tennessean, I will throw hands if someone talks smack about Dolly.
Awesome. She is one of those people who spreads joy with ease. She is on the Late Late Show - an Irish chat show - tonight and causing a huge stir.
Agreed
She is a national treasure and well loved
Dolly is one of the world's greatest treasures. There are guys living in caves in Afghanistan who haven't seen the sun for a decade but they know who Dolly is. Hahahahaha
Dolly once said " I've been called a dumb blonde but you know that I ain't dumb and I know that I ain't blonde."
Funny because as someone who lives one town over and has seen pictures of her as a very young child she is blonde.
@@whatisdoneinthedarkwillbeb9204 most children were born blonde but your hair colour gets darker when you get older
@@mols415 I was the only tow head growin up in a houseful of girls... and I have to pay for it now! 🤣 🤷♀️
I have to find the interview but I believe the second "blonde" reference is that she was insinuating that she is not an "Airhead" blonde. Replace the "and" with ";", separate the sentences. Dolly is certainly not a dumb person.
@@corvetteshorts4670 Dolly Parton is a self made multi multimillionaire from what used to be a hole in the wall mountain town, which because of her is actually a respectable tourist destination. So you're 100 percent right dolly isnt dumb she is a business genius and very talented musician and writer.
This has got to be the finest impromptu performance I ever saw; it’s the combination of Dolly’s immaculate rendition with that of Guitarist Steve Cooney - Dolly clearly has no idea who he is but no matter his accompaniment is superb. Thanks so much for posting. UA-cam at its best.
Loretta Lynn was from Butchers Holler Kentucky. Dolly is from around Sevierville, Tennessee. Both are small towns in the Appalachia Mountains. Dolly has done so much for her home state and her home county. When fire swept through the Smokey Mountains, Dolly helped so many people build their businesses and homes back. She has given so much to the education of children and the economy of Tennessee! Recently Tennessee wanted to put a statue of her in Nashville in the state capital and Dolly very humbly declined the honor. That is just how she is, a generous soul who gives and gives but so many of her contributions are done privately because she does it out of the goodness of her heart not for any fame or glory. Speaking as a Tennessean myself, I can think of no one else who is as respected and loved in our state as Dolly Parton. What a true blessing to the world she is.
Yes she does, my father lives in Sevierville, and my nephew is going to college completely free thanks to Dolly!
💕💕💕
to this day you can sign your kids up for her monthly book club
She also gave books to so many poor children that she drastically raised the literacy rate in tennessee. And she recently donated a TON to covid research. She’s literally one of the only people on earth I think is deserving of being called a saint. She has done nothing but help people around her. Even people who had wronged her. She still helped them in their times of need. I’m not religious, but I honestly believe she’s the closest thing to jesus we’ve gotten.
Had to include this. With the money this lovely lass makes, she gives it back to our young children, the next generation via The Imagination Library. Free age appropriate books monthly to children from birth to 5 yrs in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Republic of Ireland. Any caregiver can apply and receive said books in record time.
Would love to see other wealthy celebrities follow in her footsteps.
She is a true rags to riches story and a American treasure.
does she have 8 all ireland medals.... like the legend whose pub she was in....the chap beside her.... rip paudi o se
She’s a liberal douchebag. We no longer claim her in the south.
@@carl5381 she's still a kind person. Coming from a Republican here. And a Christian first.
@@carl5381 you're just rude.
Literally
In all fairness Steve Cooney could play with anybody ! He’s one of the most versatile musicians in the world. But what a performance from Dolly in an Irish country pub, no sound man, a mediocre PA system ,no ego and a lone guitarist ! It shows how good both of them really are! Fantastic performance.
This pub is as Irish as it gets..It's in the heart of an area in Kerry where Irish is spoken as the first language..Also some of greatest and best Irish Traditional Musicians, Singers & Dancers come from the area..The guy who owned the pub Paudi O She's ( also a famous Irish Gaelic Footballer) died suddenly a few years ago..Imagine someone of the calibre of Dolly Parton walking into your local pub..being asked to sing with musicians she had never heard of..She sure is a beautiful lady in heart & soul..
