Origins

The Young Dubliners were founded in 1988 by Dublin native Keith Roberts and Paul O'Toole. The two had been tweaking some Irish ballads of original music and decided that it was time to put a band together. The band consisted of Roberts, O'Toole and Brendan Holmes (bass), Randy Woolford (electric and acoustic guitar) and Douglas James (drums).[1]

Alive Alive O' was released on February 10, 1998, and gathered warm reviews. Daily Vault said "(the album) shows that they are not a product of the producer's skills, but instead, can thrive in the challenging live environment."[2]

On July 13, 2013, the band released their ninth album, titled 9.[3]
