The Young Dubliners – Tractor Tavern
From supporting the Gin Blossoms at Snoqualmie Casino, The Young Dubliners arrived in Ballard to what must have been a disappointingly small crowd for them. Nonetheless, they gave the gig their all and were greatly appreciated by a crowd which left throughly entertained. They performed Irish classics such as Foggy Foggy Dew, and Follow Me up to Carlaw, rounding off with the Dublin classic Rocky Road. Among all that, there were plenty of their own compositions including Touch The Sky and others drawn from previous albums such as Rocky Road, With All Due Respect - The Irish Sessions and Saints and Sinners.
To the regulars, Keith Roberts, Brendan Holmes, Bob Boulding, Chas Waltz and Dave Ingraham, was added a guest performer on the Uilleann pipes The Tractor Tavern is an institution and their staff routine is incredibly and welcomingly unobtrusive at gigs. There’s always a fair variety of what they have to offer and we’ll try and keep you up to date with their calendar on here.
Just a word about the support band, the Crafty Bastards if I may. They were surprisingly gifted and non self-promotional. No glamour, no fancy dress accompanied their act, they just played several styles of music all with equal ability. Hailing from Idaho, they would be a useful addition to a larger festival like Bumbershoot or Sasquatch. And they stayed about to support the main act from the floor which was a nice touch. If you get a chance to see them again, take it.