She's so confident, so poised... and she's very conscious of EVERY performance no matter how big or small. She's up there with Elvis, really. Only way more with it than Elvis ever was!
Good guitarist that's for sure
Who's the blonde girl howlering
now lets not forget to give credit to that very dedicated speaker turning man, he deserves every bit of it for understanding what was causing that feedback screech and intervening to solve it the best he could
Wonderful Dolly the world adores you!
She’s amazing. Who else would be so nice, stop eating their dinner, and sing a song for fans? She’s so kind. 💜🙏🏻
People who truly love music
Nobody tops Dolly.😊
She’s still very real. Never sucked up by fame.
No Autotune, no effects. Beautiful voice and beutiful appearance. Touching lyrics.
Dolly Parton is one of the world’s most wonderful human beings. God bless her always ❤️
Totally agree xxx
Her voice. Is the best
I've loved Dolly since I was a little kid. She just beams. When she passes away, hopefully in the very distant future, she'll surely have a crowd of souls numbering in the millions, just waiting to welcome her in heaven.
She's one of the most genuinely good and decent people out there. Lived in Tennessee for a while and came to know a little more about her philanthropy and her life. Truly a remarkable woman. Loves to entertain and loves the limelight, but does a lot of good with no intention whatsoever of seeking praise or attention for it.
@@kma3647 she should spread her philanthropy to poor mountain ppl. & not for books
When I got home from the pub,
... nobody believed me.
Shout out to Steve & Seamus 🌹🌿
You saw this live?
When that man held his heart when she had him sing harmony, that was a great moment.
Dolly is a woman who embodies a gentle kindness and compassion that is fading.
Dolly sounds good singing live with nothing but a microphone and standard speaker. She happily got up during her vacation to spontaneously entertain a small group of people. Talented, kind, friendly, generous, what more could people want. Good guitar backups, too.
She was home from home. Kindred spirits.
That was Steve Cooney from Australia who came to Ireland in early 80s to trace his Irish heritage.. He stayed.. He is an incredibly talented musician.. Dolly is an absolute legend.. That was in Paudie O Sheas pub in Dingle.. He was a famous footballer sadly no longer around
Steve looks like he's in Heaven :-)
Pretty sure she didn't need no microphone. She had massive lungs
Well it's December 2020 and we are still in lockdown and this made my day even though it was filmed in the 80's it's just as heartwarming today
Me too
I saw her ad Disneyworld on its 15th anniversary in 1986. I thought she looked the same.
Freedom costs!!!!!!!
Amen and a bible story!! Lol the technicolor dream coat xx
Yes so true.
I'm not a big Country fan, but that's a proper good jam session right there. Great job by the guitarist. And Dolly... 100% class, such a talented yet humble soul.
Wonderful clip, thanks for sharing it.
Edit: listening again and heard her say "I don't know another one..." at the end. Gracefully trying to get out of singing all night because she wants to go back to her friends. Lovely.
Dolly Parton is one of the true Angels left on this Earth. She's remarkably beautiful talented and humble person. God has definitely blessed her
No editing. No auto tune. Just old fashioned talent.
Editing takes time and training and autotune is a fusion of electronic effects and the voice rather than somehow perfecting the natural voice... your gonna piss off 50% of all working musicians with this attitude
@@guscox9651 Too bad. He made an honest comment. So the other 50% of working musicians agree with him on this.
I don't think he's putting down editing and tuning. Even the greatest artists use them, including Dolly herself when she's in the studio I'm sure. The point was simply that Dolly sounds absolutely amazing even without it.
Editing and auto tune should add something, but there should be some substance there in the first place.
Like you're losing the atmosphere and the warmth of a live performance, and some of the subtleties of tone etc...
So you make up for it with some reverb. Maybe you tidy up a few little inconsistencies at the same time.
But if you can't sing in tune, or produce a good, consistent tone, or just perform music properly, you've no business recording.
