Live reviews

Swaying to the soulful lyrics of ‘Four Green Fields’ must be the most memorable part of seeing The Dubliners perform. Ronnie Drew’s haunting vocals singing about ‘war and death’ created a very poignant and moving atmosphere which sparked my obsession with this band.

The Dubliners went through a few line-up changes since their formation in 1962 and sadly Ronnie Drew, the lead vocalist, is no longer with us. However, many beautiful recordings and documentation of live gigs are available to watch on Youtube – the live performance of their 1984 gig is particularly brilliant. Throughout their time, (1962-2012), the band remained true to their Irish folk roots - using their guitars, mandolins and banjos to give them a signature folk sound - and what is truly brilliant about watching The Dubliners is the mix of emotions that the music can bring out in you. Slower songs are very emotional and people in the audience can be seen getting teary-eyed listening to the lyrics. On the other hand, faster songs produce this buoyant, gleeful atmosphere that not only is mind-blowing to experience but also jumps off the screen if you are watching this band on Youtube.

The bad news is that we will never again be able to watch The Dubliners perform live as they did in the 60s, 70s or 80s. However, former Dubliners members Sean Cannon and Eamonn Campbell have joined up with Patsy Watchorn and Gerry O’Connor to create ‘The Dublin Legends’ which continues in the footsteps of The Dubliners. So get online and look up ‘The Dublin Legends’ – they are touring in 2015 – and enjoy the Irish folk music of today which has been honed by the legacy of The Dubliners.

The Dublin Legends toeren weer in Nederland, najaar 2022

Na een gedwongen stop door COVID komt de legendarisch groep The Dublin Legends weer naar ons land voor een uitgebreide tournee, van 28 september t/m 16 oktober. 

De echte folk fans kennen de muzikanten wellicht beter onder de legendarische naam The Dubliners. Die naam verdween toen Dubliners-voorman John Sheahan er in 2012 mee stopte, maar de legende bleef! Net als de waanzinnig lekkere pubsfeer, die de luisteraars stampend en klappend meesleept door opzwepende songs en melancholieke ballades. Geen band kan dat authentieke en aanstekelijke sfeertje met zoveel geestdrift neerzetten als het viermanschap Seán Cannon , Gerry O'Connor , Shay Kavanagh en Paul Watchorn . The Dublin Legends brengen Ierse folk zoals Ierse folk bedoeld is. Puur en rauw vanuit het hart. Ze hebben geen blinkende decors en special effects nodig om indruk te maken; goede Folk draagt zichzelf. En dat bewijst het begaafde viertal keer op keer als ze met hun enthousiasme en ritme de zaal op stelten zetten. Molly Malone , Whiskey in the jar , Seven Drunken Nights , The Irish Rover en Dirty Old Town , stuk voor stuk klassiekers die je wel mee móet zingen. Tien jaar na het 50-jarig jubileum van de fameuze Dubliners is die fameuze naam dan wel geschiedenis, maar heeft de band nog geen fractie ingeboet op zijn ongeëvenaarde stijl. Folk met hoofdletters!

Tourneelijst september/oktober 2022

Seven Drunken Nights The Story of The Dubliners

Seven Drunken Nights – The Story of The Dubliners Announces World Tour

Direct from the West End and having sold out venues worldwide, Seven Drunken Nights – The Story of The Dubliners will return to theatres in 2024 for its biggest ever tour.

In partnership with Tourism Ireland and in association with legendary Irish pub O’Donoghue’s – the place where it all started for The Dubliners back in 1962 – Seven Drunken Nights tells the story of a career spanning 50 years and invokes the spirit of Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Barney McKenna, John Sheahan, Ciaran Bourke and Jim McCann.

Leading the ultimate feel-good Irish show, this hugely talented cast of musicians and singers bring the music of this iconic group back to life.

Now in its sixth year and following its tour of Scandinavia, the extensive 79-date UK and Irish leg of the world tour starts on 1st March in Dunstable and ends on 23rd June in Waterford, and includes a date at London’s Dominion Theatre on 17th March and a week’s run at The Gaiety in Dublin from 10th June.

Tickets, available from all venues and http://www.sevendrunkennights.com/

So much more than a jukebox musical celebration of The Dubliners, the show stars its charismatic writer and director Ged Graham, whose narration warmly guides the audience through the fascinating life of the group in between stunning performances of so many of their celebrated classics, including The Irish Rover, The Leaving of Liverpool, Belle of Belfast City, Dirty Old Town, The Banks of the Rose, Star of the County Down and The Town I Love So Well.

