Our own Dan Milner AKA Liam's Brother here on Mudcat sent me a link to a treasure that all fans of Irish music will love. Here is his comment:

I'm probably the last person on the planet to come across this and you have probably viewed it 10 times already but, if not, here's a link to a ballad opera filmed circa 1965 and starring the late Ronnie Drew and rest of The Dubliners. Johnny Moynihan is the singer of the thread-song, "The Night Before Larry Was Stretched," but you may not recognize him immediately because he's wearing a tie!
