Luke Kelly - Bunclody download song

Wasn't he really Ireland's balladeer? I'm sure they are happy in Heaven, with Luke and Ronnie.

neven to be forgotten

This guy could sing,love his voice,thanks Luke RIP.

Apparently, this was Luke's favourite song, it was taught to him by a teacher who lived there, I live a few miles from Bunclody myself

just close your eyes and let Luke do the rest banjo as sweet as his voice RIP

That's amazing because when I heard Luke sing this particular song I knew there would never be a voice that could ever compete with him.It is the passion he sings this song with and I have always thought no person could ever sing with the passion that Luke did.You only have to listen to' Scorn not his simplicity'. It is such a shame that when I mention Luke was part of the Dubs that people just associate them with beer drinking songs.Until I heard this song in the 80's I couldn't decide who were the better folk group the Dubs or the Corries but this song clinched it for me.As an aside the Dubs were always regarded as an Irish rebel group and in their early days they did sing some rebel songs.I don't think Luke was comfortable with this as he was more involved with the music of the great Ewan MColl and latterly Phil Coulter.I recently heard a couple of CD's by the Corries and almost every song was about a conflict with the English or clan fighting clan.Ironic that Luke and Roy Williamson should both die of a brain tumor. Luke you are miles ahead of any other singer and you are a true legend and your name will be remembered forever.RIP Luke.Kelly are you still living in Hamilton?!! I'm still there!

The master at his best.

god rest you Luke, there will never be another...

Saw The Dubliners in London in the sixties ( Croydon Fairfield Halls and somewhere else). The original line-up - Luke Kelly, Barnie and the rest. Too young and stupid to appreciate what I was seeing. Not young any more, but nothing else has changed.

Yes, Luke considered it to be his finest recording. I would add two other recordings of his: On Raglan Road and The Shoals of Herring.

To Mark Pooley: Can you translate in French the lyrics or write them and I will try to translate them. Who or what is Bunclody. Luke Kelly is the best troubadour of Ireland and the soul of the Dubliners.

This is a special song for Luke to be remembered for Bunclody a Wexford song

I've seen a video on you tube can't remember what one but luke basically said he was in a pub in bunclody and he sang a song and a local man said would you mind if I sang a song and he sang this luke said he fell in love with the song and went back to Dublin learned the song and recorded it what a singer amazing wish i saw him live

Great version of this song. Thank you Luke. Goodbye old friend.
