We saw Val in Cork in the Everyman theatre he was 70 at the time but his rapport with the audience and his lovely relaxing vòice always made me happy and still do years later. A wonderful gift
i heard an interview w pete seeger--lg time ago--about the time he was begining to bustout of the anti-communist blacklist. interviewer asked pete whether he thought folk music was 'dying out?' pete laughed, then said; "folk music is the people's music. like the people, it rises and gets pushed back, but its the music of the people, their struggles, so it never can die! the authorities try every way to surpress it, but the people's music lasts as long as the people." ;
A great rendition of the Wild Rover by The Clancy's, Tommy Makem and Val Doonican with brilliant backing provided by Nolag Casey on fiddle, Arty McGlynn on Guitar and the base player. My God we miss this great music, I wish this we could turn back time and bring them all back. BillH
Brilliant I love the Wogan Gag such a pity all of them no longer with us .Rest In Peace Lads .. You All Brought Pleasure to us all for Years ,We Miss You
Were these guys paid by Aran Woollens to wear this stuff? My mum had a beautiful Aran coat she knit. In some hotel in the 60s some American tourist offered to buy it off her. She said no. Of course. I wore it in the eighties. No idea where it went though. Not seen it since then.
Good ole song btw. I've a bunch of cousins called the Mc Peakes who played as a trio. V talented. Only did this as teenagers. Jim the boy sang this. He played Gentle Annie on mandolin at my mum's funeral.
you can have all those woeful Dublin ballad groups that were fair hard on the ears , but these guys were classy and of course the advantage they had before they opened their mouths ,, they could speak ,, helps when you need to sing
I live in England but came from Dromore Tyrone I have a holiday home in Lisnarick and was there when he died.He was highly respected around Omagh and Ofcourse further afield.
I wonder how did Tommy Makem initially team up with the Clancys? Today, I think they would be regarded as "stage Irish" today, but in the 1960s they would regarded as colourful characters from the otherwise dull Ireland still emerging as a nation.
Mighty Craic in Ireland in the 60"s James and 50's as well. Some media types would have us believe everything is great now and terrible back then. Its an Irish times and RTE types view of History to suit their own agenda . These days we've blended into everyone else. With damn all unique culture of our own.
@@brendanogara432 Ur 100% right Brendan. And as a Leitrim man I'd have to say Donegal is one of the few places in the country that's holding onto its culture and couldn't care less what RTE types think.
@@mikeyk212 PS...what do you think of big Niall McConnell...he's from Donegal like me but ain't sure about him though his heart seems to be in the right place🤔
This version of the song is so good, I just replayed five times in a row. Wow!
nothing like this today,world gone to shit

I think folk songs have been banned from mainstream TV these days, a shame. These guys are giving it everything, miss Val and all the lads. One day.

The main reason I gave this a "thumbs up" is that TH-cam doesn't allow a "double thumbs up" .
Me too mo chara...those Aran Jumpers deserve 100 likes...my oul granny in Donegal used to knit them for the American market😉

Love the Clancy brothers,think you're being a bit harsh on the legend that is ĺuke Kelly
Not a woeful Dublin singer
@@dermotmahon2008 That guy is talking keech...Dublin had/has some great balladeers...too many to mention mo chara!
Full of shite john
Note Nollaig Casey and Arty McGlynn supporting them. Two excellent musicians.
Arty McGlynn passed away last year.He was a great musician.
@@charlesquinn8513 Yes indeed RIP. He died in the South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen - about a mile from where I live.
I live in England but came from Dromore Tyrone I have a holiday home in Lisnarick and was there when he died.He was highly respected around Omagh and Ofcourse further afield.
Loved the Clancy’s.........🇦🇺🇦🇺
Different singing voice just remember Dennis waterman singing the minder theme
What is the name of this song? What a great tune.
Love val,reminds me of my good looking dad,could have been twins.
Grew up on these guys. My parents had all of their records
Val and the Clancy bros got well beautifully l ❤️ there singing 3:06
Guitar player Arty Mc Glynn from Omagh. Co Tyrone.The best in the business.
Absolutely and very very funny too, doesn't get anything like the credit he deserves.

@@mikeyk212 Couldn't agree more Mick...absolutely nothing better than a 60's sing song round the oul turf fires of Donegal...MAGICAL....

@@mikeyk212 It is my lovely Leitrim where the Shannon waters flow...beautiful song that Mick!
@@mikeyk212 PS...what do you think of big Niall McConnell...he's from Donegal like me but ain't sure about him though his heart seems to be in the right place🤔
Great stuff 👍
all gon to Heaven , hopefully !
Lovely. This song gets quite a lot of bad press, but when you hear (and see) it sung like this it's surely impossible not to get caught up in it.
This song (Wild Rover) is very popular in Germany (with a German version)
The original and the best
Up Tipp ❤
They were the best ever
