John Sheehan The Dubliners

This week I spoke with John Sheehan on the phone about his upcoming concert in Cork Opera House this August. Sometimes referred to as, "The quiet one," John is the only member of the group to have had a formal musical education. He was rather proud of this status Until quite recently when an old man in a rural district of Ireland came up to him, following a concert, and said, "Tell me, young fellow, do you read music or are you gifted?"
