In March 1987, a special edition of The Late Late Show honoured 25 years of The Dubliners, one of Irish music’s finest exports.

Tonight, 30 years later, Ryan Tubridy will bring us all back to that famous night in Irish television as a new generation of fans get to take it all in. Surviving Dubliner John Sheahan will also be telling Ryan about how much that night meant to him and his bandmates.
