    Ah ha, but if you watch the Luke Kelly documentary, 'Luke' some bozo says that he was known as "Luke 'Sun Is Burning' Kelly"...which I'm not sure was ever actually the case but it sounds good.

    This.:) And if I remember correctly, it also says so at some point in Des Geraghty's book "Luke Kelly: A Memoir".
    Anyway, just wanted to spread the word about Kels' site a bit.

    Indeed. Kelly O' Neill posted the video of Luke Kelly singing The Patriot Game (even if it does have some German translation over it). Give everything to get a proper recording of that.

    I've been meaning to set up a similar channel, but my connection is so slow here..


    If someone wants to suggest to Kelly that she go to www.dot.tk she can get a free redirection domain like www.lukekelly.tk etc.. Might be easier for folks to remember.

    The "bozo" in question was the author of "The Sun Is Burning", Ian Campbell. http://www.brumbeat.net/iancampb.htm

    it definately painted a different side to Luke. Really got inside him. Was a welcome change...

    My apologies, I thought it was that bozo Phil Coulter that said it, but thinkin back on it, you're right it was the great scottish folk artist Ian Campbell, who now lives in Kilkenny I believe. He does not deserve to be called a bozo...

    I agree. If we want to see more stuff like this i'd really recommend emailing RTE and showing them your support for this kind of content! They seem to show very little Irish Music stuff, but maybe I'm just being greedy...

    You're going back a bit there, Braonain! Can't believe this thread is 7 years old...

    I think I have an audio recording of this, would that interest you?
