No family get together this year due to covid so this will have to do....I always get a front seat in the house to enjoy John and Co...maybe next year.
John Sheahan simply is the best (fiddler, tin whistle player, well maybe not the best banjo player ;) and, sadly, the last surviving member of the original formation of the Dubliners (Barny McKenna, Ciaran Bourke, John Sheahan, Luke Kelly, Ronny Drew). May they all rest in peace, as well as my old friend Jim McCann (member of the Dubliners 1974-1979), and may John still enchant us with his proficiency on the fiddle for many years to come.
I just LOVE to hear these two master musicians play! Awesome! America has been Blessed by the Irish who came, bringing their music with them! This music lifts the spirits as nothing else can!
I think John Sheahan is one that's not usually in the spotlight but he's been crankin' out the fiddle parts as well as the tin whistle parts for a while, and he's mighty talented! I wonder what he's like as a person
I saw John, Eamonn and Barney and few other musicians play all the the Dubliners classics in Vicar Street a few years ago. It was by far the best concert I'd been to in years and I got to share it with my mam. John played The Marino waltz and it was magical. So sad that Eamonn and Barney have since passed. I loved their energy on stage. Just incredible 😍
John Sheahan (born 19 May 1939) is an Irish musician and composer. He joined The Dubliners in 1964 and played with them until 2012 when The Dubliners' name was retired following the death of founding member Barney McKenna.[1] As of June 2022, he is the last surviving member of the definitive lineup of the Dubliners. Early years and musical apprenticeship John Sheahan was born in Dublin on 19 May 1939. His father, a native of Glin, County Limerick, was a member of the Garda Síochána (the Irish Police Force) stationed in Dublin.[2] He is the great-nephew of Patrick Sheahan, a Dublin Metropolitan Policeman, who in 1905 died trying to save the life of a pipe workman who was overcome by toxic exhalations in a sewer on Hawkins Street, Dublin, where a memorial statue stands today.[3] He went to school at the local Christian Brothers in Marino, Dublin, where he received his first musical education, learning the tin whistle. This experience was shared with Paddy Moloney, who later founded The Chieftains, and Leon and Liam Rowsome, sons of the piper Leo Rowsome. When he was about twelve years old he began to take an active interest in music and soon he was to transfer the musical knowledge gained on the whistle to a fiddle he found lying around at home. Enthusiastically supported and encouraged by his parents, he attended the Municipal School of Music (now known as the Dublin Institute of Technology) where he studied classical violin for more than five years.[2] During this time he continued to maintain his interest in Irish traditional music, which sometimes led him to improvise on the classics by putting in a few embellishments. His tutor would not approve his "composing"; however, Sheahan continued to apply the classical technique to his traditional playing which would ultimately lead to the development of his unique style, gaining him a number of awards at various feiseanna (festivals of Irish traditional music, dancing, poetry and literature).[2][4] His interest in American bluegrass fiddle music[2] also influenced his style, as can be heard in tunes like "Flop Eared Mule" (also called "Donkey Reel"), recorded with The Dubliners in 1968,[5] 1969[6] and 1983.[7] Career with The Dubliners Sheahan played with a number of bands around the country until he met The Dubliners in the early 1960s.[4] At that time, the group consisted of Ronnie Drew, Barney McKenna, Ciarán Bourke, and Luke Kelly. He joined the band in 1964, together with Bobby Lynch. Both musicians had been playing during the interval at concerts and usually stayed on stage for the second half of the show. When Luke Kelly moved to England in 1964, Lynch was taken on as his temporary replacement; when Kelly returned in 1965, Lynch left the band and Sheahan stayed.[8] He is the only member of the Dubliners to have had a formal musical education.[2] John Sheahan Dubliners Tour After 50 years of playing and after the death of founding member Barney McKenna, in the autumn of 2012, Sheahan announced the retirement of The Dubliners by the end of the 50th-anniversary tour.[9] The last formation of the band featured Sheahan himself, Sean Cannon, Eamonn Campbell, Patsy Watchorn and Gerry O'Connor. After The Dubliners In 2013 Sheahan went on tour with Jane and Shane in Denmark[10] playing classical music and some famous Irish jigs such as The Irish Washerwoman. He also joined in some informal sessions in pubs in Dublin featuring other Irish musicians and Luke Kelly's brother Jim Kelly. In April 2013 he had his own documentary on RTÉ about his life and career with The Dubliners the programme being titled John Sheahan - A Dubliner. In May he went into Dundalk Primary School to talk about his career with The Dubliners.[11][12] In October 2013, Sheahan was on The Late Late Show on RTÉ with Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains and performed a jig together on the tin whistle.