Als Barney mit seinem Banjo im Himmel ankam,Schwiegen die Harfen der Engel!!!

Barney played at my granny and grandad's funeral when I was little, I'm only really listening now and I'm mesmerised!!

If ever there was such a thing as a Banjo God, his name was Barney McKenna. The greatest banjo player there ever was.

dancing round the kitchen with my 2 year old daughter. absolute legends

That ain't music, that banjo is talking. Never heard anything like it before and I grew up with Scottish folk music. That is beyond talent

it's Irish cause it's a solo and two of us is gonna play it ,love it

It never ceases to amaze me all the comments on this video .....years later .....God Bless You Barney , You really were a Genius on the banjo ....and what a personality you had as well Thank You so Much .....Up The Dubs ! Hon Barney !

They truly are irish legends i don't care what anyone says

Met eamonn at barneys funeral, lovely man and good craic, rest in peace the both of them

Several years ago, just before the Dubliners retired from performing live, i was lucky enough to visit them back stage, when they were performing in llandudno in North Wales. I will never forget how hospitable and friendly they all were, and they willingly signed their autographs. What ever you think about their music, they were real gentlemen, and i am still a big admirer of their Irish Folk Music.

The irish are so lucky to have the dubliners

A lovely man, a great Banjo player . . .a true legend. R. I. P. Barney

It is physically impossible to not tap along with your foot/feet to this masterpiece. World class stuff. RIP Barney.

"...so if I start to talk too fast for them, they'll have to listen to me quicker." XD Truly a legend, and delightful sense of humor to boot.

RIP, you were my favorite banjo player, and my favourite Dubliner, Lord rest your sweet soul.

I just find it incredible how Barney could play so fast yet his left hand looks as if it's not doing that much. And not a single wrong note. A true legend of the banjo. Eamonn had to really bust a gut to keep up with him, which of course he did as always.

His left hand fingers always to seem to glide over the strings, looks so easy, this is talent at it's finest

The one reason I started playing banjo, he has been a great idol on my playing. Always been my favourite musician. I hope you will find peace and everlasting rest on the fiddlers green. Rip Barney "Banjo" Mckenna. You will forever be in our minds.

2 absolute legends up there now.......

The world will never forget you Barney! I’ll see you someday in Fiddler’s green! 🇮🇪 RIP 🇮🇪

His fingers hardly seem to move and yet all these notes come cascading out.. What a legend. RIP Barney, banjo and mandolin players like me owe so much to you.

The best banjo player ever. ❤

Barney and Luke are Irish LEDGENDS. Backbone of the Dubliners. 👍👍👍

Barney 's playing his banjo in heaven now and teaching St Peter a few tricks about fishing.....

Best man on a tenor banjo, could pull some tunes from one. True talent, RIP Barney im sure heaven is filled with great music and stories.

What a fantastic player.Barney.The best.

What an amazing man ,, he can make that banjo talk to my heart x

Barney was a genius on the banjo he could make it talk but eamon here also was a really fantastic guitar player. Credit to both men and may they rest in peace.

RIP. The Dubliners will not be the same without Barney...

for those of u who have never been here before, it's nice to see u again

Rest in peace Banrny und Eamonn, schade das es euch nicht mehr gibt

R.I.P. Barney McKenna. You were one of a kind.

for those of u who have never been here b4 it's nice to c u again, that's irish

Lucky me, been able to see him live many times. R.I.P. Barney, give my regards to Luke, Ronnie and all the others!

Barney Mckenna, has now joined Luke, Ciaran and Ronnie for some "rare auld times " and glasses of Stout, along with the Clancys' and Tommy M, and so many more. Great songs, wonderful memories.RIP Boys

I was shocked when I read the message of Barneys death today. He was a great musician, and I am glad that I had the chance to see him live in concert. It's just a pity that I had this chance only once. Although your banjo may be silent now, your music will never be forgotten. Heaven must be a funnier place now with you, Luke, Ronnie and Ciaran reunited. Thank you, Barney. Rest in peace.

I can barely describe what these sounds are doing to me. Whenever I feel down, tired by what is going on around me or simply had a bad day, I listen to these tunes. It just touches something inside me and I get a comfortable feeling, that everything is going to be fine. Lots of love from Cologne, Germany.

My child is falling asleep to this as we speak!! Thank u uncle barney ur a legend

Barney, best specialist on banjo/ humor ever, if you ask me!!! Love the guy, thanks Barney and the Dubliners for years of great music and the joy you bring to the people!!!!

