Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Dubliners were an Irish folk band founded in Dublin (duh) in 1962. Originally named Ronnie Drew's Ballad Group, they got popular playing in pubs in Dublin and elsewhere. They were partly the harbingers of the 60s Irish folk revival.Renouned members included the eponymous Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Ciarán Brouke, Barney McKenna, and John Sheahan.Their original set, including long-runners like Black Velvet Band was arranged by Dominic Behan, who also contributed original material. Barney McKenna was largely responsible for popularising the now-common technique of playing the tenor banjo tuned to GDAE, an octave below the fiddle, as an accompaniment—the original lineup included Luke Kelly playing a 5-string but they were looking for something distinctive. | |

Love Will Lead You Back | |
| The Dubliners (Music) / int_5c24cfa1 | comment |
Love Will Lead You Back: Many of their songs about the first World War, the Irish War of Independence, and the Irish Civil war have the theme of a soldier going to the war but ultimately coming back to reunite with his love. See above: The Leaving of Liverpool tells a story of a man who has to leave Liverpool to immigrate to California, and wishes to come back not to see his home again but to see his love.

Grief Song | |
| The Dubliners (Music) / int_e680af6f | comment |
Grief Song: The Leaving of Liverpool Black Velvet Band is definitely one of these Macalpines Fusiliers probably belongs here, a darkly comic, satirical ballad with a spoken intro about Irish building workers in England, roughly spanning the period 1939-55. Written in its current form for the group by Dominic Behan in the early 1960s, it uses a traditional tune “The Jackets Green” and its opening verse also satirises the words of that song | |

Vocal Tag Team: Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew split the lead vocals roughly 50/50, with a few songs going to Ciarán Bourke and a very few (see above) to Barney McKenna. After Kelly's death, Drew and Sean Cannon became this. After Drew's departure, Cannon and Paddy Reilly. | |

Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters | |
| The Dubliners (Music) / int_f2c895f | comment |
Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: All of the folk songs about the IRA fell under this category in the UK. Of course, many missed the distinction that they are overwhelmingly about the “Old IRA”, that fought between 1916-21 and mostly became the Irish Defence Forces, not the terrorist IRA of The Troubles. The Dubliners also had plenty of originals about Irish resistance to British tyranny in Ireland. | |
