The Mason's Apron - The Dubliners Live at Knokke, Belgium

[@chuck7476]

They make it look so easy , they likes wee will never see again They were the glory days of brilliant music

[@paulbrown7374]

My Grandfather, Patrick Shanley, from Raheny in Dublin, taught Barney McKenna how to play this tune. My Grandfather played the accordion and Barney would visit the house to learn the tune. God Bless you Granda Father ❤️ Never forgotten..

[@TheDublinersOfficial]

Hi Paul We love to hear stories like this!

[@Slark81]

[@jdion79]

Pretty interesting how you can see that this can morph into country music. Love it!

[@moominpic]

John Sheahan is a big fan of Bluegrass.

[@Mr.Derogatory316]

Each of those instruments and the way they play them reflects on their own personality

[@amandaleeborchert3745]

So much fun to listen too! I won't lie....I tried dancing💃💃💃 a bit to....almost tripped over the dog🤣🤣🤣...better just sit and clap my hands instead.😉😉😉

[@carolboreham8273]

Love a bit of Irish music XXX

[@crowleybeast7560]

I was the weird kid at school in the 80s for listening to this type of music. The Dubliners were my Dad's favourite group and we watched 'the boys' dozens of times. Fantastic memories, awesome musicians

[@ynotno7]

Two wonderful musicians, often looked down upon by the trad music purists but they and the rest of the Dubliners brought the old music to the people, they reinvigorated the old tunes and ballads and paved the way for the fantastic following that trad music has today. We will forever be indebted to them!

Nicely said. Thanks for watching and commenting.

This is one of the best versions I've heard

Give Stockton's Wing a listen.

@@johnmcgahern3946 Ah, seriously, now.

[@banjorex]

This a great performance of the classic Sean Maguire variations, few can pull it off.

[@moominpic]

Aly Bain and The Boys of the Lough have a wild version.

[@joandmichael]

Brilliant of course - thank you so much for posting!

[@DavidFlockhart]

Truly spectacular!

[@paulharty3081]

Sheahan is pretty handy, Barney, is too. Sheahan tells a story about his first week with the band as a pro, having quit a 9-5 job. Barney and Ronnie got into a first fight. He was worried about what he had gotten into. But Bobby Lynch told John not to worry. "They do that every other week ". ;)

[@sarahoshea6358]

There's a brilliant electric version on Thin Lizzy's album 'Black Rose'.

[@brianpatterson7332]

The guitar solo on Black Rose is fantastic, but it really doesn't feature The Mason's Apron, despite the credits on the album. Pat McManus - who can play Black Rose on guitar and this version of The Mason's Apron on guitar - will tell you this also.

[@margaretroberts8222]

Barneyyyyyyy

[@WojciechWachniewski-st1zm]

Simply good - carry on, boys!!! 🇵🇱♍👍 Off to Dublin in the green, in the green, where the helmets glisten in the sun; where the bayonets flash and the rifles crash to the rattle of a Schmeisser (Thompson) gun! 😁

I mean, who is disliking this? They should be found and banned from using the internet forever!!

[@Dulcimertunes]

Roots of Bluegrass!

[@Deejaay83urj38]

If anyone can't see Bluegrass rockabilly everything rock in the US came straight from this from these islands they must be dull indeed

[@moominpic]

John Sheahan has always been a big fan of Bluegrass. Luke Kelly used to tease him calling it "cowboy music".

[@McClernand4]

Ba ceoltoiri den scoth iad. Ni dheanfaidh muid dearmad orthu ariamh.

[@AindriasHirt]

Sounds like the early Cape Breton style.

[@garymay799]

Love This but prefer the 8 min version .

[@mowzrascal2350]

Which one? Got a link?

[@driedpancake]

He was a total fake! He didn't even play fiddle.... its just a trick that he does by wiggling the whiskers of his beard together to produce the sound. No talent.
