Talk:Luke Kelly

Untitled
The man, the man the man was just in another world. From Raglan Road to Song for Ireland he could make the most hardened man break. Christ, he had a great, great gift. He was the Dubliners, he was Luke Kelly- a man who became the marker for all the rest.

Indeed,the man had such a passion channelled into his voice that listening to rocky road to dublin and scorn not his simplicity gives me goosebumps every time i hear it.

Did he ever sing in the Irish?
 * Yes, from time to time. Sé fáth mo bhuartha is one that immediately comes to mind; I know there were others but nothing I can think of right away. Palmiro | Talk 13:04, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Request for Expansion
Along with the Wikipedia entry on Christy Moore, this needs serious attention. While most of the main points about Luke's life are covered here there simply isn't enough detail about his songs, politics and life in general. A massive, massive figure in folk music of the world. Any takers? Cois na Camac 04:40, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

the German Wikipedia entry is much more complete - I've just translated some of it - halcyonicity —Preceding unsigned comment added by Halcyonicity (talk • contribs) 20:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Would it be possible for me to link my Wikipedia article on O'Donoghue's Pub, which is mentioned in the article on Luke Kelly? Any help would be appreciated as this is my first article. Thanks,

I've added section headings and created links where appropriate. The article is well written but there are no citations whatsoever and this must be a weakness. Jim Bruce (talk) 19:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that Jim Bruce, that does look better. This article was actually in better shape about four months ago, until an anonymous user pasted that slab of information. Unfortunately, that user also removed heaps of relevant information at the same time, which was at least as well written (God only knows what his/her agenda was in doing so). There's a strong case in perhaps merging the best of both versions - I've just bought Des Geraghty's Memoir to provide some citations too, so I'm sure we can get this article into decent shape in the near future.

The poem at the end
What is it exactly? Its just randomly placed with no intro. I would fix it if I knew where the poem was from.--Seventy-one 23:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It is "The Minstrel Boy", a song often performed by The Dubliners. At the moment, untitled and seemingly superfluous, it looks a bit like WP:MEMORIAL so I whipped it out. Fribbler (talk) 10:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Where was McReadies pub in Leeds (as mentioned here)? Where was the Communist Party HQ in Leeds? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.111.101.118 (talk) 20:55, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I helped start this article a few years ago. Nice to see it's come along so well since. Fair play to all concerned. Palmiro | Talk 01:25, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
