Sad news indeed. Though I haven’t seen him since he played for us at college In ‘72 or ‘73 he certainly made a lasting impression. AlanSad sad news, will always be grateful to Michael Chapman for coming to the farm in-between dark times, & shining a very bright light here. Thank you so much, you made our year a much better time, & an unforgettable night that put a smile on our faces. A fully qualified survivor, & consummate professional. Much love & respect MC, you touched us all that night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNkGmijeFZM
Probably the finest rendition of that much covered Raglan Road, second only to the late, absolutely unequivocally great, Dubliner’s Luke Kelly. Listen and marvel.
My pleasure.Nice one Foxy, enjoyed that, a big fan of the Dubliners.
From the Dubliners to Belfasts finest. Van the man!
This is Luke Kelly of the Dubliners singing something that he very rarely sang in concerts. It was written by Phil Coulter who managed them at the time and who had a Downes Syndrome child. Sung with great feeling. Tragic that we lost such a great voice, far too soon.
