THE IRISH ROVERS SILVER ANNIVERSARY 1989

Ойын-сауық

The Irish Rovers (Will Millar, George Millar, Jimmy Ferguson, Joe Millar & Wilcil McDowell) celebrated their 25th year together with a Silver Anniversary CBC SuperSpecial in 1989 in their pub The Unicorn in Vancouver, B.C. Canada. They reminisced and sang favourite songs as well as a couple of new ones like the finale written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, and performed on stage with Randy Bachman (BTO) and Bill Henderson (Chilliwack), John Reynolds, and with comedian Jimmy Kennedy in comedy sketches. Cameo appearances included Anne Murray, Johnny Cash, Roger Miller, Vera Lynn, B J Thomas, Lonnie Donegan, Waylon Jennings, Carl Perkins, Roger Whittaker as well as Lambchop (Shari Lewis), Pat Boone and Tanya Tucker. If you look closely during "Let's All Sing Together" at 9:00, you'll see guests The Clancy Brothers, Brenda Lee, John Davidson, Rita Coolidge, Jim Stafford, Andy Stewart,, Frank Ifield, Janie Fricke, Tom T Hall, Catherine McKinnon and Glenn Yarbrough. NOW WASN'T THAT A PARTY!

    I saw the Irish Rovers on TV in 1969. They were on WPIX New York playing in Gaelic Park on St. Patrick's Day. They were great. I've seen them twice since, but both times were after Will had left the group and Jimmy was gone. The new lineup is good too, but I wish I could have seen the original lineup live.

    When I was a young boy living way back in the hills of Connemara these Irish Rovers, they were living at the bottom of my garden, they were up to something, into trouble causing fights and arguments with their neighbors Many times I had to go out in the middle of the dark night and sort things out,

    No.....any group can be replaced per say....NOT replicated. Basicly the same but I'm sure no group can come close to them

    Did they have a version of ‘Puff...’? I remember the version by Peter, Paul & Mary. The hit I remember most from the Irish Rovers in those days was ‘The Unicorn’.
