THE DUBLINERS
The Dubliners were an Irish folk band formed in Dublin in 1962. The original members were Ronnie Drew (vocals, banjo), Ciarán Bourke (vocals, guitar), John Sheahan (fiddle), Barney McKenna (mandolin, tenor banjo), and Liam Weldon (bass). The band’s name was inspired by the James Joyce novel “Dubliners.”
The Dubliners quickly became one of the most popular folk bands in Ireland, and they soon began to tour internationally. They were known for their lively performances and their repertoire of traditional Irish folk songs, as well as their own compositions. The Dubliners released over 40 albums during their career, and they won numerous awards, including two Grammy Awards.
The band’s most famous members were Ronnie Drew and Luke Kelly, who were both gifted singers and songwriters. Drew was the band’s leader and principal songwriter, while Kelly was known for his powerful vocals and his stage presence. Both Drew and Kelly died in the 1990s, but the Dubliners continued to tour and record with new members.
The Dubliners disbanded in 2012 after the death of Barney McKenna. However, their music continues to be popular, and they are considered one of the most influential Irish folk bands of all time.
