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,
I ❤ these songs ,I never get tired of hearing and singing these songs especially the UNICORN song, THANK you.
My father had Italian heritage but use to go in the hotel pub on St Pat’s Day and sing Irish songs for people in there miss those days he is singing in heaven now .
The Unicorn Pub in Calgary was THE place to go, especially on St. Paddy's Day. Love these guys.
This is true Irish joy and we have all been enriched by these talented Irishmen. Thanks, Rovers.
This has brought back some really fun memories of my childhood, watching them and singing with my Dad.
You guys will never be replicated

No.....any group can be replaced per say....NOT replicated. Basicly the same but I'm sure no group can come close to them
We lost the 2 out of the 4 best irish rovers ever
This old unicorn still enjoys the Irish Rovers. and still enjoy them more than ever from Australia
I was 17 years old when I went to see The Irish Rovers at the Seattle Center with my. 2 girlfriends . I'm 68 years now.
If you are Irish and this doesn't bring joy tears to your face, well, I don't know what
Memories
I love real old days of these singers
Incredibly sweet. The special effects were better than modern day CGI IMO.
Grate Irish music
I'm from Newfoundland and I couldn't wait for them to come on CBC television. Oh, the memories.
I remember these grand fellows from my youth. I am Irish on my dad's side. I guess my favorite was the Unicorn, but have heard songs I have never heard until tonight. Love it! Deme from the USA😊
Was the Best time around the Kitchen 🤣🌈👍
I love them singing puff the magic dragon 🐲 xxx

I've been wanting to see this again - in its entirety - for a very long time, so thank you so much for posting this. The Irish Rovers were (and still are) my favourite band. Thank you again.

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’.
