Dublin In The Rare Old Times

Well done Damien, look like you enjoyed that

Ah that's great. Nice one Damo.

Damo, why change the words to make it politically correct?

Good man damo

Where all the new irish

His voice is shit

What brave is John Sheashan!

the violist is from the dubliners!

With skin as black as coal, come on let’s rise above fear of truth
Would skin as white as snow be racist, would skin as pink as a rose be racist,
Pure stupidity and fear of common sense

I am crying my eyes up thisy nan grandads song our family has fell apart with out them I miss them so so much Philomena

The way he looks up like his singing to his dad gob bless him

Damien Dempsey 💙 A powerful song 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Damien is the Apple of Ireland's eye💚
Anyone upset about the lyrics changes can sing it as loud as they want in their back garden. I can't wait to hear you all when I go for my lockdown walks❤

If he has so much respect for luke why change the words?

Jayus he brutalised that song, Luke loved patsy watchorn singing the rare old times I rather Luke's version but you can't argue with Luke Kelly when it comes to singing

With skin as black as coal… ya shithouse

The donaghmede dynamo

Still doing time in the worst place of all,,,my head

I'm am one of thoes children in the rear old times I grew up in the city in Summer hill ..we use to sing them songs on our swings great time xxx

Wow brilliant.

Dempsey always seems a bit fake to me, I saw the Dubliners back in the day, mighty men to drink Guinness, Luke Kelly sung better in the shower than this.

That tune suits Damo. Lovely rendition.

I remember Dublin city when we didn't give into political correctness. Changing the lyrics is an insult to Pete St. John and to Luke Kelly.

I was in the crowd at the time before the unavailing of Luke Kelly statue. Rip Luke

Luke kelly. Thanks. You’re talent with never be forgotten

I like this music and the comeradship😘😘😘 and I will ever feel with you❤️

Don't change the lyrics. Show respect...

Why he changes the lyrics?
I mean in the phrase " I lost her to a student chap...*here*

A song by the late Pete St John.
Mr. Dempsey must be more respectful with the lyrics.

No Damion Dempsey isent fake .hes just got a different way of singing a song.tho i do agree he should have kept to the proper words.Luke wouldent have liked that.lovley to see John Sheehan there.he's a master on the tin whistle.but as much as i like Damion's singing he's not Luke .nothing can compare to him .miss you Luke.

Luke Kelly legend and I thank you so much for this amazing tribute

I folkin love dis.

Ca racontre quoi la chanson merveilleuse ❤

If John Sheehan is playing alongside him you can be assured he is not in the slightest bit fake

he isnt even close to pathetic jeez but that is dire

I dont care that he changed the words, and sure Luke wouldn't either... but he murdered that song!