And dolly is clearly a consummate professional. Quite aside from having something unique, which she does, she has the polish of someone who has been doing it for years.
amen brother
Utterly astounding. She can project with a full studio orchestral backing and just as well with an unrehearsed single guitar. She is big time but HAS NO big time.
And WHAT a guitarist!
His impromptu accompaniment sounded like he'd done a rehearsal session earlier in the day.
One very capable and experienced working musician.
Sorry I can't give it more than one thumbs-up!
Don't worry, there are lots of people helping out with the upvotes, myself included. This is really a class act.
That's an Irish pub for you.... You go along and sing. The musicians are extremely talented because they play for the people. They know many a tune.
Crackerjack musicians all over Ireland! In the west anyway.
That's Steve cooney. He is indeed a great guitarist. There's a lot of great pub musicians in Ireland. And when you do make it, as he did playing trad, the scene's small enough you'll probably be playing occasional gigs in pubs anyway. Unless you're just continually touring abroad.
When it comes to tunes and ballads anyway. I've seen the likes of Andy Irvine and Donal lunny in pubs. Or Frankie Gavin or alec Finn. Big names, but they'll still take the odd small gig. Or maybe they'll just drop in for the craic if there's a session on anyway.
Oh yes indeed.Wonderful accompaniment .
When my son was about 11 years old he entered a Jaycee Relay Race. He’d never ran track before and didn’t know everybody wore shorts. He came in jeans, to everyone’s amusement. He ran the last leg for his team - and came away the fastest runner of the day, and made up considerable distance to win. This video made me think of that day. How I wish I had been able to see it, instead of only hear and read about it. I was a single mom and had to work. My son was an amazing athlete. ❤️

Thank you for sharing ❤
I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but is this a copypasta? I swear I've heard this story before. Have you copy and pasted it on other videos?
This world would be a wonderful place if everyone was as sweet as Dolly Parton.
But there will always be a Joelenne
Not many of the country singers today could get up in front of a crowd with nothing more than a guitar and make music like that unrehearsed, good job Dolley, classy lady.
Come to Ireland. Break out the tunes anywhere. I was at a FUNERAL and my guitar was in my car after a sesiún (Irish music get together) and they got me to sing a few tunes then we went to their house and we had 7 people playing music and loads doing set and shean ós dancing and there were possibly a few drinks .. but Irish culture in my opinion is the most lively/ fun thing EVER !!!!
You are so right..because the voice you hear in a recording now days is not what you hear in real time. It just goes to show how classy this lady is..This is no ordinary Irish pub..The Irish/Gaelic language is spoken fluently in it..and the owner (who is now deceased) was a famous Gaelic Footballer with his native county...Kerry.
@@sliotharball This is Paudie's pub, or Paddy Bawn's? Someone said it was Dick Macks.
@@sliotharball
Why do I think that Dolly would have loved a rendition of "The Rattlin' Bog"? I feel like she would have enjoyed that
I wish somebody just how professional the guitarist was to accompany her like that, flawlessly and with subtlety.
This is wonderful! Dolly is just a sweetie. The Irish love a good tune.
Some years ago my sister and her husband, a well-known musician from the area we live in on Vancouver Island (Canada) went on a trip to Ireland. At one pub they got chatting with the fellows there who were providing the musical entertainment and it was revealed that they were down a man so could not do their regular set. My cheeky sister told them they could "borrow my man" and told them how many instruments he could play.
So they did.
They had a great time, and even let my brother-in-law sing. He ended up teaching them one of the songs HIS band plays all the time. Anyway, they stopped in that town longer than planned because they asked him to come back the next two nights as well - and they tried to pay him but he didn't take it, so they kept the pints flowing, and declared him "honorary band leader".😂
When my sister and her husband had to continue on their journey, and it was determined where their next several stops were, the fellows in the band gave him contacts for some other pubs along the way, and so he ended up playing in at least 3 more places. They had an absolute blast.
Ireland is fabulous.
lovely story & yes, agree that Ireland is indeed fabulous!
