So, Danny Boy. Did you attend the concert?
I Did, and I had one of the greatest evenings of my life. One I will never forget.
It took place in the beautiful Göteborg concert hall (which is really made for orchestras.. the audience was really loud). And The Dubliners (Closing in on their 70ies) played for over 3 hours with a 20 minute break in the middle- For tea and cake, they said.
The new guy, Patsy Watchorn, did an amazing job and kind of reminded me about Luke Kelly with all the charisma, his great voice and the 5 string banjo.
It was very apparant he brought alot of energy into the band.
The audience was very mixed.. and well.. there was alot of Pogues, Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy's shirts around..
Bottomline is that I think The Dubliners only get better with the years.. It really struck me what virtuosity Eamonn, John and Barney have on their instrument.. And Patsy put alot of freshness into the band. I guess I should mention Sean as well- He sings very pretty in Irish and have a great charisma.. May they go on greying and playing for many years to come..
