Seven Drunken Nights – The Story Of The Dubliners returns to the New Theatre Royal, Lincoln

There’s a night of Irish charm at Lincoln’s New Theatre Royal this weekend.

Direct from the West End, and having sold-out venues worldwide, Seven Drunken Nights – The Story Of The Dubliners returns to the venue on Saturday (March 23).

In association with the legendary Irish pub O’Donaghues – the place where it all started for the band in 1962 – the show tells the story of a career spanning 50 years and invokes the spirit of Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Barney McKenna, John Sheahan, Ciaran Bourke and Jim McCann.

Leading this feelgood Irish show is a talented cast of musicians and singers bringing the group back to life.

The show stars its writer and director Ged Graham, whose narration guides the audience through the fascinating life of the group in between stunning performances of so many of their 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.

Ged said: “I can’t quite believe it. Seven Drunken Nights seems to have touched so many people who have become real fans of the show, reigniting their love of The Dubliners.

“It’s had a massive impact on my life, giving me the confidence to write more and be involved in many other productions, including the runaway success Fairytale of New York. It truly is a great privilege to bring the music of The Dubliners to the stage every night and keep their legacy alive.”