[13] Sheahan said he was working on a solo album which would contain a collection of unrecorded compositions he had written over the past 50 years and was developing a book containing his poetry.[14] He played at Templebar Tradfest in Dublin City Hall in January 2014.[15] In April 2014, Sheahan was awarded two Irish Film and Television Awards for the television documentary John Sheahan - A Dubliner.[16] On 10 April 2014 Sheahan was part of Ceiliúradh at which he and other Irish musicians performed at the Royal Albert Hall for the Irish presidential visit to the UK. He sang a verse of "The Auld Triangle" and played the fiddle to accompany other musicians.[17][18] In June 2014 he performed at a special fundraising concert in Dublin raising money in aid of cystic fibrosis. In September 2014, he performed with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra conducted by Gearoid Grant, live in Meeting House Square for Culture Night 2014.[19] Other contributions Composing his own music has been one of Sheahan's interests for many years. This led in the 1980s to a big chart hit with "The Marino Waltz" charting at No.4 in Ireland. The tune was subsequently covered by a number of other artists and was followed by the release of an album of original instrumental pieces, written and recorded together with classical guitarist Michael Howard. The album, entitled "In Our Own Time", was released in 1987.[20] Another album, entirely of Sheahan's compositions, was released in 2008 with the title "The Marino Suite" and features the Young European Strings Chamber Orchestra[21] as a supporting ensemble to his fiddle playing.
Many years ago, I would put my daughter to sleep to MarinoCasino, when she was about 1. I had noticed her becoming relaxed and falling asleep while it was being played. Soon enough, I would play it 5-6 times in a row each night; her father got sick of it. Wonderful memories. :)
I have always been enamored with the Irish. I absorbed anything Irish after I found out as a boy they are a major part of my fathers roots. Great people the Irish
_I saw John play these tunes last Wed, Night 20/11/19 (ten years after this video was uploaded)...The man is now 80 years young and looked younger in real life than in the above video. Unfortunately the above guitarist (Eamonn Campbell) passed on a few months ago and Michael Howard (Classical Guitarist) played with him on the night. It was one of the most enjoyable evenings I've ever attended.._
..same with me,although I am from Germany, I have spend some time in Dublin and fell in love with the country, thheir people and their music ... God bless Ireland ..
Had the pleasure of Jamming with John into the early hours in 2019 at Casey's Bar at the Fiddlefair Baltimore. He must have played over 100 Walzes that weekend a lot of them he wrote himself. He's also written a little book of poems. Absolute legend ❤❤❤
Irish music always puts a smile on my face. The Irish have faced way more than their share of bad times, but somehow manage to make the most optimistic music. I'm very glad about that.
I had a great conflab with Eamonn a few years ago in Matt Molloys pub in Westport ,a very gentle person who shielded his huge talent so well. Cherish the memory.
I play most of these songs, however I play mostly by reading the score, and only know a few by heart. You can almost always tell when someone is playing from memory, it's the flow and the extras they throw in to trill it a bit more. I started play fiddle at age 58, now 72 but it's been a bit hard to put many of them into my memory. Maybe I can do it when I get to heaven, or maybe I'll only make it to the stairway! ℗.
Mr. P. Hart I started playing my great great grandfather's violin at 33 but didn't start fiddling until 35 years later - March '16 - and have improved - as one with no talent and dyslexia - more than in all the past years. Love Irish music. I can't remember much and have to use the sheet music.
My parents handed me my first violin at age 3. They're german and this is what we do...we play Beethoven and Mozart. ...but then they sent me to my violin teacher who was an Irishman and a fiddle master. ...and I always had much more fun ripping through those Irish reels and jigs. Those classical compositions require so much precision that you can't dance around much. You have to really keep your eyes on the sheet with most of that stuff. The irish stuff you can memorize eventually with enough repetition...doesn't make it any less difficult. There's some Irish stuff I can't play at all, or even come close too, but I'm considered a very good classical violinist. Mediocre Irish player. Anyway, I love both my home culture and the Irish culture. I love everything about the beautiful, soulful, poetic Irish people and I'm married to a gal from Donegal. Love our European heritage. We must protect it from globalization. ..oh and the bluegrass from the USA is great too, it has tons of roots in Ireland.
I watch videos in youtube since a long time and I never have wanted to leave a comment. I discovered The Dubliners yesterday and I felt like: "How I never heard of them?" So I want to thank The Dubliners, because now I know my soul has a piece of Molly!
