Great music lovely songs. The members of the Dubliners band were all very talented people. It was a well arranged programme. Lovely to see and listen to all the different songs from the different talented performers of the Dubliners Band John Sheahon on Violin and Tinwhistle Barney McKenna on Banjo, Ronnie Drew singing The town I loved so well. Jim Mc Cann singing Four green fields, Paddy Reilly singing, Come back Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff and The fields of Athens. Mr. Campbell was great on the guitar and the man who sang Sweet rose of Avondale. I cannot recall his name. All told it was a great show. I was delighted to have seen it on KZbin. Thankyou very, very much ❤

Unforgettable night of music by the Dubliners back in 1984. Thanks again to KZbin

I was raised on this stuff (in Columbus, OH)...you never saw a more Irish woman than my 4'10 Italian mother. After she passed, my dad would tell everyone and anyone that she enjoyed being Irish more than anyone he knew.

[@davidwentworth4611]

I am a transplanted American married to a lovely Irish woman, and I love to listen to all these songs. The stories of joy, hardship, unfairness, life and death, all are the "peoples" stories. They bear repeating and are always worthy of remembrance. Just like the older country music and bluegrass tunes in America, the stories told are real and heartfelt. As long as we remember those that toiled, suffered, and even died in the struggle for a better life for their posterity, then their suffering was not in vain.

All incredible human beings, all so full of soulful talent, sorely missed,,, those who's voices have fallen silent.....in my humble opinion, John was the steadfast glue that kept this group alive through the many changes....I get tears in my eyes just looking at John sometimes because he carries so much and has endured so much through many years of all the changes. So very thankful for every recording we have to continue hearing this genius from the separate "leaves that blew together from different trees" to form these amazing sounds. This Irish girl is at home wherever I am hearing the Dubliners ~

Watching them in concert usually makes me sad.. sad that they are no more, and only 1 remains alive. Must be a personality thing. I'm pretty sure I was born in the wrong country, at the wrong time..Then again, I get the joy of pulling up any of their concerts whenever I want.. Ah well, at least I DID discover these Irish treasures...

We owe a great debt of gratitude to the Dubliners in all of their combinations ~ their adaptation after Luke, Ciarán and Ronnie were stolen from us was commendable ~ John and Barney kept the boat afloat admirably but the loss of Barney signalled the end of the greatest Irish group bar none ~ John enjoy your retirement ~ by god you've earned it…..Slaint'e.
