Stage show produced by The Dubliners' John Sheahan with a cast singing 50 years of the band's hits as an Irish sing-along.
The Dubliners Encore comes to Babbacombe Theatre on Friday 26 March 2027, starting at 7:30 pm. It's a stage show celebrating the folk band, with 50 years of their songs and stories packed into one night. The whole thing is produced by John Sheahan, the fiddle player and Irish icon who was one of The Dubliners themselves, and it's billed as an Irish sing-along.
The set is built around the band's best-known songs, and you'll hear plenty of them: The Wild Rover, Seven Drunken Nights, The Black Velvet Band, Whiskey in the Jar and The Irish Rover are all on the list. It's a cast singing through the material, so it's more of a theatrical celebration than a standard gig, and the songs are the main thing. The makers call The Dubliners 'the greatest folk band of all time', and the show is their way of looking back over half a century of their music.
