The Dubliners
Only got the opportunity to see the Dubs once at Whitley Bay Playhouse sometime before 2005 when Paddy Reilly left.
Sadly, Barney took ill before the show (he made a full recovery) and left a big hole in the sound, but Eamonn worked extra hard to fill any gaps and showed what a superb musician he was.
The very first Folk album I ever bought would have been by the Dubliners.
Pretty sure it was A Drop Of The Dubliners on Major Minor records but too long ago to remember I'm afraid.
However, this song is not from that album.
I went on to buy many (if not all) of their albums and this is from "Further Along" made just after Ronnie Drew left for the final time.
A crackin' band and very sad that Luke Kelly, Barney McKenna, Bobby Lynch, Ciáran Bourke, Eamonn Campbell, Jim McCann, and Ronnie Drew are now all gone.
The Dubliners Further Along
Please try and support these artists and their families by buying their books, CDs and DVDs wherever possible.
