Luke Kelly (and The Dubliners) Scorn Not His Simplicity & Dirty Ole Town

 On the anniversary of his passing I found this by Luke Kelly and the boys and again a rare find as Luke often shied away often from singing such a personal heartfelt song in what shall we say the ‘rowdier’ of occasions (this is the beating heart of The Dubliners remember) so that video film of his singing this memorable Phil Coulter song about the plea from a father of a disabled child to feel empathy and not to judge is positively heart rending. Here he is gently encouraged to recall it . . . . .enjoy! If that is the right word