I am English and had a similar experience, I was alone as I was visiting my young son who lived with my ex-wife who had moved to Ireland. I wanted to see what it was like in a real Irish pub. There I was having a beer and got chatting. There were some guys playing and I just happened to mention that I played guitar. A guitar was produced as if out of nowhere and I spent the rest of the evening trying to keep up with the locals and this was not easy. I didn't have to buy a drink for the rest of night and got quite merry. Someone guided me back to the B & B I was staying in as all I could remember was the name of the Landlady. At breakfast the next morning the Landlady had heard all about it. A great nation.
We love some good music and pride ourselves on our friendliness here 💚💚 🇮🇪🇮🇪
People are wonderful
Some years ago yes. Couldn't do it today.
I was going to say she's a national treasure but she's a world treasure. Love her.
Class and grace taught to all by a poor, little girl from Tennessee. Such an amazing woman!
My favorite quote by her, “It takes a lot of money to look this cheap.”
😁😁and another one when an interviewer commented on her tiny feet she said " honey nothing grows in the shade! " 😋😁😁
God damn. I always thought that was Ben Harper in Get it Like You Like It. Figures!
It takes the same amount to look classy indeed.
That was gold but my favorite is when the interviewer asked if she got upset when people said she was just a dumb blonde. She said no because I know I’m not dumb and I know I’m not blonde.
best quote was about her being dumb and blonde: "I am not dumb or blonde!"
This is what true professionals do, they can sing anytime without those auto-tones, nor gimicks...love Dolly!!!
It's also what people do who absolutely love their craft. And she proved that music is the remedy when religion and politics tear us apart.
Dolly Parton is authentically Dolly
A great singer, and a great songwriter!
Her voice is amazing perfectly in tune and she's always ultra Professional , very few singers can just step up and sing and sound like they do in a studio live
I love how she turned to the guitarist to include him in the vocals. A very sweet gesture on Dolly’s part. And then the audience, too. Thank you for posting this lovely video!
Who else was raised on this beautiful woman's music? Timeless...
Whatever you think of her music, she's genuine. She's never needed any electronic help and she grew up living the lyrics to many of her songs.
She's a genuinely talented person. I'm not really into country music, but I love Dolly and Loretta Lynn because they're truly amazing singers.
@@juneebennett22 She wrote many of her own songs, and gave a loan to some people.
She's written more than 3000 songs.
Quality artist and song writer, that cannot be denied.
True. I'm not a country music fan, but I do appreciate Dolly has abundant talents. Enough that, you know, I'm watching a video with her in it, even though this ain't really my scene.
She’s as good as it gets, never forgot her humble beginnings. I’m sure she has helped many and never advertised it. If her mother could see her now.
She actually bought "dollywood" (her amusement park in Tenn.)so that area would have jobs. Now that's thinking about others, then making it happen. WOW
I know someone who works directly for her. I have been to her studio in Nashville. She is genuine and humble. She is a woman of faith. She provided me with an autographed picture for another friend of mine who has a special needs daughter with Rhetts syndrome ( a form of autism) that was a fan of hers. The girl couldn’t talk but loved Dolly’s music and the CD she also was given. I like her humor and she seems down to earth to me. I wish more so called celebrities would be more like her.
Dolly is a beautiful person both inside and out.
That guitarist was amazing... The whole performance was flawless.... You just don't see this kind of stuff anymore... awesome, Dolly!
The guitarist is Steve Cooney. He played on what was the highest selling all time album in Ireland until it got knocked in to 2nd place in 2001. Christy Moore-Live at the Point. Cooney’s guitar is magic on it.
Dolly just added 4 and a half million to her fan club.
Ireland has 6.5 million people
@@dlowry1984 republic has 4.5 northern has 2
She's played with lots of Irish artists including Altan...
Beauty is as beauty does.This woman is exemplary.
Love her soul. The audience call for more. She says " I don't know any other ones." She recognizes it's their night. She doesn't want to steal the evening. Kindness never gets old.
Two greats: Dolly Parton and Irish folk. Among my treasure chest of memories is singing in a pub in County Clare.
