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]

I'm a Raheny man myself and new to the banjo so that's nice to hear

[@chazza3670]

Wow that’s incredible

[@RenaissanceEarCandy]

​@@Slark81 How are you doing a year on?

[@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.

[@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

[@Mr.Derogatory316]

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

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

Splendide. Deux grands artistes

[@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 ". ;)

[@joandmichael]

Brilliant of course - thank you so much for posting!

So beautifull , every musiscians hart is on vieuw, WoW

[@Deejaay83urj38]

It's too good

[@HarvestHome2000]

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.

[@kennethdodd7614]

Brilliant

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".

[@adammoore3605]

[@AindriasHirt]

Sounds like the early Cape Breton style.

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.
