IRISH singing stars The Dublin Legends suffered a huge loss late last year when guitarist and founder member Eamonn Campbell passed away while they were touring Holland.

The late Dubliners musician died at the age of 70 following a short illness and it had always been his wish that the Legends should continue touring and finish recording the album they had been working on.

This was a follow-up to The Dublin Sessions which featured 16 newly recorded tracks and covered old favourites & classics that the lads wanted to get down on disc.

They included The Leaving of Liverpool, Schooldays Over, Pub with No Beer, Rambling Rover, Hand Me Down My Bible and some scorching tunes from Gerry O’Connor: Billy in The Low Ground / The Temperance Reel and, of course, Seven Drunken Nights.

A stalwart of the Irish Folk Music scene, Shay Kavanagh has been drafted into the Dublin Legends - formerly the The Dubliners – and joins Sean Cannon, Paul Watchorn and Gerry O’Connor.

Shay was a founding member of General Humbert with the great Mary Black and has played with The Dublin City Ramblers for many years.

He has joined The Dublin Legends on their Seven Drunken Nights and More Tour, celebrating the St Patrick Day season and stopping off at The Concorde tomorrow night as part of a weekend feast of sixties music.

It promises to be one big party at The Concorde as they reel out all the classic songs and ballads known the world over, including Whiskey in The Jar, Dirty Old Town, The Wild Rover, Seven Drunken Nights, The Rare Auld Times, Molly Malone, The Irish Rover, Black Velvet Band & many more.

Following the sudden death of founding member Barney McKenna in 2012 and John Sheahans’ decision to retire it was agreed that The Dubliners, as a touring band, would come to an end. And The Dublin Legends were born.

In the past five years the band have continued the legacy of The Dubliners by travelling far and wide playing concerts to a whole new generation of Irish music fans.

They have wowed audiences in Iceland, Norway, Finland, The Faroe Islands, Sweden, Holland, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Switzerland and across England, Scotland & Wales.
