All those boys The Clancy Brothers and their dear 1st cousin Tommy Makem along with the Dubliners were in a class of their own, they were flipping brilliant storytellers, historians, teachers, advisers, musicians, they were all born to play and tell the stories of Ireland and other lands from all over this world.

Some folks have a special charisma, and Ronnie is one of them. What a great icon of Irishness. May Ronnie's music be pleasing to God and the angels! RIP Ronnie.

I love them all may them all Rest In Peace. There will never be the likes of them again. Brilliant musicians. God Bless.

Ireland have a special culture, protect it with all your might.

Ronnie what a man to tell a story he was class and he is missed sorely by everyone who ever heard that wonderful voice of his

I love their attitude to playing. they just get up and do it, no fucking around! Rest easy Barney, and Ronnie!

Ronnie - you are not just a colorful singer but also a colorful storyteller! We shall miss you - RIP.

Ronnie was a straightforward shooter. He’s on the level of Johnny Cash.

Clancy Brothers and The Dubliners are the best Irish singers for ever !!!! It's make me Always happy. They are unknown in France, but me I know them, and every morning , in my bathroom, they sing for me😜

These legends can't be replaced, I'm so happy to exist with them

I feel blessed as a 49 year old to have grown up weened on the teat of Clancy brothers and Dubliners music. I’m probably the youngest of those who did. I’m not even Irish. But my mum loved the fiddle and there was only so much American folk with good fiddle work. Ahh. Nice memories. Thanks for the vid.

There will be no one again with the humour, intelligence , musically brilliant and craic like Ronnie Drew and all the Dubliners plus Planxty and all the real Irish Bards!! Love ye xx

The Clancys were like, the clean Mr Rogers version of the Dubliners in sweaters😁.

This is mighty. Gay Byrne had great respect for our native music and song. Purists owe him a hell of a debt. These programmes are badly needed these days. I wonder' will we ever again have groups like The Clancy's and The Dubliners.?

John O'Connor it would be nice if the tradition was carried on. I would hate to see ballads and rebel songs die. sadly, this music is rarely heard on local radio these days. the media have decided that these songs are not trendy enough. there is plenty of traditional music around, but ballads and rebel songs could be in danger. it seems that no one wants to sing these songs anymore. let's hope that someone will preserve them.

Ronnie ronnie ronnie we miss you. God bless your soul

The Dubliners became a much-loved household name here in England, especially after their smash hit Seven Drunken Nights, but we'd hardly heard of Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers more's the pity, probably because they were based in the USA and Ireland and never gigged in England as far as I know.

mary jane Prouty - in 1958 aged 10 on a school trip to London our teachers took us into the snooty Lyons Corner House for a meal but the chips were cold and soggy. I learnt from that example that posh people looked down on us ordinary english. That's how it's always been, for example in Victorian times things were pretty grim for ordinary folks while the upper classes didn't care and were invading places like Ireland to line their pockets.. So when I hear some Irish saying "we hate the english", that's not really fair on the ordinary english who suffered at the hands of the toffs just as much.. PS- an IRA bomb went off in Leicester (England) in 1990, it rattled our windows 2 miles away and woke up our cat but miraculously nobody was hurt. Beats me what our cat had done to upset the Irish?..;)

emerkelly3 Think ya have it a bit wrong

I used to sing this with a group of male friends, for which the other women in the group HATED me! I didn't understand their rage until I became a mother myself. In my defense, I only found the song funny at the time, because being so young I didn't understand the world really can be this evil. So it seemed preposterous and therefore funny. Also, we had an added last verse, the last line of which I delivered using my best (very bad) Boris Karloff impression. We pronounced this in a more 'Long John Silver' type of accent. "The moral of the story is, Weela, weela, WY-oh, Don't stick knives in Babby's 'eads!, Down by the River si-yo."

The best song ever I love it for its true

Vaya con Dios Liam Clancy & brothers

Ronnie , for some reason or other , just couldn't bring himself to say anything about The Clancy Brother's music , let alone anything positive . I think he just felt that his own band , The Dubliners , were better musically than any other Irish folk group .

I must be dreaming. Or have I imagined my wake, James?

Top Irish men

The Dubliners without Ronnie Drew lead singing, is not the Dubliners

Treasure....

You're already missed Ronnie

Such a stark contrast between Byrne's prissy, condescending, supercilious manner and Ronnie's laid-back affability and natural charm....I cringed at the bit where Gay starts herding and directing them up to the floor as if they were children. Ronnie would have wiped the floor with him as a chat show host!
