Following the death of Barney McKenna and the retirement of John Sheahan it was agreed The Dubliners would end as a touring band.

Sean, Patsy, Eamonn and Gerry wanted to keep the music alive though, and The Dublin Legends were born.

The Dublin Legends play on Saturday, March 16.

Tickets cost £21 and doors open at 7.30pm.