Exactly why Dolly will always be the queen of country music.
She adapted her vocal style to compliment their playing style. A wonderful sense of ensemble and a great musician.
This is so bad ass. She didnt have to do that. Everyone should try some of Dolly's humble pie.
Dolly Parton would never dare act better than you, even though she's better than any of us.
What an unexpected and precious moment. I am so glad someone had the presence of mind to record this -- this video being from 1990, not everyone had video recording capability on their cell phone. Hell, not everyone had a cell phone, let alone in Ireland.
Makes me wonder
No one had a cell phone in 1990
@@Emma-ex8gx yes that what he exactly said.
This was definitely recorded on a video camera. We didn't even have mobile (cell) phones yet in Ireland unless you were a big business person, and they were still those chunky 80s ones.
I love the way she laughs. So so cute. And her accent too. She's a charming woman
Every time I read or see anything about Dolly it's clear that she's a gracious and charming lady.
She hit it lucky having the enormously talented Steve Cooney on the guitar. He is quite a star in his own right.
I believe Seamus Beagley was in there as well.
@@Doodles1947 ah is that who then unseen Seamus is there?
@@Doodles1947 I amazed he didn't try and get involved, he's a notorious stage hogger
@@aidankeane8971 😁😂🤣
Although that looked completely off the cuff, she looked in full make up, guitarist knew what he was doing and a nice camera to film it. Nevertheless, the small setting with no gimmicks or effects is a setting every musician big or small should be able to perform in. Sadly not many can.
Nothing more alluring then natural feminine energy to me. Dolly is such a lady. Gorgeous with a beautiful voice ❤️
Singing for free in a pub! Such a beautiful woman. I’m seeing this for the first time! Thank you for posting!
Apparently that was Steve Cooney. A well renowned Irish musician around those parts He was proud to be playing along side Ms Parton but he was no slouch! She's always been a humble and gracious performer!
Actually Steve is an Australian. I used to live with him in Melbourne. He's an amazing man.
Standing just to her right was another famous person, and I think owner of the pub, was Paudie O'Shea, multiple Kerry All-Ireland football winner and a star i his own right. I think he was star struck by her too!

One half of "Begley & Cooney"
Thank you. Every time I hear her sing this it makes this 65 year-old cry, maybe for myself, maybe for that little girl, I don't know. And now that little girl provides help and literacy to the children growing up how and where she did. An amazing woman, a gift from God, IMO.
I totally agree. One of a kind 💖
Absolutely. I get teary to at that amazingly true song. Really who wouldn't with a soft heart..
Paul she actually has a foundation which helps small libraries everywhere to get literacy books
@@RangerMelB Indeed. And in an interview/documentary I saw somewhere it showed how she was doing even more for the kids from her home district. (My comment wasn't an exhaustive commentary on her work and generosity :0). Cheers.
Im a 6 foot 3 inch tall 47 year old man and she brought me to tears repeatedly during that performance...
She sings just as well after a few Guinesses. Seriously, this really cheered me up. Thanks for posting.
This shows that a truly talented artist can perform at anytime and doesn’t need a lot of fancy electronic gizmos to do so. Thank you to both pure artists.
i once met a bloke who had worked with Dolly on a few concerts . he said "im not a religious man at all, but if there was a second coming , its a woman and she's here already ''
Slinky cowboy - I'm an old man who blessedly does not feel old . I grew up in an America that frequently hated me because of my skin color . That was during the 1950's when America was totally different . It was a time when local laws were so strict that there were no stores open on Sundays and no work done except cooking the Sunday meal . But, as the song says: that was "long long ago". I now live in a country where God has been placed in exile . A country where corruption and dishonesty are more common than their corollaries . So now, I too, have learned to be skeptical of what I see and hear . The "school of life" taught those things. Thus, when I read your comment about the bloke who used to work with Dolly, I was looking for a choice tidbit that would at last, disclose the "chink in her armor ". But, the bloke's true story showed me that she is a true angel . I was brought instantly to tears as I reminisced of a troubled young country that was, in those times , confused , addled , and hubristic , while simultaneously, being innocent , Constitutionally and Spiritually driven , and FREE …
@@frankglasco3075 you’re country is still young. It will and is finding its way 👍 not to mention really beautiful
I hear ya man
@@frankglasco3075 you right its over. Multiculture = no culture.Best case now is the states detach to be more independent As the founders intended anyway.
