'The Older the Fiddle, the Sweeter the Tune' In this one-off special, we feature the words, wisdom and music of John Sheahan. At 80 years of age, John is the last surviving member of the world-renowned band, The Dubliners, who were as famous for their long beards, punishing touring schedules, and it might be said, for their legendary after show drinking sessions!  John is a fiddle player of note and most fans will remember his composition The Marino Waltz which was used for years in a television ad for Bord na Móna's peat briquettes. After countless albums with The Dubliner's, it's only now that John has finally launched his very first solo album called Flirting Fiddles.
