email! Dubliners friends: Kari Time we start to deliver some Vicar Street stuff from December. As it is our usual practice, before publishing the big update, we are going to tease you with a single shot. This time we showcase someone the lads don't call a fan, but a dear friend: Here's Kari with Patsy! As for what else you can see on this picture, we draw your attention to the good black stuff in Patsy's hand of which Vicar Street luckily never ran out. This photograph was taken during the break, so you can finally see what the lads really enjoy when Barney announces "the kettle is boiling"...
Wadern, Germany 2009: Four men and no fiddle A most unusual night took place last November in Germany. The picture below seems to tell the whole story in a nutshell: It looks like Patsy is inviting Molly from Dublin to join the band while he is searching for a missing band member at the same time: That night, John Sheahan wasn't with the band, guaranteeing a very different evening. Enid was there and supplied us with a series of pictures and a brilliant report, sparing no detail how the probably most unusual night of the last year went. Don't miss the the full report!
Sherlock & The Dubs  ...sort of! Luke Kelly and The Dubliners can be heard in the new Sherlock Holmes movie by Guy Ritchie. During a scene in which Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.) is bare-knuckle boxing, a lively and engaging Irish tune provides a soundtrack to the fight, performed by The Dubliners. The song playing is a slip jig called Rocky Road to Dublin. It can be heard again in the final movie credits. It's not on the sountrack album, which contains the original score only. Hamburg for 37 years in a row "We never missed a year since 37 years. Imagine that!" This was John Sheahan's proud statement about the long history of sold out Hamburg performances since 1972. Neither did our reporter Gerhard Braas which supplied us with pictures and a different angle at the A Time To Remember themed gig at the CCH. Please read the review here!
Happy New 2010! Still going strong, the lads enter another decade! And there's nothing better to prove that than a great current live shot, still hot and greasy coming from the digicams' compact flash card, from the triple-gig appearance the band played at Vicar Street 27 through 30 December 2009! This, of course, is also a teaser for more to come! We will be back with you after a few days break, so Happy New Year to everyone in the meanwhile!
Antwerp, Belgium 2009 The huge world of folk music turns out to be very small sometimes when you find out about who worked with whom and who became friends to whom. Today we look back at such an chapter as Ria gives not only her note and pictures of the 2 October 2009 gig at Antwerp, but also delivers background and insights on Barney's friendship to Belgian folk legend Wannes Van De Velde. A very interesting read for everyone and kind of a late Christmas gift for all the fans from Belgium! And here's the link!
Kiel, Germany 2009  The Kieler Nachrichten (and most other papers in the Schleswig-Holstein region, makes you kinda think) featured a wonderful, sentimental article by Carsten Purfürst about the 1 December 2009 gig in Kiel. It was published both online and in the print version. The piece is in German, but here's a quote: If you can read German, the full report can be found here! We thank Gerhard Braas the link and reprint, and Barbara & Peter for the translation. Independent.ie: Tales of a golden age  Barry Egan of the Independent followed the band shortly during the German tour this year:That's how he opens his article, dated Sunday December 13, in the Independent. The story is full of fond memories of Luke, Ciaran and Ronnie. This time it's completely in English so please follow the link below. Thanks to all those sending the link - you know who you are! Independent.ie: Tales of a golden age Taunusstein, Germany 2009  On 30 October 2009 the lads played at the Folk Club in Taunusstein. This is, note that, not your usual venue, but run with much love and enthusiasm by the folk club. There are two almost identical articles online by Hendrik Jung which are a refreshing change from the usual concert reviews: There are quite a few nice details about the work required to keep such an evening running and they seem do it well as the boys returned for the 5th time already! The report tells about taking care of the lads backstage, about keeping the Guinness flowing, about selling tickets and more, all with volunteers; and, of course, about the gig. If you can read German, then you're in for a nice few minutes. Follow the links below: Wiesbadener Kurier Wiesbadener Tagblatt We'd like to thank Carsten Raabe & Gerhard Braas for the links! Munich, Germany 2009 There can't be enough A Time To Remember pictures, right? We are also aware that we are publishing images of a wide range of quality, but we think that each photographer supplying us has a very special point of view and therefore adds an unique perspective - her/his own, for us to explore. That said, today we thank Sabine from Germany for the nice set of shots she sent in! Please follow this link to the gallery.
Liam Clancy 1935-2009 Liam passed away at 12 noon on 4 December 2009 in Bon Secours Hospital, Cork. The last surviving member of the Clancy Brothers, is survived by his wife Kim and their four children, Eben, Siobhan, Donal and Fiona, his 8 grandchildren and his sisters Joan and Peg. He will be sadly missed by family, friends and his many fans throughout the world. We asked Patsy for a few very personal words as we don't want to put online a simple obituary, and this is what he told us:
Our picture has Liam and Patsy at the GPO in Dublin.
Würzburg 2009  "Irish Coffee without coffee" is the title of the report by J. Grellmann, written für the Mainpost. It's on the nostalgic side, picking up the rich mixture of feelings the "A time to remember" nights offer: The full article (in German) about the 2 November 2009 gig in Würzburg can be found here. ViennaReview September 2009 ViennaReview has a very long report about the A Time To Remember show - it's so long we don't even quote it! Christoper Anderson was a very nice guest and he wrote a great review. Unfortunately, unlike the print version of the review, there was some kind of color shift in their online issue - just compare our original shot below with the one in the link. But don't let that stop you from reading it all! Please follow this link! Thanks to Carsten and Gerhard for sending us this link!
Playing for the Lord Mayor of Dublin  The Dubliners played for the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Cllr Emer Costello, to 'celebrated the capital’s iconic balladeers'. The Irish Times was there at the Mansion House. Speaking of honors (to be) bestowed, Kathy Sheridan from the Times notes that "Vienna long ago gave them the freedom of the city, but no such honour has been forthcoming from their own. “Maybe it’s just an oversight,” said Sheahan wryly." The full detailed article can be found right here! Brand new 2-CD: A Time To Remember Quick update! The brand new album, featuring the current show honoring those members not with us anymore, is now available as a double-CD-album. You can get it from wwww.dubliners.at!
