Subject: RE: Whatever happened to The Dublin City Ramblers
I know this is a long shot but I just thought I can answer this one. DCR still are still around and so is Patsy Watchorn, their former lead singer. They parted back in 1995 and since most people I met are interested in the unique voice that was the brandmark of the band, I'll concentrate on Patsy. Many folks still expect Patsy to be with DCR which is not the case; I can remember a DCR gig a couple of years ago where some fellow in the crowd shouted "Where's Patsy?" and I guess that sums it up.

Basically, Patsy does have a nice web site now with a lot of information at Patsy Watchorn Online. There are all the news about him as well as a gig list, a photo gallery and lots of stuff about his new album Hearts On Fire; there are audio clips of all the songs online too. Everything over there is for free. As especially folks from the US often still assume him to be with the band, I thought this late reply still may be helpful to some.

BTW, he was playing the States this year.

And, oh yes, I'm a fan!
