Joe Hill...a true working class hero who stood up for what he believed in....Workers of the World Unite!!! 

only Luke could sing something like this and make it sound right

Joe Hill was live and kicking back in those wonder years of the late 70's when the beer flowed on Saturday nights and everyone joined in with their best drunken voice to sing along to Luke's version... ''Yes those were the days''.... The Tara Arms on Emmet St. Clonmel Tipperary... Sadly Mick the barman and Luke had to leave us... But what memories...

a song of the working man sang by the working mans hero/ king of folk, kelly was a working man at heart and roots, period.

I first heard this song during a friend's funeral. The song reminds me of the comrade who spend all her adult years struggling for the rights of others.

first heard this song in Derry when I was 17 in 1969 after the battle of bogside at which he also sang the peat bog soldier working class struggle is happening in every country of the world and Luke Kelly understood that

When i am 1000 year i still listen to them and i think God has a music room there i will just rock on and drink bear,listen to Dubliners

I met Ronnie Drew when he was at my cousin Rory Gallagher's funeral. Ronnie shouldered Rory's coffin...Great men, gone too soon!

This is the best version of Joe Hill I've ever heard. Miss you Luke, saw you in the Leeson Lounge about a month before you upped and left us.

A voice that resonates your soul

  This arrangement was done by their good friend & famous composer Phil Coulter from Derry.

Why I am a socialist. Why you should be too.

I'm just surprised that he'd sing this song....that any Irish folksinger would. Fantastic. Wonderful. I'm so impressed.
