If the support bands name does not stick in my memory then their performance does and both groups together made for me a memorable and enjoyable night.</p> Dunno if that was the same concert I was at myself, which may well have been 2007 rather than 2006, but I would have to agree that the Dubliners performance was definitely worth travelling into Glasgow for and, if they are >maybe< not quite as strong vocally as they were when younger, they still outperform many newer folk groups and put on a fantastic, funny and entertaining show.

They were backed by a group of younger musicians led by an excellent flautist who were called, I think(?), The Shootie or something. If the support bands name does not stick in my memory then their performance does and both groups together made for me a memorable and enjoyable night.

(I was lucky enough to see them when LUKE KELLY was in the lineup) no more to be said.</p> SEAN CANNON deserves a mention too, he has a fantastic voice and is the reason , i think in all honesty, that THE DUBLINBERS are still on the road, when RONNIE DREW left it was SEANS unique voice that kept the band going,,,, of course needless to say Barney, Eamonn, John and Patsy are wonderful performers in their own right, i will finish this little ditty by saying GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES TO THE DUBLINERS, one of the greatest bands ever.

Obviously, the addition of Patsy Watchorn sparked off new fire for the whole band and they really impress with their skills, talents and joy, like in the old days. Their gig at the Submarine in December 05 was one great, big "happening". Can't wait to see more of them this summer.</p> Yes, they still have a lot to offer!

I didn't actually believe that The Dubs still had something to offer the audience, but I I may have to rethink..</p> Thanks for the review!
