#OTD in 2012 – Death of Bernard Noël 'Banjo Barney' McKenna, a musician and a much-loved founding member of The Dubliners.
Barney McKenna was the last surviving founding member of the Irish folk group the Dubliners. With Luke Kelly’s powerful voice and force of nature on stage, Ronnie Drew’s gravelly memorable vocal sound, it was McKenna’s playing of the tenor banjo, coupled with John Sheahan’s fiddle, that gave the Dubliners their original instrumental quality. In the process, McKenna redefined the role of the banjo…

No matter what project, I was always learning.
When I first started watching the Vlogbrothers about a year and a half ago, I was a person who I would not even recognize today. Whether things have been good or bad there has always been one thing to cheer me up.
Vlogbrothers. Their jokes, the punishments, and knowledge has helped me through a countless number of things and inspired me to be “unironically enthusiastic about stuff ”.
Their works have shown me new points of view. I can see things from more angles and take the time to look into public issues so I can understand what the news is saying.
No matter what project, I was always learning.
Crash Course gave me better grades.
Hank’s music gave me inspiration.
John’s books gave me the hope I so desperately needed.
And Vlogbrothers/Nerdfighteria gave me a community, a link to friends, and a home.
So if there is one thing to say, it’s thank you, to John, Hank, and all Nerdfighters for never forgetting to be awesome.

The Vlogbrothers showed me how good I have it. Whenever I think “Oh jeez, I have a project due tomorrow,” or “Why is gum so expensive,” I realize there are people who live on the same planet as me, who are having much worse days.
Now, if I see a tip jar at a shop or a can for donations, I always hunt in my pocket for some change.

Ed Sheeran invited to "properly" record "Raglan Road" with Dubliners legend
Ed Sheeran invited to “properly” record “Raglan Road” with Dubliners legend
Ed Sheeran’s recent version of “Raglan Road” drew some harsh criticisms, but now John Sheahan of The Dubliners has offered a sort of olive branch to the British singer-songwriter.
Sheeran, accompanied by Joy Crookes, performed the Irish classic “Raglan Road” for BBC Two’s “Jools’ Annual Hootenanny 2021” New Year’s Eve program to help ring in 2022.
The performance was almost instantly met with…

And I can't go back
And moods that take me and erase me

#OTD in 1984 – Death of Luke Kelly, lead vocalist and 5-string banjo member of the Dubliners.
Luke Kelly was a singer and folk musician from Dublin, most famous as a member of the band ‘The Dubliners’.
Indeed, while Luke often sang of the poor, the oppressed, the worker, the lover or the rebel –the realities of his own life and upbringing enlivened and gave weight to his songs and the emotional way in which he sang them. And his own childhood and youth was anything but privileged. Born on…

☘️ OUT NOW - NEW DEBUT SOLO ALBUM ☘️
John Sheahan – “Flirting Fiddles” (2020)
Venerable fiddle player, national treasure, and iconic Dubliner John Sheahan releases his first solo album Flirting Fiddles. John explains the title, ‘During my 50 years playing with The Dubliners, I have been flirting with different fiddle styles, which has lead to this eclectic mix of compositions. They reflect influences of traditional, swing, baroque and bluegrass.
The sixteen tunes on Flirting Fiddles are both old and new including some classic favourites like ‘The Marino Waltz’ and more recent compositions such as ‘The Winding River’. The tunes have been arranged for both orchestra and string quartet as well as collaborations with fiddlers, guitarists, pianists, pipers and percussionists.
A first solo album is a milestone in any musician’s career, even more so at the age of 80. John Sheahan celebrated this landmark birthday very publically last year with two concerts in Vicar Street in December, with the President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins in attendance as guest of honour on 6th. Throughout this evening, John was joined onstage by an array of musical guests, including Glen Hansard, Imelda May, Declan O’Rourke and Ralph McTell, to create a memorable musical celebration of a man who is both beloved and highly respected by his peers.
John is not one to live in the past. Always playing, writing and recording, he continually creates, caught up in the eternal magic of it. He pushes himself outside his comfort zone too, publishing his first poetry collection Fiddle Dreams in 2015 to great acclaim. He still gigs regularly both abroad and at home, and even manages to find time for his favourite hobby, wood-carving. John Sheahan is an inspiration to us all, and we are truly blessed to have him and his immense talent.
