THE DUBLIN LEGENDS - Passionskirche Kreuzberg - 21 Nov 2024


The Dublin Legends
(formerly The Dubliners in a slightly different line-up) played the Passionskirche Berlin-Kreuzberg last night. They always had a loyal fan base over here and used to come around every Christmas season. I remember having seen them ages ago in 1991 at the old Tempodrom which had the shape of a circus tent and was located in the district of Tiergarten before moving to their current location.

The setlist included The Banks of the Roses, The Galway Races, Rose of Allendale, Seven drunken nights, Whiskey in the Jar and many more. A great Irish night with a lot of fun and drinks was had by all and good to see that there is already a fixed date for next year (y).


THE DUBLIN LEGENDS are Sean Cannon, Gerry O’Connor, Paul Watchorn & Shay Kavanagh (Shay replaced Eamonn Campbell who passed away 7 years ago).

Sad Losses in July †

Jane Birkin / Jane Mallory Birkin OBE (* 14. Dezember 1946 in Marylebone, London; † 16. Juli 2023 in Paris)
Britisch-französische Schauspielerin und Sängerin. Französischen Medien zufolge sei sie in ihrem Pariser Haus leblos aufgefunden worden, heißt es. Als Sängerin feierte sie 1969 mit dem Lied Je t’aime … moi non plus ihren ersten großen Erfolg, dessen Komponist Serge Gainsbourg wurde ihr Lebensgefährte und es entstand zwischen beiden eine fruchtbare musikalische Zusammenarbeit.

 


Larry (Rolf) Schuba (* 29. Januar 1951 in Landshut; † 23. Juli 2023)

Deutscher Country-Musiker und Hörfunkmoderator. ("Countrybär")  Ab 1967 war er mit der Band Western Union ein fester Bestandteil der deutschen Country-Szene. Larry lebte im Berliner Umland und war in der Gegend sehr bekannt. Mit der Band Western Union habe ich ihn einmal live auf dem Deutsch-Amerikanischen Volksfest gesehen, diese Band hat mir sehr gefallen, zumal aus ihr einige gute Musiker hervorgegangen sind wie Holger Bogen, Andy Forstmann uvm. Seine Soloauftritte, die es in und um Berlin auf fast jedem Volks- bzw. Stadtteilfest gab, waren allerdings nicht so mein Ding, auch wegen seiner teilweise eigenartigen Ansagen  ....

Sinéad Marie Bernadette O’Connor  * 8. Dezember 1966 in Dublin; † vor dem oder am 26. Juli 2023 in London; auch Magda Davitt, Shuhada’ Davitt und Shuhada’ Sadaqat)

Er spielte an der Volksbühne Berlin und am Deutschen Theater. Seinen Durchbruch als Filmschauspieler hatte er 1983 in Olle Henry. Im wiedervereinigten Deutschland wurde er vor allem durch seine Rollen in Nachtgestalten, Good Bye, Lenin! und Oh Boy bekannt.


Juliette Gréco (* 7. Februar 1927 in Montpellier; † 23. Sep 2020 in Ramatuelle)
Französische Chansonsängerin und Schauspielerin. Sie wurde als „grande dame de la chanson“ bezeichnet und galt als Muse der französischen Existentialisten.

Green Ireland, various places.
On the road in Ireland, 2009 - 2014. The album contains some pics from
Jerpoint Abbey (near Thomastown), Ireland - a quick stop at the ruins of this Cistercian Abbey in County Kilkenny, unfortunately most of it was closed. The carved cloister arcade was not accessible due to reconstruction works.
"Discover Ireland" says:
'The abbey was built around 1160 by the King of Ossory, Donal MacGillapatrick, for the Benedictine monks. In 1180 it was taken over by Cistercian monks from Baltinglass Abbey. The Cistercian order was founded in 1098 in Citeaux. In 1228 there were 36 monks and 50 brothers in the abbey.'

Albert Lee & Hogan's Heroes, The Pavilion Theatre, Dún Laoghaire - 30 May 2015

Albert Lee & Hogan's Heroes at The Pavilion Theatre, Dún Laoghaire - 30 May 2015
Last gig in Ireland - Pavilion Theatre, Dún Laoghaire

Band:

Albert Lee, git, voc, key
Gerry Hogan, steel guitar, git
Peter Baron, drums, voc
Chris Palmer, bass, voc

Doña Oxford, key, voc

Great to pay another visit to the beautiful Pavilion Theatre which is located close to the pier. The weather left to be desired, rain and strong winds, so no stroll on the seafront this time !

The gig was well attended, the setlist remained unchanged, sadly, they didn't play my request ONE WAY RIDER despite of rehearsing as Doña and Chris told me later. They had also planned to play some different songs which were not on the list but there wasn't enough time to rehearse. Anyway,  another fantastic show, a great audience and huge applause for every band member.

It was nice to see familiar faces in the crowd, Carol was there again and also Gavin Povey and wife who were just back from their France holidays. Great to have a word with Gavin who looked suntanned and was in good spirits. Gerry Hogan was much in demand for chats and photos as there were some members of the Irish Steel Guitar Association around who added 3 photos to their Facebook site and said "Albert Lee - the fastest guitar player in the world and Gerry Hogan (Hogans Heroes)." If someone is interested: The 2015 Irish Steel Guitar Festival will take place on the weekend of 17th and 18th October at the Green Isle Hotel, Newland's Cross, Dublin. Details will be posted on the Irish Steel Festival's FB site in due course.


This was the last gig of the bands' Irish leg of the tour. They crossed over to Wales on Sunday, while I had some time left for sightseeing. A bit sad to say bye-bye to green Ireland with its beautiful landscapes, friendly people und great hospitality!

Albert Lee & Hogan's Heroes, The Glór Ennis - 27 May 2015

Albert Lee & Hogan's Heroes at The Glór, Ennis - 27 May 2015
The Glór, Ennis - 27 May 2015
Band:

Albert Lee, git, voc, key
Gerry Hogan, steel guitar, git
Peter Baron, drums, voc
Chris Palmer, bass, voc

Doña Oxford, key, voc

A long way from Dublin to Ennis in County Clare. My first time at The Glór which turned out to be a nice place with comfortable seats, a friendly staff and - last but not least - a well assorted bar. 
Just a few words about the gig: Nice to meet Barbara Hogan there, who had some good advice ready about sightseeing in the neighbourhood. Also nice to catch up with Sue and Carol. Unfortunately photos were not allowed but after the break I managed to switch over to the side gallery where I was able to take some quick snaps.
As expected, the band were brilliant,
Doña went down a storm, and Gerry had fun playing his usual jingles in the middle of Country Boy, among them a few chords from 'It's a long way to Tipperary' which caused some laughter. Standing ovations at the end, and long queues at the boys' signing table.
