The  next few weeks see the fellas on the road in various states. We hope to see you out there. If we need to get to your neighbourhood let us know. We just need to find a good festival that wants us and we'll be there ...

From The Young Dubliners email:

 

Firstly we are playing in Fresno this weekend on Sat night May 16th. The show is on the grounds by the Public House bar. Its an open air show but we play at 8pm so things should have cooled down a bit by then. We will have the full crew including Eric Rigler on the pipes so don't miss it. New songs galore from the new album and plenty from the others as well.

Then next week the summer kicks into gear. We start the week out in Chicago at the Gaelic Park Irish Festival and then head to Copenhagen for a short Danish tour. Following that we will return to the US and begin a 3 month long summer tour of the country. All the details are on the tour page so check it out when ya get a free minute

THIS YEARS IRELAND trip is rockin!!!! I just found out that we only have 20 spots left. Its the recession proof holiday of a lifetime. The price is lower then any other vacation package I have seen....and you get the Dubs as your guide!!! I was delighted to find that many are returning folks from previous trips (proving what a laugh it is) and they will be able to show the newer travelers how to live it large. I am getting goosebumps as I write. I will have all the shows finalized very soon so stay tuned for that.
