The
Dubliners are now on You tube and its an interesting mix of music from
The Leaving of Liverpool to Finnegan's Way
.... or Molly Malone!
The whole host of stars which form the audience amaze one in as much as its
a long trip from 1968 to 2009 but I did recognize one of the Clancy
Brothers and its
interesting to note that on Bob Dylan's DVD ... the same name is echoed ... Clancy Brothers.
I suppose there is an echo of nostalgia for this folk singing group and its a wonderful
collection of songs and folksy music ... Black Velvet Band ........... again on You Tube is a
favourite song with the television audience.
Finnegans Wake strikes terror into our students as its James Joyce at his finest but our
students found it a little bit "heavy" so the
Dubliners making light work of it ..
would be welcome! But then that was the past and the College is now Closed and the students of my University Classroom are now Teachers of Literature ......... I was their teacher at that point in time.
For everyone a walk down memory lane is a fine way of spending time on Sunday ...... lovely songs and melodies from the Dubliners 1968 with latterly a few updates as well .. nice work ..
