Dubliners Tribute to the Dubliners ( The Late Late Show)

The set originated as a special dedicated episode of RTE s The Late Late Show, hosted by Gay Byrne, on the occasion of the band s 25th anniversary year. As well as featuring a number of unique collaborations, the episode is notable for hosting the last public appearance of founding band member Ciarán Bourke, who unable to perform with the band due to health issues recited The Lament for Brendan Behan. Originally released in 1987 on VHS in PAL format, the episode was rereleased on DVD in 2008, and also as a standalone album on CD the same year.
