Andre Rieu & The Dubliners performing the song “The irish washerwoman”.
The Irish Washerwoman is a traditional Irish jig whose melody is familiar to many people in the British Isles and North America.
The Dubliners formed in 1962 and made a name for themselves playing regularly in O’Donoghue’s Pub in Dublin. Initially known as “The Ronnie Drew Group”, the founding members were Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Ciaran Bourke and Barney McKenna. The change of name came about due to Drew’s unhappiness with the name, coinciding with the fact that Kelly was reading Dubliners by James Joyce at the time.
