Further Along

The Dubliners' 1996 album, a collection of traditional Irish folk, balancing boisterous pub singalongs with heartfelt, reflective ballads.

1996 · Transatlantic Records

Further Along delivers a quintessential Dubliners experience, infused with the warmth and clarity of a 1990s studio recording. It's an album that feels like stepping into a bustling Irish pub, where the air is thick with camaraderie, laughter, and the shared weight of history. The music effortlessly shifts between rousing, foot-stomping anthems that demand a chorus of voices, and tender, introspective ballads that speak to love, loss, and the enduring spirit of the Irish people. The instrumentation, rich with fiddles, banjos, mandolins, and accordions, is played with a seasoned mastery that feels both spontaneous and deeply rooted.
