George's many years in Vancouver, Canada come through in his accent. The Irish Rovers had a TV show on the CBC, from 1971-1977. I was very little then, and I loved that show, especially the Leprechauns segments that used the then-new chromakey technology. George played the Twerp, the youngest of the three leprechauns. Several episodes of the show, and compilations of the Leprechauns segments are on UA-cam. They're well wirth watching.
I saw The Irish Rovers only once, many years ago in Cherry Hill, NJ. I would welcome the chance to see them again someday. They put on a wonderful show.
A traditional New Zealand sea shanty, made famous recently on tik-tok by Scotsman Nathan Evans 'The Singing Postman' who sparked a worldwide craze on sea shanties, and had a #1 hit in the UK.
Such heart-warming words from Mr. Millar about positive outlook for the kids of today getting a chance to fall in love with the old tunes.

I've added the extra two verses to my own cover lyrics because the boys are awesome.

Thank you for sharing this George. Brings back some great memories of your earlier years.