Kyle O'Bryan Yeah, maybe not collectively, but there were for sure many places and times around the world where people lived in paradise. Shit, i personally lived in paradise for a couple of days.
Someones "Paradise" could be "Back home" to a place many memories were made.. A place that reminds you of someone, Makes you feel good inside. My paradise is in the mountains where my dad and I get away from the city and dig for gold. A surfers paradise is a beach with that perfect wave.
My paradise is outside my back door! I live near the south-west coast of England. I'm a west coast kind of person. I'm surrounded by chartreuse green grass, big, craggy hills with trees, like the Swiss Alps, mild almost every day. Some wild life; hedgehogs, badgers, foxes, shrews etc. It's like home on the west coat of Ireland, by the sea, with towering cliffs and mountains - and the same chartreuse grass! Similar people and a similar atmosphere. Mmmm... Paradise.
RIP, Eamonn Campbell. We've lost a master to the great ceilidh in the hereafter. The Dubliners and their music are the best evidence we have of a loving creator, by whatever name.
You know great musicians when there's only two of them and they have the whole audience engaged with them. Wish I could see something this awesome live. Maybe someday we won't be in quarantine 2020. 😊
I really liked that! From the beginning it was great but when he switched to the tin whistle it was fabulous. The tin whistle brought to the tune a really authentic Irish quality. Such a humble but noble instrument. Love it!
I love how they admire and respect each other, these talented men always cheer me up! I hope some day I could travel to Ireland and hear some Irish music :)
On this historic day of February 10-11 of 2020, love and peace to all Irishmen. The world is watching. Please don't make me cry again, but i am ready to cry of joy ! The french Irishman from Montréal.
I don't know about you guys but I like your songs better than I'm listening to Welsh music so am I Irish or welsh. I'm 38 and like the music better crazy
No flashing lights, no fireworks, no elaborate backdrops, no sound systems - just pure music. What more can I say?
No family get together this year due to covid so this will have to do....I always get a front seat in the house to enjoy John and Co...maybe next year.
you said it all mate
No sound system?
lol they have mics and speakers mate
Nejlepší dva staříci, umějí to roztočit 😘
Proof that God loves us, and that She wants us to be happy!
John Sheahan simply is the best (fiddler, tin whistle player, well maybe not the best banjo player ;) and, sadly, the last surviving member of the original formation of the Dubliners (Barny McKenna, Ciaran Bourke, John Sheahan, Luke Kelly, Ronny Drew). May they all rest in peace, as well as my old friend Jim McCann (member of the Dubliners 1974-1979), and may John still enchant us with his proficiency on the fiddle for many years to come.
you knew Jim McCann?
The whole thing is just magic.
I just LOVE to hear these two master musicians play! Awesome! America has been Blessed by the Irish who came, bringing their music with them! This music lifts the spirits as nothing else can!
Eamonn is a fantastic guitar player . His timing is impecable...Absolutely beautiful music
Not only is John Sheahan underappreciated, but so is Eamonn Campbell! He is so fantastic a guitar player. He matches John's playing perfectly!
that's why the dubs are the best those two are legends
He also matched Barney pretty well.
Love listening to John Sheehan playing , he’s a maestro
I think John Sheahan is one that's not usually in the spotlight but he's been crankin' out the fiddle parts as well as the tin whistle parts for a while, and he's mighty talented! I wonder what he's like as a person

I just love these guys. Have seen them many times over 40 years, so sad that many are no longer with us.
John Sheahan is still extant Praise the Lord. He played at Shane MacGowan’s funeral on 8 December, as brilliantly as you’d expect.
John Sheahan...a great musician... a classically trained fiddler as far as I know.
I.m spanish....but I.m loved your culture and folk...your history. Long live to Eire..Ireland..Hibernia.
You know great musicians when there's only two of them and they have the whole audience engaged with them. Wish I could see something this awesome live. Maybe someday we won't be in quarantine 2020. 😊
masters at work john and emonn
I adore this so so much! My heart is there! Adore Ireland!
I really liked that! From the beginning it was great but when he switched to the tin whistle it was fabulous. The tin whistle brought to the tune a really authentic Irish quality. Such a humble but noble instrument. Love it!
At the end Barney, John, Jim, Sean, Ronny, Paddy and Eamonn...legendary...wow
This music makes me fly away
Rip Eamonn you were always so happy and always smiling farewell old friend .thank you for the music craic and laughter.
