Sleeve Notes

The show, "Finnegan Wakes", at the Gate Theatre Dublin, ran in the spring of 1966 to packed and enthusiastic houses. From the show, we have taken for this record some highlights of the Dubliners' performances. In a later LP we hope to issue some of the many other wonderful items from the show, including the work of other artists who took part. We wish to thank the management of the Gate Theatre and Mr. Michael Geoghehan of Irish Record Factors, Dublin, for their invaluable assistance.

The Dubliners are Luke Kelly, Ronnie Drew, Ciaron Bourke, Barney McKenna and John Sheahan
