    Anytime you are going through a difficult time put this song 🎵 on, and remember how difficult things were for our ancestors, and then come back to your here and now, it won't seem so bad after all. Love this song with all my heart. God bless you Pete for writing it and Paddy for singing it so gracefully. ☘

    That's right, Eamonn had been guesting with The Dubliners for quite a while, but they wouldn't get a permanent fifth member whilst Ciaran was still alive, as they considered it his spot, even though there was no chance he would be able to return. After Ciaran's death, Eamonn got his membership card.
