Since 1962, The Dubliners have been enthralling audiences worldwide with their music and song. The strength and attractiveness of The Dubliners has always been in the personalities of the musicians who have made up this boisterous band of balladeers, from original members, Ronnie Drew, Barney McKenna, Luke Kelly, Ciarán Bourke, John Sheahan and Bob Lynch to the arrival at different stages of Jim McCann, Seán Cannon, Eamonn Campbell and finally the peerless Paddy Reilly.
Produced By: David Donaghy
Sound Engineer: Brian Nartey

So much talent on one stage .

[@tommyfrerking]

I love that, when he wasn't doing anything with his hands, they moved into position to play the banjo. This is a great shanty and Barney gave a wonderful lead rendition!

[@freenamorris7785]

I was, in fact, born in South Australia!

[@Chris-qt5cb]

I met Barney at the bar of Croydon Fairfield halls. A pint of Guinness at Croydon of all places. I owed him many. I'm very glad I got he chance to buy him at least one pint. Thanks Barney.

Barney McKenna is one of those people that has resting farmer face. Like if he wasn't playing banjo in the Dubliners, you'd expect him to order a pint a cider and a plate o' pork scratchins after a hard day on the moor herding cattle. Incidentally... I'd like the same order.

[@ianjeffery6744]

Wonderful to hear Barney McKenna in full voice! (He sang a lovely version of Fiddlers Green, too).

[@richgouette]

I just might actually cry when John passes.. that'll be the last of em'

Or Paddy or Sean

[@peterdavies2960]

Barney’s got such a grand voice 😍 eat your heart out, Richard Harris!

[@brendangormley4292]

my granddad favourite song, who was in Australia in the 1920s. left with 6 pounds came back with 4 pounds. after a year's work. .x

[@Ms2blackcats]

Nothing wrong with that. Wish he was still around !

[@teddywokk]

Phenomenal music sounds. Barney Banjo in there humble abode 🎶

[@Marc443]

Perfect example of the brilliant unique voices!

[@tophercIaus]

It is physically impossible to listen to this song and not tap along to the bass drum rhythm that's missing!

[@andrewwatts8485]

You were not t born in SA with that accent.. still you're work.

[@wespaul9345]

Fck I've never heard a good version except for the cobbers

[@ianjeffery6744]

Paddy Reilly is beating time on his guitar...

[@mollymillions5438]

I'm from SA and I've never heard half of these lyrics. Makes me appreciate that this is a Irish song rather than an Aussie song, Well done. No convicts were ever sent to SA, they were free folk, I think this is the point of the song.

[@TheRealBoroNut]

It's an English song, collected in Sunderland.

[@bruceparr1678]

Plenty of convicts walked over to SA.

[@Roger__Wilco]

@@bruceparr1678 Ha, a typical weak attempt to conflate SA with the rest of the colonies at the time.

[@peterdavies2960]

Nothing more catchy than listening to a fiddle and seven elderly Celtic men singing (apart from Paddy who’s clean-shaven) 😎👍

[@jackcarter5101]

Elderly? Eamonn was only 55, though looked a lot older, admittedly.

[@peterdavies2960]

Like his grandfather Tchaikovsky 😂

[@kenclarke5966]

He made this song his own. This is the version that always plays in my head.

[@marymcmullen5150]

Love it...............!

[@TheDublinersOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@professornuke7562]

As soon as you get "Ruler Kings" in your head instead of "Rolling Kings" the songs will suddenly make sense, and you will realise he is pissed as the proverbial newt.

[@wilsondavenport6939]

[@BigBluenoser]

I like to replace "south Australia" with "Nova Scotia." And "Cape Horn" with "Cape George." We're from the same stock and it translates clean

[@kasper-3099]

Had the pleasure of hearing them hear a couple of year before Barney passed, was a treat- cannae imagine how great they would have been with ronnie in their prime.

[@BigBluenoser]

Barney in his prime

[@peterdavies2960]

As a half-Aussy 🇦🇺, quarter-Irish 🇮🇪, this particular version of the sea shanty really burns my ears! 😎 EDIT: if I played the violin again, I could try this piece and song! 🎻