Did you see her Christmas special this year (2020) she looked like an angel in that white outfit, esp at the end! 😇
Imagine a person being on vacation and being asked, “Hey, can you come in and do some work today?”, and for that person to be smiling and happy and enjoys to do their work! What a fantastic moment to see captured on film! Thank you for this!
And still you get that miserable dickhead in the white shirt in the front row...
@@cameroncooper4175 I almost wonder if he's part of her security detail.....
@@cameroncooper4175 it would have cost nothing for him to smile. I wonder if he told a tale of when some woman called Dolly got up and sang a song in the local bar and he was wanting the next act to star?
a REAL musician is someone that works of 8 hours, then goes somewhere and does it for free for another 4-5 hours (my Uncle John)
I was stationed in Alaska forty years ago. One day at work a friend told me I should have been at The Pines the night before. He said Hank Williams Jr. was up doing some hunting and he had stopped in. The band invited him up and he played a whole set.
So much love in Dolly’s heart it spills our and flows around her wherever she goes…❤️
Dolly has to be the most grounded celebrity alive. Such a wonderful woman who has never forgotten her roots.
Never been to Ireland but I've heard of Irish hospitality , and this just shows it at its best . great singer , lovely song , great people 👍
This is Irish hospitality
Get over and experience it for yourself
Every bar in the country can be like this
Come to Ireland its magic
@Christ in Shades Yep. Very true.
Come on over to Ireland...You will not want to leave ❤
@Christ in Shades True...but not every where in the world have scenery like Ireland has an thats a fact...😃
That’s Dolly! She is kind hearted, caring, loving, fun, never meets a stranger and always appreciates her fans. She is genuine no matter where she is in the world.
AMEN ✌️💞
You are so right!
It’s hard to think of another performer who still sounds as good after more than 55 years in business, let alone being able to deliver an impromptu of such quality as this.
Amazing. Dolly’s voice literally gives me goosebumps.
Do you have the "Trio" Albums she recorded with Emmy Lou Harris and Linda Ronstadt? Great songs and great harmonies
Could we just preserve her forever? This woman is pure magic, and a true wonder of the world. The nicest, most talented ray of sunshine, beaming her light on everyone lucky enough to bask in her warmth!
National treasure.
@@suzannarobinson4726 * International treasure
I truly wish so... But sadly one day she must return to the maker (just like we all must)... But Dolly will leave her beautiful songs behind for us to continue to enjoy. 🙂
@Alan Stock I was going to say the same thing 🤣 I think she’s already been embalmed 🤣
When I was in elementary and middle school my grandmother and mother made all my clothes and everyone made fun of me I know how Dolly felt because I loved what they made for me. My mother loved Dolly and she made a skirt with different color strips of fabric that somewhat matched for me and herself.
I know how you and Dolly both felt because my Mom made some of my clothes and her best friend Rose,who was touring with us,made my other things. I would also be one of those who got made fun of in school because I wore hand made jeans,shirts and dresses. They may not have been as fine as store bought,but I liked em just fine. I was also always the new kid in school. We toured the entire Western half of the US,and I would only make half the semester and we'd be off again to another town. No home base,no friends.
All a long time ago,.......
What a lovely story!
This is truly an amazing video. A truly selfless woman who once again, easily gave of herself when she clearly didn't have to. It is impossible, even if you're not a country music fan, not to love Dolly Parton. And big time props have to be given to the guitarist, Steve Cooney, for doing such an amazing job himself. A truly feel-good moment in music history!
I really believe Dolly is a genuine person and didn't forget where she came from. Bless her heart ❤️
Dolly Parton is an absolute treasure. She delivers this with the same professionalism and sincerity as if 10,000 paying fans were there.
