Thread Name: No more Dubliners?
Subject: RE: No more Dubliners?
In an earlier documentary Sheahan told how they played a festival somewhere. Stephan Grapelli, who Sheahan has great admiration for, also played there and Sheahan knew he had attended their concert.

The next day they met Grapelli having a swim in the hotel swimming pool and got talking. Sheahan hoped to get Grapelli to give him an opinion on his fiddle playing. Grapelli however only said 'Monsieur Sheahan, you play the tin whistle very well'. Years later they could have a laugh at it.

I found this just now, a bit of a departure from their regular stuff and fair play to them.
