This is ted mckenna here wishing everyone a merry Christmas and thanks for all the views
rest in piece, you brought joy
You are a champ. Thank you
: )
Howya Ted, I'm your grandson Gers best Friend, best wishes
Just got the East German LP The Whistlesbinikies and Ted MCKenna
Thanks Ted
These are my uncles, my father Bernard had already travelled to work and live in Australia by then. I met Ted a couple of times over the years. He's still around at the time of writing this. Dad never sung anything like this unless he was in a certain mood or he had to navigate a particularly challenging U-Turn in the car so to this day I cannot do a U-Turn without going "Diddelly daddyliey diddley dee" to the tune of The Rocky Road To Dublin
Lovely to hear that Ted is still around and well. Hope that goes for the rest of you as well
@Clairemckenna..I am forever drawn back to this magical scene ever since it made its first appearance ..love it so..love to all..
Hi cousin, I met Kerry and your dad years ago when they came over to Ireland but never got to meet any of the rest of your family
@@jenmckenna3474Hello from Linda Claire's and Kerry's sister
This song and this video pushed me to visit Ireland and finally I did It. Thank you from Italy
im so blessed from my visit to the Island 3 years ago
Irish and italian are brother people. Very similar in various aspects
Ted McKenna on vocals and Gordon McKenna on Guitar. One of the finest versions of this song....ever!
Since the Luke Kelly version I`d never seen better. ....Jaysus this is pure 1`st class
Great performance of a great song. This is a timeless scene, repeated all around the world: everyone crowded around the table, maybe drinking, listening to the singer and the musicians, maybe singing along, all soaking in the condensed atmosphere of feeling, song, music, and culture. This is really emblematic of our humanity -- we have done this for untold thousands of years, and come what may, we will be doing it far into the future.
So true! It's how I'd love to spend most of my time, but alas, no one to sing and play with. I was thinking too, of the year this was recorded; little did anyone know that in a years time, the troubles would kick off up north, and 30 years of murder and mayhem would ensue.
You write beautifully. You conveyed in the best way possible what anyone could think about this
@@milaanvigraham8664 Thanks. I love music and I love words, watching the video made me feel thoughtful and inspired.
❤
2020 anyone!!! Listening with my son!
I met the guy singing here today, Ted McKenna, a gent, still supping pints of guinness and what a voice! I will put the video up on youtube of him singing at Peter Lennon's tribute in the Irish Film Institute.
Thanks for all your nice comments
Ted Mc Kenna
The girl to Teds left is my great great grandmother and lived in Marrowbone Lane Flats Great version
What pub is this? we're from Cork Street.
Shocked...one of the most awesome things I have ever seen. Thank You
This video has an undefineable atmosphere... I am just stunned...
0 dislikes for this amazing piece. As it should be.
Got to love it! !1968... I was doing A-levels... when Pink Floyd were singing 'Careful with that axe Eugene', these guys were paying respect to their roots. I think I know which gives me more delight.
Drinking smoking and singing this is the real ireland not the plastic one we have now
Ireland for the irish
Africa for the Africans
Thank you for posting! This is amazing.
Superb, cheers for posting!
this is my favourite video on youtube, I'd love to see the full documentary
Thanks for putting this clip up! I posted "The Making of..." as video responses. It is a movie that deserves to be seen by Irish and others. Amazing transformation - to think that when this film was made, I was around 11 years old...
Can you tell me what is this movie about looking forward to watch this movie
Love this song, lovely clip this is.
nice. one of my favorite songs
People had their Christmas decorations up the day after Thanksgiving. I can't get mad tho. I've been drunk for St Patty's since October. Love this song!
The details of the LP mentioned below can be seen on the "time-has-told-me" site or on The Whistlebinkies own site under Chronicle for 1976. This group, based in Scotland, has only recently made contact again with Ted McKenna after a gap of nearly 35 years. The other songs he sings on that LP are Ewan McColl's 'Champion at Keepin' Them Rollin' and 'The Dirty Blackleg Miner' as well as choruses with Mick Broderick and the rest of The Whistlebinkies.
Fantastic version
I wish there was another version of this awesome video but with much clear sound
This is *THE* recorded version of this song, nothing compares imo
Sorry to only be getting back to you now and sorry for the loss of Barney.
I couldn't get over the power of his voice and his great sense of humour. We have these gems in life, all around us and we just don't realise or maybe cherish them.
Well please tell him the family loved it and thank him for it.
Robbie

