Often after your gigs,there’s praise for a setlist when songs have been combined.I’ve come across a good example by some of your favourites…
2010,live album,featuring vocals by Norma Waterson and daughter,Eliza Carthy…fab singing/close harmonies…and a highlight with the pairing of ‘Brother can you spare a dime’? With Richard Thompson’s ‘Al Bowlly’s in Heaven’.
There’s very relaxed stage chat…at one point Norma apologises if she talks too much -and says of Mike…’me brother can go on longer…’! Thankfully,they did and left a brilliant legacy.
RIP Watersons…viva those still singing

The Waterson’s ( Mike Norma and Lal with cousin John) still turning here on the table
“When first I went a waggoning a waggoning did go”
Ah, C.
I love to see someone calling them the ‘Large Bottle’. A term nearly lost.
Do you remember the stubby large bottle with the short neck and a wide base?
Christy's reply
Short neck and wide base ! Sounds like myself .. They were the right boyos. Manys the Sunday morning they left me in tatters.The feckin head blown half off me from drinkin black porter….no chance of a settler ’til far off openin time
Hi Christy,
A day in the studio with Kneecap.
(B’fhéidir D Lunny ag na rialuithe)
November for the new album.
You’ll have to give young Kielty a twist.
Gaybo was Gaybo.
It didn’t really suit Pat (as Larry used to say)
Thought Ryan really respected the singer & the song.
You’ve seen them all come and go.
The last leaf on the tree …
Say it was some craic on The Dubliners tribute.

The telling moment was when C.J. appeared from the wings and sang sweet harmonies on The Black Velvet Band.. PJ Mara had his leader well primed, tuned to the hilt….Ciarán Burke read Joe Ó Broin…I think that was the night I sang Michéal O’Keefe’s beautiful tribute to Luke Kelly…what a great band …in their prime they changed the lives of many….this week on a Bantry Street I heard a young Man from Japan busking…his repertoire entirely gleaned from The Dubliners…he is travelling around Ireland working the streets with his songs….
Jimmy’s flyin’ Christy! He’s on 2.50 for the large bottle whilst the rest of us mere mortals are a fiver a pop! Keep that to yourself though!
Christy's reply
ah Gipp, the large bottle bate all in my time…there was nothin like it….I started in on the Dannos in Clonmel where the large bottle was much preferred over the pint of loose porter..later on I heard it called a Sergeant but it tasted just as good….there is tecnique required to pour out the Danno properly…to get it all into the pint glass without wasting any of the foam…I also found that you needed a run at the large bottles… get 3 or 4 down and settled and you could go at again for the evenin….the Danno was two and six in Clonmel when the Pint was two and four but the extra tuppence never put us off
That would imply the Builders and not the Burgers Christy! The Dubliners would have been singing McAlpine’s Fusiliers around 1964 in O’Donoghues then? The best session there these days is a Sunday Evening, bordering on dangerous!
Christy's reply
I first met The Dubliners in The Two Brewers,Salford in 1967
I’ve heard of the Sunday Session…I hear that Jimmy Behan is the star turn