Dearest Barney...I canna think that it could get ony better than what you were God given..Jesu.....sure I hope I will meet you someday on Fiddlers Green....God Bless you Barney....

RIP Barney, you were simply the greatest! Having a wee Parting Glass just now in your memory. Slainte.

i remember a day in bremen, germany, it may've been september 1991. just debarked the ship in wilhelmshaven, after a 3-months-trip off to bahrain, doing the mine-sweeping after the gulf conflict. got a call from a friend of mine, about going to "the glocke" in bremen, to watch a dubliners' concert. after that, we went out for a few scoops, that all ended in peter finch's irish pub in the "schnoor" in bremen...we opened the door, and now guess, who was sitting at the bar? what a great night!!! I'll never forget one of them! those guys made me conscient, that i have irish roots. thank ya, barney, luke, ronnie, eamon, john, séan, ciarán, and patsy

One of my favourite videos. Honestly, there just aren't people like this around anymore. Humble and happy doing a job they loved.

RIP Eamonn Cambell, had the pleasure of seeing him 2 years ago were he done this solo with another banjo player. it was very simular to this but what a player on the guitar too. all the legends together again having a guiness and a sing song no doubt

Absolutly brilliant never heaed anyone has good as Barney

Words can not describe that, never will. Barney we have it, always remembered, never forgotten. My lads will have the joy of this. RIP.

Still mesmerised by this and I've watched it many times. Listen to it, go away, come back and it still surprises with something you didn't hear or spot before.

Nearly 60 years listening to these great entertainers and they are still the best. Barney still gets me up and dancing in spite of all the arthritic aches and pains.

Ah, I was lucky enough to see The Dubliners in Liverpool in the spring. Barney was amazing :)

It was the 17 of March 2008 , St Patrick's day , I will never forget

Aye, I have a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat. Brilliant!

Those we love must someday pass beyond our present sight... Must leave us and the world we know without their radiant light. But we know that like a candle their lovely light will surely shine to brighten up another place more perfect... more divine. And in the realm of Heaven where they shine so warm and bright. Our loved ones live forevermore in God’s eternal light., may you play the Banjo beeing with HIM and that we al may here this heavenly music and the Angels that sing along ! LY Barney

saw tis show more than 15 years ago in haarlem netherlands but it is stil touching my hart

Brilliant, we'll never witness such again...

Well what can you say...fantastic

RIP Barney! All original Dubliners in heaven...GOD was bored and needed some great music! Thank you for all the laughs, music and Whiskey!

What an amazing man mr barny mcksnna may u rest in peace

Eamonn Campell ist super, Ruhe in Frieden mein Freund

Master of banjo.

RIP Barney McKenna, a gent, a musician and a bit of a joker, but a true exponent of the banjo. The Dubliners were very under-rated as musicians, but all the band could play, and I mean really play, and all were world class musicians, Barney among them. This man was a fisherman by trade and a musician by nature and the little world around Binn Eadair (Howth) is all the sadder for his passing. Not just for his music, but for his jolly nature, his love of his trade, and that rarest of things, a genuine smile and a wicked sense of humour --

So much talent in one video. This is why i’m proud to be Irish.

Really sad that Eamonn Campbell has died - he was incredible. Barney is my musical hero - both of them are legends. I really hope John Sheahan has at least another decade in him.

God bless you Barney. The king of the banjo

Anyone that down votes this video, is a poor excuse for a human. I came upon the Dubliners late. Found them on KZfaq as it were. I have been enjoying their videos for a couple of years now. However I did not realize that they had all passed away until just today, so my sadness is a bit belated. But that's the power these men have, to touch people from beyond the grave. I join the ranks of people now that will miss them greatly. I only wish I had an opportunity to see them in person. I have watched this video at least 100 times and I keep coming back for more. Lots and lots of people can play a tune on an instrument. But there are few whom when they play, they get deep inside the heart of you. Barneys music does that for me.

God he never even broke sweat amazing

There should be a national Barney McKenna Day! An absolute LEGEND!!!!

He's in Fiddler's green now, where rum grows on every tree!

earl scruggs actually voted Barney as the best banjo player he'd ever heard

the best banjo player ever, Barney is just Brilliant. i met him in Hamburg last year and what a night. we sat and chatted for ages. and the next day after breakfast. he never stops. loved it.

Barney and Eamonn I LOVE YOU

The Greatest Banjo player in the whole world.... and maybe in Ireland

Barney set the standard for everybody else to follow

God Love You, Barney - and so do we! Godspeed!

Love you Barney , you were the greatest . I saw you with the Dubliners when you performed your last tour . Rest in peace , happy forever