And an Irish crowd CAN sing ... How sweet.
The crowd does look a little intimidated
Just goes to show what a true vocalist Dolly is. No effects added at a mixing board. Just straight and dry through a microphone and a single powered stand amplifier. Awesome.
Very true!
Exactley
Dolly is such a Special Person ... Talent ... Grace ... & Humor. And Lord knows, No one has more Charisma. She's a Bright Light, in a Dark World.
To be there that night.....
To see this moment in person......
There are dozens of people that remember being there in that moment...
Right place Right time....
Pure magic....
This woman carries life, joy and music wherever she goes. She's truly a friend to all.
She is a real person. She makes everyone around her feel special. A very generous artist.
Totally agree.
I really can't express my admiration for Dolly. Kind, generous, incredibly talented and always a lady of her own choosing. and gracious beyond fault. 👍🌹🤩
She’s a class act and a wonderful cultural ambassador!
She's a really sweet loving person. Many of todays artists could learn a thing or two from this very talented lovely lady.
i'm not a dolly parton fan...nor c&w at all...but this is just beautiful. Spontaneous magic. She seems to be a lovely person...with a great voice undoubtedly...and a very generous spirit too apparently....:)....how could anyone 'dislike' this...
Irish or not. Her soul is always the music of love. Country lady.
Dolly is such a beautiful and talented woman. There will never be another like her. You could tell by their faces that every man around her was so smitten.
Good on her for being a good sport and singing that song. Must have made everyone's night in that pub.
Dolly is a wonderful human being. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like her. ❤️❤️❤️
I hate her 😉
Only kidding. She's lovely 😍
272 people must do but they're probably nasty bitter and twisted.
Agree .... she’s just a wonderful woman .
@@markwestwood9730 Agree. This world is full of weirdos .
@@markwestwood9730 I just assumed they were Magic Johnson fans.
She's one of the few artists I have a high level of respect for. Beautiful song!
Dolly is an angel on Earth!
She is her own girl -fearless, confident, and smart as a whip. I love her.
And beautiful too.
@@Skelly5962 I was going to say that so I will say....talented too.
For Dolly, it looks like it was a fun and enjoyable evening. For the rest of the people there, it was a night they'd talk about for the rest of their lives.
No autotune, just pure Dolly.....like heaven....
I cant say what is more beautiful? Dolly. Dolly`s voice. the song. the courage on the guitar man to ask his idol to sing with. the Irish people. or the momment itself.
Everything about this is CLASS. The performance, the appreciation, the guitar player, the audience, and the incredible Dolly Parton! Wow imagine a superstar rocking up in your local!
It's the truth of gospel singing, the truth of the branches being the church who stay connected to the gospel of Jesus

@@lauralishes1 Nope, bad lighting, definitely not 70 mm, no boom mic, no camera stablelizer, wrong outfit for the lighting, I'm in the entertainment industry and you are way off.
@@sdagonz67 And yet Dolly looks as gorgeous as ever.
She was always friendly, charming and respectful of those around her, never offended. People should study how she behaved. No one dislikes Dolly.
Dolly Parton donated $1 million _OF HER OWN MONEY_ to Moderna to help in their development of a Covid-19 vaccine - before that skank in the W.H. bothered to even THINK of a vaccine, let alone hand out taxpayer's money to any pharmaceutical companies. Moderna's vaccine was developed WITHOUT government intervention, and I was very glad, and proud, to receive their vaccine!

Oh bless her, "my name is Dolly", not taking for granted at all that people will know who she is. I love her.
That's a pure voice like a mountain stream. We'll never see her like again in this life.
Perfectly said. That is exactly what her voice reminds me of.
She's not dead! She's still alive and singing!
Or any other life.
@Concerned Citizen , obviously it is over your head. The comment isn't only about talent. It's about how she has never let fame and fortune change her. She is still the sweet humble mountain girl that she was raised to be. You missed the point completely.
@@wheelzwheela
"Like a mountain stream"... wow, what a wonderful description Dolly would appove
