Listen back to John Sheahan Oct 2nd 2024 on The Spin Home with John Keane with thanks to Waterford City Ford.
The official Dubliners’ stage show celebrates the music, songs, and story of The Dubliners, the greatest folk band of all time.
The popularity of The Dubliners is unquestionable, their contribution to the world of folk music unparalleled. True originals, these bearded balladeers put Ireland on the world stage, releasing 30 original albums, selling 40 million records, and playing sold-out tours in a musical odyssey lasting 50 years. John and his late great bandmates Luke Kelly, Ronnie Drew, Barney McKenna and Ciarán Bourke, caught the imagination, playing Irish traditional music in a way never heard before, with an attitude never seen before. They revolutionized Irish music, taking it from the parlour and the pub to the world stage, leaving a legacy that helped transform Ireland and Irish music forever.
The Dubliners Encore is directed and produced by award-winning industry creatives Phil Coulter, Ceoladh Sheahan, and Maurice Sweeney. ‘There is no-one more qualified to steer this one-of-a-kind Dubliners experience. Phil has been part of the Dubliners’ family for decades, and he brings his immense creativity, musicianship, passion, and experience to the role of Musical Director.’
