The Young Dubliners (sometimes shortened to the Young Dubs) is an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1988. Their style of music has come to be called Celtic Rock, for the fusion of Irish traditional instruments and music with modern rock. They have released ten albums, starting with Rocky Road in 1993, and most recently 9 in 2013. They have toured the United States and Europe since 1994, and have supported Jethro Tull, John Hiatt, Chris Isaak, Jonny Lang, Great Big Sea, and Collective Soul. All Music.com states, "Their live shows (have) a jam-like appeal, similar to the vibes of Phish and the Dave Matthews Band." Members include lead vocalist and guitarist Keith Roberts, bassist Brendan Holmes, violinist Chas Waltz, guitarist Bob Boulding, and drummer David Ingraham. Their repertoire consists largely of original rock compositions and Irish folk songs with a rock twist. Their influences include Thin Lizzy, The Pogues, The Waterboys and U2.
Origins
The Young Dubliners were founded in 1988 by Dublin native Keith Roberts and Paul O' Toole. The two had been tweaking some Irish ballads of original music and decided that it was time to put a band together. The band consisted of Roberts, O' Toole and Brendan Holmes (bass), Randy Woolford (electric and acoustic guitar) and Douglas James (drums). Based on early recordings, the Young Dubliners produced their first cassette tape of Irish folk and pop songs recorded live at the Irish Rover entitled "The Young Dubliners".
Poor, old granddad I laughed at all his words I thought he was a bitter man He spoke of women's ways Trap you, then they use you Before you even know For love is blind, you're far too kind Don't ever let it show I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger Wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger Can-can's such a pretty show They steal your heart away But backstage, back on earth again The dressing rooms are gray They come on strong and it ain't too long Before they make you feel a man Love is blind and you will find You're just a boy again I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger Wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger When you want her lips, you get a cheek Makes you wonder where you are And if you want some more and she's fast asleep Then she's twinkling with the stars Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say Have to learn just like me and that's the hardest way I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger Wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger Wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger Ooh la la, ooh la la la la Ooh la la, ooh la la la la Ooh la la, ooh la la la la la la la
