“Luke was my best man and after that I lost contact with him for about 12 months. I was working, had a house and had to pay the mortgage. Luke was travelling around so much but we knew he was getting involved with folk music especially from singers in London and learned a lot of songs from those lads.”
Paddy sang a rousing rendition of Red Haired Minstrel Boy, at the end of the hour-long discussion, adding: “I’m getting emotional now. I never stop thinking about poor Luke. Long may his songs be sung around the country and abroad. He deserves every credit he’s ever had. Luke Kelly was a genius, Luke Kelly was a genius.”
“But he loved every type of sport, cricket and golf. He took up playing golf in the UK but said he couldn’t play it in Ireland as he was afraid people would think he was a snob.”
