The Dublin Legends

• Pop

The Dubliners were one of the most famous and influential of Irish folk bands – and that over a period of 50 years. After Barney McKenna, the last of the original four 1962 founding members, died in spring 2012, John Sheahan announced that The Dubliners were disbanding. And that’s where the story might have ended. But, as is so often the case with legends, they are never forgotten, they never really break up, they never disappear. In the case of The Dubliners, they simply found a new name. Since 2013, they have been known, appropriately, as »The Dublin Legends«, and have set out to conquer the world of Irish folk anew under a different name.
