Description:

The Dubliners started off in O’Donoghue’s pub in Dublin in 1962 under the name of “the Ronnie Drew Folk Group”. When Luke Kelly returned and Bobby Lynch left in 1965, they were what is considered the original Dubliners, five individualists, five men whose talents were mixed together in a superb blend and just wanted to play and have a good craic. If they only knew what was awaiting them!

In 1967 their major breakthrough came as a result of a coincidence. Their song, “Seven Drunken Nights” which was recorded in one take, was snapped up by a pirate radio station which started playing it along with the Beatles, the Mamas and the Papas, the Who, Kinks and Jimi Hendrix. Suddenly, The Dubliners were a major band, playing all over the world, getting into charts and receiving gold discs.

The Dubliners have brought Ireland to the world in a way that no emigration has, they have brought the world to Ireland and they have brought people all over the world closer together. Whenever it ends, the world will never be the same again.
