Gaughan is a national treasure. Actually no... An international treasure!

I stand, as an Englishman, in solidarity with Connolly, and Dick Gaughan; the greatest Socialist bard these islands ever saw.

Same here, solidarity from America.

This is from TG4, the Irish-language television network in Eire. Also, it was great that the presenter was wearing a keffiyeh as she did her introduction. Nice way to tie the struggles of the past to those of the present.

Dick Gaughan is part of my (musical) Blessed Trinity. He's the best!!

A mighty song for a mighty man.

Who? Karan Casey gets my vote.

Terrific!! There's nobody sings better than Gaughan! Nobody!

Never forget James Connolly was a Scotsman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪

James connolly was ther....God bless

They destroyed his body, but they could never kill the man

I love you Karan. You are my legend :D x

Dick is probably the best folk acoustic guitarist in the world maybe?..Just my opinion..Rock on Scottish Irishman..

The melody sounds like Brennan on the Moore.

thanks for putting the song in a celtic working class context...

Karan is legend! :D x

Dominic Behan wrote the song years before it was recorded by Ray.

@inonthekilltaker1 Hey, we're all Celtic...what does it matter where who was born where? Saor Alba agus Eireann!!!

i need all the episode pl ? is that possible to send it ? thanks

@abelpaws Gaughan's never recorded the song as far as I know.

As a Welsh speaker who has attended eithdofi ........ Google denies me the bright to spell it properly , so we will use the B***d tounge. Hands across the sea. Every time I think Welsh is awkward I look to my cousins in Eiran.

@DonegalRaymie201 The fact that he isn't an Irishman, He is half Scot and half Irish. James Connolly had 2 Irish Parents, Gaughan, only one. Trying to take the crown all for yourself? haha ;-)

@DonegalRaymie201 Could Connolly sing like him though??

Connolly was described by this new kid on the block, the UK trade union leader as 'an Irish socialist' leader. It suddenly showed me how much he knew.

Edinburgh-born. He leant much of socialism in UK and joined, agitated for socialist organistions in the States. The Ireland back then and right up into the 60s, 70s, 'socialist' ideas were (well basically scarce).

@inonthekilltaker1 Donegalramyie doesnt like anything irish, ur right about him claiming everything here for the crown!

He looks a bit like Jimmy Barnes

Not entirely correct with your facts there, Raymie, boy but I agree with the sentiment all the same.

I thought this version was good until i heard Declan Hunt's version /watch?v=mYtAQLiRbKc
