I’m saddened today to hear of the loss of Barney McKenna, the legendary banjo player of The Dubliners. Barney was the last surviving member of the original line-up of The Dubliners, known at first as the Ronnie Drew Ballad Group.
At a loss for what to post today as a fitting tribute, I thought this excellent short documentary was perfect, capturing the humour of the man and the deep love for him among those near him.
