The Dubliners - end of an era.

Sure the Wolfe Tones were retiring years ago too, and they are still going strong! (Mind ye they are all still alive)

When bands opt to retire I'll wait for a while to see if they do actually retire.

Comparing apples n rotten spuds

wolfe tones get a lot of unwarranted stick on this thread, totally unnecessary. Love the band. In recent years they have slid to be fair as their music since the 'Beat the Irish' CD have been poor as their recordings have all been to background music and not the instruments; and this has come into their live showings also.

I'd take the Wolfe Tones over the Dubliners any day.

Every little improvement is to be welcomed.

Thanks, balladmangler. It's the thought that counts. I'll treat it like one of those charity presents you get, like a goat for Africa and pass it on unopened.

Happy Christmas.
