Fifty years later, a one-of-a-kind theatre show named after the famous song performed a sell-out tour, bringing to life the incredible story of this phenomenal Irish band.
The show proved to be a big hit on London’s West End - and it is now coming to Skegness as part of a huge European tour.
Seven Drunken Nights – The Story of The Dubliners, will take audiences on a musical journey through the career of Ireland’s favourite sons, Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Barney McKenna, Ciaran Bourke and John Sheahan as they rose to fame as Ireland’s legendary folk band.

Creator and co-producer Ged Graham said: “Both myself and fellow cast member Billy Barton were born and raised in The Liberties in Dublin and grew up listening to The Dubliners.
“The Dubliners hold a unique place in the hearts of not only Irish people but people who love folk music generally and epitomise the image of an Irish ballad group. It will be a guaranteed great night of music, song and craic!”
