**The Dublin Legends: A Legacy of Music and Stories**
The band consists of seasoned musicians Sean Cannon, Paul Watchorn, Gerry O’Connor, and Shay Kavanagh. Sean Cannon, a former member of The Dubliners, brings with him a wealth of stories from his decades-long career in the music industry. One of the highlights of his career includes The Dubliners’ iconic collaboration with The Pogues on the hit song “The Irish Rover” back in 1987, which made its way to number eight on the UK singles chart.
After the passing of founding member and lead singer Barney McKenna in 2012, the remaining members of The Dubliners decided to rebrand themselves as The Dublin Legends. This decision was a tribute to their past while also allowing them to continue touring, performing beloved ballads, and creating new music for their dedicated fanbase.
**A Musical Journey Across the Globe**
For over a decade, The Dublin Legends have been enchanting audiences worldwide with their timeless music. Their upcoming UK tour in 2025 promises to bring a treasure trove of hits and beloved tunes, including classics like “Whiskey in the Jar,” “Dirty Old Town,” “The Wild Rover,” and “Seven Drunken Nights.”
Their current lineup includes Shay Kavanagh, who joined the band after the passing of lead guitarist Eamonn Campbell in 2017. Kavanagh, a respected figure in the Irish folk music scene, has a rich musical history with bands like General Humbert and The Dublin City Ramblers.