In addition to glowing reviews, Seven Drunken Nights has also received praise from the families of The Dubliners. Ged Graham said, “It was very nerve-racking meeting relatives of The Dubliners, as I didn’t know how they would react. But meeting Luke Kelly’s brother, Paddy, early on during the first tour was just brilliant. He and his family have been so supportive of the show. Likewise, Barney McKenna’s sister came to see the show when we toured Ireland and was very complimentary of how we told the story. Their support means so much to everyone involved with the show.”

With the 2024 UK and Irish leg of Seven Drunken Nights being the biggest so far, the show is also set for its record year internationally, performing nearly 300 shows during 42 weeks on the road.

Such success has been a life-changing experience for Ged Graham, who said, “I can’t quite believe it. Seven Drunken Nights seems to have touched so many people who have become real fans of the show, reigniting their love of The Dubliners. It’s had a massive impact on my life, giving me the confidence to write more and be involved in many other productions, including the runaway success Fairytale of New York. It truly is a great privilege to bring the music of The Dubliners to the stage every night and keep their legacy alive.”

Dr Silbergaus hosts a Christmas Eve party for his daughter Clara.  The guest of honour is Clara’s Godfather Drosselmeyer, arriving with gifts for the young girl, including a book entitled The Nutcracker & the Mouse King.  Clara becomes enthralled with the book as other guests arrive and admire the Christmas tree. Drosselmeyer appears as Santa Clause, with toys for the children and carnival masks for the adults.  Later, he surprises everyone by appearing as a magician.   He orders mechanical toys to be brought into the room.  At the wave of his wand, three puppets appear – a Nutcracker, a Doll, and a Mouse King.  

The Nutcracker starts dancing declaring he can gain victory over everyone.  Everybody joins in the dancing, except Clara who watches the Mouse King come to life and challenge the Nutcracker for the right to dance with the Doll. The Nutcracker and Mouse King are soon fighting, and Clara realises this is just what she read in her book.  The Doll throws a slipper at the fighting pair, who stop just as Drosselmeyer re-appears.  The guests congratulate him on a wonderful show.   Clara’s brother Fritz challenges the Nutcracker to a duel.   In the ensuing fight, the Nutcracker is wounded. Fritz is punished, and the toys are covered up.   Clara is comforted by her Godfather, who tells her that she will see more later that night.   

The guests depart, thanking the host Dr. Silbergaus.  Clara sits in her darkened room with the damaged Nutcracker.  She wonders what her Godfather had meant ….what surprises will be in store for her.   Soon she is awakened by a strange rattling noise. “Mice,” thinks Clara. But these are not ordinary mice they are dressed to celebrate Christmas.  She tries to escape when the clock strikes midnight, the mice are still and Clara sees her Godfather sitting on top of the clock. When she begs him for help Drosselmeyer takes her in his arms.   

As the Christmas tree begins to grow, the Nutcracker comes back to life. He leaps to his feet and calls upon his friends to help fight the mice.  An army of toy soldiers appear.  At the height of the battle, Clara hurls her slipper it at the Mouse King who is knocked down.   Clara faints.   As darkness returns, Drosselmeyer covers Clara and the Nutcracker with a shawl. Minutes later, Clara reawakens to find she has become a beautiful Princess and as her Godfather lifts the shawl, she sees the Nutcracker has turned into a handsome Prince.  She is overcome with joy and hugs her Godfather as the Prince beckons her to follow him.

As Clara sleeps, Drosselmeyer appears and transforms the room into a pine forest.  It starts to snow and Clara awakens and stares in amazement at the magical sight.

Drosselmeyer appears and completes the transformation – flowers appear everywhere.

Clara arrives with the Nutcracker Prince.   She is overjoyed but fails to notice that Drosselmeyer has transformed himself into a young man.  The Flower Fairy appears and hears the Nutcracker boast about his defeat of the Mouse King.   Drosselmeyer is upset by this and once again conjures up the Mouse King.  The fight resumes and the Nutcracker faces defeat.   Clara begs her Godfather to help and with a final wave of his wand a crown of flowers appears on the Mouse King’s head!   The Nutcracker thanks Drosselmeyer for his help and they both ask Clara to dance.  Amazed to see how similar they now look, Clara chooses to dance with the Nutcracker.   Her Godfather feels rejected and turns himself back into the Magician.    Dawn breaks and as the Kingdom of the Flowers fades, Clara finds herself back in the family living room.   She rushes to uncover the Nutcracker but under the clock she finds only a basket of flowers.
