Seven drunken nights
Kom op oplev seven drunken nights, med Ged Graham i hovedrollen når de gæster musikhuset Esbjerg
Seven Drunken Nights, der er kendt som det ultimative feel-good irske show, er så meget mere end en fejring af The Dubliners. Drevet af en enormt talentfuld besætning af fremragende musikere og sangere, showet har den karismatiske forfatter og instruktør Ged Graham i hovedrollen, hvis fortælling varmt guider publikum gennem fantastiske optrædener af så mange af gruppens berømte klassikere, herunder The Irish Rover, The Leaving of Liverpool, Belle of Belfast City, Dirty Old Town, The Banks of the Rose, Star of the County Down og The Town I Love So Well.
Anerkendt af fans af The Dubliners som en af gruppens største mestre, sagde Dublin-fødte Ged Graham: “At optræde med The Dubliners musik rundt om i verden er virkelig et sandt privilegium for alle, der er involveret i Seven Drunken Nights-showet. Den forbindelse, vi har opbygget med publikum gennem årene, er utrolig; de ved, at vi holder den ikoniske musik fra The Dubliners i live med den samme passion, som de har for den. Jeg tror, det er derfor, showet er blevet verdens største fejring af The Dubliners i løbet af det sidste årti.”
Seven Drunken Nights har for nylig haft et rekordår for showet, hvor de har tilbragt 42 uger på farten for at optræde med over 300 shows rundt om i verden. En sådan succes har været en livsændrende oplevelse for Ged, som sagde: “Musikken fra The Dubliners var musikken til mig, da jeg voksede op i en irsk familie. Hver søndag satte min far sine Dubliners-plader på, og vores hjem blev fyldt med denne utrolige lyd. For mig er hver aften på scenen som at træde tilbage til min barndom og være elleve år gammel igen. Det er virkelig et kærlighedsarbejde, og som fan af The Dubliners er det det største privilegium.”

The World’s No.1 Celebration of The Dubliners
Direct from the West End and having sold out venues worldwide, Seven Drunken Nights: The Story of The Dubliners, the world’s No.1 celebration of Ireland’s most iconic band will feature an all-new production, boasting the show’s most lavish set to-date.
I partnership with Tourism Ireland and in association with the legendary Irish pub O’Donoghue’s – the iconic venue where The Dubliners first began performing together – Seven Drunken Nights is a spectacular tale that celebrates Ireland’s favourite musical sons in authentic style.
Steeped in song, story and revelry, this critically acclaimed production tells the incredible story of the group’s 50-years career, invoking the spirit of the great Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Barney McKenna, John Sheahan, Ciaran Bourke and Jim McCann.
Renowned as the ultimate feel-good Irish show, Seven Drunken Nights is so much more than a celebration of The Dubliners. Driven by a hugely talented cast of outstanding musicians and singers, the show stars its charismatic writer and director Ged Graham, whose narration warmly guides the audience through stunning performances of so many of the group’s celebrated classics, including The Irish Rover, The Leaving of Liverpool, Belle of Belfast City, Dirty Old Town, The Banks of the Rose, Star of the County Down and The Town I Love So Well.
Recognised by fans of The Dubliners’ as one of the group’s biggest champions, Dublin-born Ged Graham said, “Performing the music of The Dubliners around the world truly is a real privilege for everyone involved with the Seven Drunken Nights show. The connection we’ve built with the audience over the years is incredible; they know we’re keeping the iconic music of The Dubliners alive with the same passion that they have for it. I think it’s why the show has become the world’s biggest celebration of The Dubliners over the past decade.”
In addition to glowing reviews, Seven Drunken Nights has also received praise from the families of The Dubliners. Ged said, “It was very nerve-racking meeting relatives of The Dubliners, as I didn’t know how they would react. But meeting Luke Kelly’s brother, Paddy, early on during the first tour was just brilliant. He and his family have been so supportive of the show. Likewise, Barney McKenna’s sister came to see the show when we toured Ireland and was very complimentary of how we told the story. Their support means so much to everyone involved with the show.”
Seven Drunken Nights has recently had a record-breaking year for the show, spending 42 weeks on the road to perform over 300 shows around the world. Such success has been a life-changing experience for Ged, who said, “The music of The Dubliners was the soundtrack to me growing up in an Irish family. Every Sunday my Dad would put on his Dubliners records and our home would be filled with this incredible sound. For me every night on stage is like stepping back to my childhood and being eleven years old again. It’s genuinely a labour of love and, as a fan of The Dubliners, it’s the greatest privilege.”
