Sad that they're gone forever, but thank God for videos like this to remind us of better times.

Gone but never forgotten. Their music lives on in all of us,who enjoyed The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Make RIP Lads ☘️☘️

Of all the covers of this song I have ever come across, I love Makem & Clancy the best of all.

Thank God for their lives and music. RIP Fellows

I'll miss them all until my last breath.

I've been all about folk music since I was 11 y.o. (1959) and saw Makem and the Clancy Bros on the Ed Sullivan show. I've played stringed instruments now for almost 60 years and the magic is stronger than ever. Erin go Bragh!

Dave Siler}, then You were and Are a very lucky man that you Heard and Saw this remarkable man life on stage. I do admire you a big bit. For me there’s the little pleasure i saw dear old Luke twice live in a concert in, as i recall that well, 1982 and again in ‘85. But about the last date i’m not totally sure. I only do know for sure that it was just a cóuple of months before His tragic death. Far too young very sadly.... Just as that great Scot Andy M. also did tragically. His voice was also superb!!

This a beautiful rendition of the Ballad of St. Anne's Reel. St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner.

You don't get much better than this. We can all be thankful that _The High Kings_ are carrying on a great tradition! ☘

One of my favorites! Never got to hear it live because where I heard them was too far to bring a fiddler.

Love it!! So pleased these recordings are preserved for us all to enjoy. Tommy, Liam and Mr fiddle player - thank you!

nakima61 i’m so lucky that we’re not the only who Enjoy the Music very, very múch

Great singing(and tricky lyrics) from Tommy and Liam.....not to mention mighty fiddle playing from Martin Murray from Liams home town of Carrick on Suir Co. Tipperary.

Shane McGowan’s there too. All the heroes of Irish music Paddy Maloney, Sean Keane, Derek Bell. It’s going to be one Hell of a party.

Interesting. I'd never heard them sing it. First one I'd ever heard sing it was John Denver, so I've always liked his version the best. Still do. :) But great video, nonetheless.

I'll check John's out. While this is good and they are great singers, I find it more of a pub singalong style.

You can’t beat this. I loved John Denver but this is explosive.

Love this! So exciting to see something "new"! I never got to see Ballad of St. Anne's Reel live, because the fellas couldn't afford to bring a fiddle to any of the venues where I saw them. Been one of my huge favorites ever since I first heard it! Thank you, Anonymous! (I think I know who you are, but I won't spill the beans!)

Joan Miller, also my thanks for those kind words of you Joan!! Although there not for me, they ‘speak’ such a gréat Love for this Music!! It’s a Márvellous duet!!

Great Dave Mallet song done well by Liam and Tommy. Nice fiddling by the Waterford guy, whistle by Tommy.

a Pérfect song sung by Pérfect Irish Musicians!!

Those were the days❤️

Love this version of The Ballad of the St Anne's Reel. Johnny McEvoy with Phillip playing fiddle sang a very good version of this Ballad.

Beautiful,

That's the way it's done

For some reason i think this is better than the dubliners version. Makem and Clancys voices bring it across much better

I don't remember seeing Liam playing anything besides a guitar or concertina, but apparently he did play the bodhran sometimes. Maybe Tommy taught him, he played it on plenty of songs.

It all about doing it right

They are American

Another Irish singer that does this song is Jason MCGilligan
