One of the best Irish songs I've ever heard and it's incredible

R.I.P SIR!

That is what a funeral should be like. Some good old friends, companions and beer. It’s amazing. I am speechless. I prefer a pub, not a church anymore.

Without church, you're just a drunk. With church, you're a drunk with soul. The entire Irish pub experience is built on a history of soulful drunkenness. Neglect the church, live in the ruins of the past until even the ruins are dust. No, my friend. Something sacred animates this. It's up to us to find out what. The people who built these pubs knew something that us moderns have forgotten to our peril.

"The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad, For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad."

Hits hard more than ever this song, wish we had the rare oul times back again

To walk in to a pub, and be so privileged to here such music and singing, would be something that would stay with me forever.

I had never been to a wake as such. A very good friend, collapsed and died in Portugal. His wife arranged a wake in my bar. People arrived from all over Ireland. His sons were fabulous singers along with Karaoke. Never have I ever seen so much love and respect in celebrating a life. RIP Larry. ❤

Amazing❤. Just amazing. Big love from Norrköping sweden

it's great to hear traditional folk singing, not everyone appreciates it, But having been a folk singer brilliant!!!!

I’ve watched this so many times

oh what a wonderful culture, fantastic 👏👏👏. Greetings from East Germany ✌️

it does'nt get any better than that in a million lifetimes.xx

Guys I'm from Newfoundland and I absolutely sang along with this one ,ta bron orm ,slan

Very proud boys from a proud Irish man living in Australia god bless

I find this highly emotional to watch and listen to. It’s so amazing to watch. I’m not Irish but dream one day of visiting Ireland and being in a pub like this to witness something like this. Something I’d never forget.

May this video never be lost

Visited Ireland over several years in the mid 60's on businuss, in the evening around Dublin, several places like this around Dublin. Goods entertainment. Remember speaking to a couple of American girls, asked were there was a "singing pub".

There's nothing like this in America. I was born in the wrong country and my Irish ancestors weep for me.

Love to see people talking and doing their thing and the singers carryon and nobody has an issue

Fantastic tunes great voices. Unbelievable loyalty to a departed friend. Up the liberty's.

I want to be there, even if it's a sad occasion. I hope people do this for me when my time comes.

Me Uncle John came from the city and I'll never stop miising him. He was, and is, for alaways, me Uncle John Murphy!!! ...love. always and never a bad word x that's love x

I listen to this song 10 times in a row n never get bored of it love it n I listen to it everyday ❤️❤️❤️

A 'thumbs-up' or simple 'like' is so not what I wanted to honour this video with... There should be a special icon for 'heartfelt love'. This is what I feel for all the men sharing their grief and singing this song.

Honor and care for who you are beautiful, I have great respect for how you understand each other, respect and are proud of your country.

I met Pete a few years back on the deck of the Jeannie Johnson for a famine memorial & the Guy had such a heart for all of us Aul'' stormers & messers !! I may quote the others & say it was surreal !!

I'm Irish on my Mother's side. The only other Country she has ever visited is Ireland and she said it was beautiful and always dreamed of going back. I one day hope to visit this beautiful countryside of Ireland.

That's why Ireland is the most magic place in the entire world! ❤

As American. Not even Irish. It special to see friends sing about someone they loved. Emotional.

There’s a lot of mighty talented musicians/singer sat around that table.

Awesome Irish music

These must be the best times of their lives .. they will never forget .. singing together is the finest thing there is.

Oh the years have made you bitter... This song was written by Pete St. John about Dublin in the 1970's about the changes back then. Dublin has changed utterly again since then; the grey unyielding concrete having yielded to glass and steel. But a city is more than it's buildings, monuments and infrastructure. So here we are in 2022 with Dubliners still being Dubliners; they're not singing this song to look back in anger, they're singing it to celebrate the life of the man who wrote it.

Ring a ring a rosie as the lights declines, I remember Dublin city in the rare oul times. Raised on songs and stories, heroes of renown, The passing tales and glories, that once was Dublin town, The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting children's rhymes, That once was Dublin city, in the Rare Oul Times. Ring a ring a rosie as the lights declines, I remember Dublin city in the rare oul times. My name it is Sean Dempsey as Dublin as could be Born hard and late in Pimlico in a house that ceased to be My trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy Like my house that fell to progress my trade's a memory And I courted Peggy Dignan, as pretty as you please, A rogue and child of Mary, from the rebel liberties, I lost her to a student chap, with skin as black as coal, When he took her off to Birmingham, she took away my soul. Ring a ring a rosie as the lights declines, I remember Dublin city in the rare oul times. The years have made me bitter, the gargle dims me brain 'Cause Dublin keeps on changing and nothing seems the same. The Pillar and the Met have gone, the Royal long since pulled down As the grey unyielding concrete makes a city of my Town. Ring a ring a rosie as the lights declines, I remember Dublin city in the rare oul times. Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey, I can no longer stay, And watch the new glass cages, that spring up along the quay, My mind's too full of memories, to old to hear new chimes, I'm a part of what was Dublin, in the Rare Oul Times. Ring a ring a rosie as the lights declines, I remember Dublin city in the rare oul times. Ring a ring a rosie as the lights declines, I remember Dublin city in the rare oul times.

I dream to visit Ireland! I’m not crying, you are. What a bunch of wonderful people!

If you listen to the quality of paddy reilly's voice versus him singing the same song 20-30-40 years before, today's voice has a much fuller and deeper quality to it. Perhaps it is all the nights in the pubs and concert halls, but I certainly love today's version. God bless Paddy Reilly. There is something about the quality of paddy reilly's voice that has a richness to it. I don't know how to explain it, but his voice is very comforting to my ear. God bless us all.
