I have other Irish stuff as well.
I saw them for the second time in 1994. In Oldham.
Luke was long gone but Ronnie, Barney and John were still going.
A couple of decent substitute Dubliners were thrown in.
It was a great night.
They still tour but they are all substitutes except for John Sheahan.
Sheahan retired last December.
One of the worst albums in my CD collection. The Snake was a million times better.
Did he?
I'm sorry to hear that.
I knew they were still playing last year, I didn't know they'd called it a day.

He said that he and Barney Mckenna planned to stop after the 50 years tour. Mckenna died in 2012, and they finished the tour with another banjo player. As far as I know the rest of the band goes on, but not as the Dubliners.
Very nice, GravityBoy. I'm not too familiar with Irish folk music, but I do like much of what it spawned in America. Growing up not far from the Appalachian mountains, we had many bands around that did their version of it.
Never could get into the whole clogging dance thing that went along with it, but I'm not a fan of Irish step dancing either. It always kind of reminds me of something Monty Python would do, but that's probably just my weird sense of humor.
Nice one!
How insensitive. All of Shanie's works are the shite. What about the beautiful and romantic "St. John of Gods"......"F yez all".
I met Dermot briefly once when he was playing in a pub in St. John's. Quite a while ago, probably late 80s. He was an excellent musician. Quite a skilled hand in the recording studio too I think.
Talk about your favorite band.

As a teenager I had an Ireland phase, I liked the Dubliners recordings from the sixties. I heard themlive in 1994, they were past theit prime, but they were okay. It was funny to meet them all backstage after the concert. The Pogues were good, and I remember a fiddler and a guitarplayer from County Clare who were very good.

In terms of Irish fusion or Celtic confusion, or music the Irish folk might in the pub be confusin':
The oldest musical tradition which fits under the label of Celtic fusion originated in the rural American south in the early colonial period and incorporated Scottish, Scots-Irish, Irish, and African American influences. Variously referred to as roots music, American folk music, or old-time music, this tradition has exerted a strong influence on all forms of American music, including country, blues, and rock and roll. The connections between traditional Scottish and Irish music and Rock music are deep and go back to the origins of American music. As Elvis Costello put it:
"I started with rock n' roll and...then you start to take it apart like a child with a toy and you see there's blues and there's country...Then you go back from country into American music...and you end up in Scotland and Ireland eventually."

First started listening seriously to Irish folk music in the mid 70's, sharing a house with a guy who introduced me to the first Planxty album. That, & then the Bothy Band, took Irish folk music to the next level. This is me with my new mandolin just over a year ago, check out my channel to see more of what I get up to...

TippyToe, you no doubt know all this - in your post the album cover shows Ryan's Fancy, a trio who moved from Ireland to Canada some years ago and settled in Newfoundland, becoming a major part of the Newfoundland music scene. They eventually disbanded but two of the three continued in the music industry. One of them, Dermot O'Reilly, was a friend of mine. He died a couple of years ago of a heart attack at the age of 64. A huge loss to Irish/Newfoundland music.

The Bothy Band was great. Others of the same ilk worth a mention:
Cran
Clannad
De Dannan
JSD Band
I'm glad I mentioned them...they were worth it.
And then there is a whole army of Pogues knockoffs...they aren't really worth mentioning, though. But, I do like listening to them...

Capercaillie are not Irish but from the west coast of Scotland. They are fantastically talented and lead singer Karen Mathieson has the voice of an angel. Explore.
Also try Runrig for Rock/Scottish Folk fusion.
