Ciaran Burke R.I.P., Bobby Lynch R.I.P., This was not Pre Luke Kelly, R.I.P. he was probably sick that night, Ronnie Drew R.I.P., The only one lving of the original; Dubliners is Barney McKenna. Pete Seeger said that Barney is the best Tenor Banjo player in the World and he said that back in the mid 60's. Ar Laimh Deas Dia Go Raibh an anam dilis.

So this is pre Luke?

@eblanaken this while Luke is in England. He was in the band for some time in 1962, left and joined again