All tracks of the LP below (The Whistlebinkies & Ted McKenna - Berlin GDR 1976) can be heard on TH-cam under, for example, "The Whistlebinkies & Ted McKenna 1976 The Dirty Blackleg Miner", etc (visuals are just a photo of the album cover)
@kevleitrim
Thank You, reminds me of the great evenings I spent at JD MCGurks in Soulard, St Lois back in the early 90's
You can find out more about it on imdb. Amazon are also selling copies for £9 sterling.
The faces and the eyes of the women are very interesting, they look tough and weary but very dignified. Your one at 1.21 her little smile is just amazing.
Yer man's "ah yeh' at 2.17 is pure gold, argh so homesick!
2019 anyone?

LOVE that song!
A great singer of a great song
Amazing movie.
I just wish the dound quality was a tad better than it is, i love this song.
Thank you for posting this.
Incredible video!
Greetings from Brazil!
Come to Ireland, there are lots of pubs like this
@@fxq777 Is there? I would like to go too. The Irish culture is very beautiful.
I am sending this to everybody.
A question a while back was about any more recordings by Ted McKenna. There was an LP recorded February, 1976, in East Berlin (German Democratic Republic) called "The Whistlebinkies & Ted McKenna" on the Amiga label of VEB Deutsche Schallplatten (Amiga stereo 845127). They were all there for the 6th Festival of Political Song (the festival has been revived in recent years as 'Festival Musik und Politik'). He sings The Rocky Road to Dublin on it as well as other songs and choruses.
Wonderful and authentic!
thanks

I'm in love
Awesome!!! Love it.....
Don't ever forget Luke Kelly.
@mmmphilippe I love this version of the song and way he just rolls his shoulders puls the West of Ireland accent ....[ the quitar player looks like his younger brother...]
bellissimo...troppo intensa sta storia
Love it!
Great. And Ireland is also fantastic! November 2010 i travel alone by care through the burren area in county clare (westcoast). one week in a mystical, magical landscape with nice people anf great memories. Unforgetable!.
According to Slatnick.com:
The film couldn't be banned in Ireland (the censors comment to the director was: "Since there is no sex in the film, Peter, there is nothing I can do against you.") It was only picked up by one Dublin cinema for a short run. The church's iron grip on the country was thus shown when no other cinema dared show the film.
Wikipedia agrees, and IMDB doesn't mention a ban.
I love how many pints go down.
Anyone know where I can find the full documentary?
Love the shoulder shrug, what a night I’m sure, I wish I would’ve been there
I long to go to my ancestors homeland. Love from Canada! I'll make my way eventually.
Well, video replies seem to be a thing of the past but here is the link to a fragment of Ted singing this in the same place but 45 years later. Sorry I did not get the whole thing and it is just and iPhone recording. Amazingly about half a dozen of us who were there in 1968 were there last Thursday. arghh I cannot post a web address. Search for Ted McKenna Niall MacDonagh and it will come up.
wonderful
Last night I was at a sort of reunion of people from O'Donoghues from the 60s. Ted sand the rocky road. It is only a fragment and the video is bad but I am going to post it anyway.
Ted was only 18 here? Wow...
You cant beat a good aul ballod session gr8 video gr8 singing

Awesome, Greetings from Germany
The girl on right of him looks like she smokes more than a cigarette
Seeed920 yes^^but her voice lifts the mood a hundred times.

Grus aus Dublin. Yes, she looks "spaced" . Seeed this clip is very rare , almost a national treasure. For example , wissen sie Heinriich BOLL ? This clip of film was used in his famous film on Irland ..." Irland und siener Kinder" 1965.
