The Old Town School of Folk Music made these spiffy posters for our August 21st show with Americana pioneers The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The early 7pm show is almost completely sold out, but as of this writing there are still main floor tickets for the 10pm show.

We’ll be joined by some very special guests to help make this a evening to remember. Get your tickets early, as this is likely to sell out.

The Dubliners singing Weilia Walia

Tangleweed is getting ready for our Saturday show at the Fiddler’s Hearth in South Bend, dusting off some of our Irish repertoire. We’ll almost certainly play this one, perhaps the catchiest song ever written about infanticide.

The footage is from Swedish television in 1973. Ronnie Drew has the lead vocal.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. The first three Dubliners records, The Dubliners with Luke Kelly, In Concert, and Finnegan Wakes are three of the finest records you will ever hear in any genre.
