For my father ❤️ A beautiful and gentle man. He was buried two days ago and my uncle sang this at the graveside. It was the most poignant and beautiful moment. 100s of people harmonized during the chorus. It was an emotional send off. ❤️ Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis ☘️
Had jim as a teacher in St Marks what a man , I never told him I knew or loved his music , gutted now and thanks to him I know hamlet inside out , really nice man and what an artist
We are so lucky to be in the Era that Jim McCann existed, and sang... He is 'SO' much better now, than when he was with "The Dubliners".... NO comparison!!!!! His voice was so pure and beautiful !!!!!!!!
@@robertialsobel6015 This is a variant of the Scottish song "Braes of Balquhither", but this version was adapted and written by an Irishman, so I'd say both countries have their claims to it.
@@TheDublinersOfficial O I miss them All! What a repertoire of wonderful songs, what great, strong and also sensitive voices, what excellent instrumental accompaniment...
I always felt joking the Dubliners was a detriment to his career. Listen to his voice and guitar plucking. He did not need them. He was gifted in his own right
Now Here is a voice to fit the song to a good depth. Everyone got a favorite or two and Emmit Cahill is good, Tommy Makem is tops and the McGrath's . Add Jim McCann.

Wow O Wow... Ive heard so many renditions of this, and never heard him sing in this Key!!! Fantastic!!!
Amazingly beautiful.
It’s definitely one of my favourite so good god be good to him
Just beautiful. Powerfully sung in this range. Gives me chills!
Beautiful song, what an amazing voice
Stunning. Much better than that awful snapping/jerking vocal sound you hear among 99.9% of Irish folk singers. Nice and smooth.
Wonderful.... I'd "come in" he was the "romantic part" of the Dubliners... And he did it masterly... Unforgotten...
Beautiful Song Beautifly Done.
I want to buy that man a pint. Utter perfection. What more can I say?

Some Gent was Jim.
Love that mans voice!! World class along with Carrickfergus, Boulavogue, ... and so many others.
come back to belfast
This was in the late 70's, I guess.
We think this is the early 80's after Jim left The Dubliners
Thought it was Judith Durham
She must have she died in 1969 a widow
