REVIEW - DUBLIN PUBLIC "Irish Music for Singin', Dancin', Drinkin' & Clappin'! " (2012)


Dublin Public "Irish Music for Singin', Dancin', Drinkin' & Clappin'!" Self-released
Release date: June 15, 2012
Running time: 45:29, 12 tracks


Dublin Public hails from Long Beach , California, and consists of Shea Newirk (lead vocals, rythm guitar and tin whistle), Steve Lorentzen (mandolin, banjo and accordion), Nate Morefield (upright bass), Carrie Mock (fiddle) and Jack DeBaun (drums and percussion)

The band started in March 2011 and has already recorded a 12 track album. The title is clear: "Irish Music for Singin', Dancin', Drinkin' & Clappin'! ". Irish drinking songs, ballads and rebel songs influenced by The Clancy Brothers, The Dubliners, Christy Moore and Great Big Sea.

The sound is more pub audience oriented than Celtic punk and most of the songs are well-known standards. Even if it's a good album for a party or St. Patrick's, I miss some original material. My selection: "Some Say the Devil is Dead", "Follow Me Up to Carlow", "Mari Mac", "All for Me Grog" and "Back Home in Derry".
