John Sheahan (born 19 May 1939) is an Irishmusician and composer and the last surviving member of the definitive five-member line-up of The Dubliners.
He joined The Dubliners in 1964 and played with them until 2012 when The Dubliners' name was retired following the death of founding member Barney McKenna.
Early years and musical apprenticeship
John Sheahan was born in Dublin on 19 May 1939. His father, a native of Glin, County Limerick, was a member of the Garda Síochána (the Irish Police Force) stationed in Dublin. He is the grandson of Patrick Sheahan, a Dublin Metropolitan Policeman, who in 1905 died trying to save the life of a pipe workman who was overcome by toxic exhalations in a sewer on Hawkins Street, Dublin, where a memorial statue stands today.
He went to school to the local Christian Brothers in Marino, Dublin, where he received his first musical education, learning the tin whistle. This experience was shared with Paddy Moloney, who later founded The Chieftains, and Leon and Liam Rowsome, sons of the piper Leo Rowsome. When he was about twelve years old he began to take an active interest in music and soon he was to transfer the musical knowledge gained on the whistle to a fiddle he found lying around at home. Enthusiastically supported and encouraged by his parents, he attended the Municipal School of Music in Dublin where he studied classical violin for more than five years.
John Sheahan (born 1972) is an Australian born field hockeycoach, who is a graduate of Tenri University where the majority of the men's and women's national team graduated. Sheahan has two master's degrees in sports science and has been coaching the men's and women's university teams since graduating himself. He led the women's team since 2005.
An Droighneán Donn / An Bríste Bréidín - Tiennet Simonnin - Uilleann pipes
Il existe plusieurs versions de la chanson « An Droighneán Donn », la version interprétée ici en slow air provient du répertoire de Seán Óg Potts. J’ai entendu la slip jig « An Bríste Bréidín » sur un enregistrement de Jimmy O’Brien-Moran, cette mélodie faisait partie du répertoire de Lord Rossmore (1765-1843).
Je joue ici sur un flat set en do d’Alain Froment.
There are many versions of the love song "An Droighneán Donn" ("The Blackthorn Tree"), the version performed here in slow air comes from the repertoire of Seán Óg Potts. I heard the slip jig "An Bríste Bréidín" ("The Frieze Britches") on a recording by Jimmy O’Brien-Moran, this melody comes from the piping of Lord Rossmore (1765-1843).
I play on a flat set pitched in C made by Alain Froment.
