LEGENDS ❤ ❤ ❤

Drink. What good does it bring us.? Talented individuals ruined by it. One day us Scots and you Irish will wake up and turn our backs on it. Fabulous documentary though, many thanks for sharing it.

best statement ever at the very end of this. 'Why should I be ashamed of it' The contempt in the question is typical of West Brit constructed morality.

I am the liquor.

Fabulous old characters.

A lot of great Irish men fell fowl of the demon drink, suppose they're wasn't much else to do,could of been worse they all could of been on Heroin like in todays Ireland,how many great Irish men/women of today have we lost to the modern epidemic of hard drugs ? 💚🎄

And I think, as always about these three: what a waste. What a bloody waste.

Great Channel.

How alcohol stunted the growth and longevity of these incredible men..

What a trio. Their likes will not be seen again. Larry.

wonderful documentary, thank you so much for posting.

Anthony cronin is my grandad on my mums side

As someone of Irish descent, I say this with love. This only goes to show that alcohol was invented to prevent the Irish from conquering the world.

4:54 I grew up in Monkstown and collected glasses in Goggins Lounge in the summer of 1990 🙂

It is a strange thing that Ireland has produced so many gifted writers, poets and music people, perhaps it was the acute angle that a people perched on the periphery of the great empire of England that produced so much commentary, and ironic truth. A poor folk that were rich beyond the dreams of narrow bureaucrats, I'm not sure yet, but these were at least interesting men.

Great documentary. Thanks for the upload.

At 9 minutes in is that Cronin

Brian behan said it best in This documentary in Dublin nobody wants to say a good word about anybody and it is still true to this day no matter how good you do

Fantastic,Thanks for posting

Thank you for posting, even though I've missed much needed beauty sleep 💗

It's 3.30am but I couldn't tear myself away from this documentary. 😢 I had tears in my eyes seeing the young Patrick Kavanagh on the First Bloomsday video. I'm so glad to know he was a gentle, warm-hearted man. I love the man for the poetry he brought to a young Monaghan girl, 50 years ago when I first learned his poems foe Inter and Leaving. They stayed with me and bring me much pleasure and joy still.

Lol can't make this shit up. This encapsulates why I love the Irish. The *real* Irish - those that feel shame and regret - only later. I don't know - I just love 'em...

Thanks Ben

Behan could be a slobbering boor with his boorish antics........ Dylan Thomas by contrast was a brilliant raconteur who as long as he could stand had something intersti g to say......

❤️

I’m pretty sure the interviewer says, “is that why you’re afraid of Jesuits?” In the beginning.

Patrick Kavanagh, Brendan Behan & Flann O'Brien 3 of the many great storytellers, playrights, tall stories poets from the Emerald Isle who loved to take a drink, sit at t he bar and smoke a cigarette or pipe and chats with the people who passed by. People talked about them all the time when they were alive and will continue to talk about those people forevermore. It will not be long before the saintly Phil Lynott is joined up with those very fine people. Phil had many God-given gifts and been a brilliant storyteller, prophet, poet, singer-songwriter, leader of the gang, man upfront and the greatest rocker of all times and that is a recorded fact

"..he saw the evening star over Jenny O'Tooles and he knew - this worry would pass" - Tarry Flynn

7:10 Patrick Kavanagh

7:18 Patrick Kavanagh I'd be interested if there is more of him singing somewhere on RUclips ?? He sings the first verse a little different from Luke Kelly On the Raglan Road on an autumn day I met her first and knew_ That her dark hair could weave a snare_ that I might one day rue; I saw the danger, yet I walked_ upon the enchanted way, And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf_ at the dawning of the day. -

Thank you so much for this!!

I am actually reading Pat Kavanagh, this documentary gave me a better understanding of the time he was living at his time, thanks for share. As Brazilian living in Dublin it helps me to construct a better comprehension of the Dub culture. Thanks Ben.

Behan exemplified the great Dublin wit for which dubliners are known for

Playing through the railings with little children whose children have long since died.

A cracking version! Thanks

Nice one, many thanks.

tho original version

And I was Vay Vay drunk

Thanks again, what a bunch! ''As clear as gin'' regarding Miles's copy.

Again, many thanks.

Many thanks, such a shame Brian O'Nolan was so pished.

This is brilliant - not a moment wasted, some genuinely odd pieces! I'd been looking for this for ages, since I recorded it St Patrick's Day, 1990 I believe. I watched the tape several times back then, and it's always stayed with me. Thanks Ben!

Thank you so much for posting this documentary, as a Dub and a fan of all these gentlemen it's a fantastic treasure I'm very grateful to watch as will many of me mates. I look forward to seeing the rest of your channel man 🙏

That sure cheered me up!! How clever and creative!!! Nice sound.

My father played the melodeon Outside at our gate, There were stars in the morning east And they danced to his music. Across the world bogs his melodeon called To Lennons and Callans As I pulled on my trousers in a hurry I knew some strange thing had happened. Outside in the cow-house my mother Made the music of milking, The light of the stable-lamp was a star And the frost of Bethlehem made it twinkle. A water-hen screeched in the bog, Mass-going feet Crunched the wafer-ice on the polt-holes - Somebody wistfully twisted a bellow's wheel. My child-poet picked out the letters On Time's black stone, In silver the wonder of a Christmas townland The winking glitter of a frosty dawn. Cassiopea was over Cassidy's hanging hill. I looked and three whin bushes rode acoss The horizon - the Three Wise Kings. My father played the melodeon, My mother milked the cows And I had a prayer like a white rose pinned On the Virgin Mary's blouse. Patrick Kavanagh

Ireland....is Ireland lost for good?

I love Granny Behan

My uncle taped me a copy of this years ago, I lost it through time. Can’t believe it’s here on RUclips. Wonderful to see it again. Thank you for this.
