The Dubliners were an Irish folk group formed in Dublin in 1962 under the name The Ronnie Drew Ballad Group, named after founding member Ronnie Drew. They soon adopted the name The Dubliners. Over the course of their fifty‑year career, the lineup changed many times, but the group’s identity and success were strongly shaped by the voices of Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew. The band achieved international recognition for their energetic interpretations of Irish folk songs, traditional street ballads, and instrumental pieces. During the early 1960s, The Dubliners were active on the folk circuits in both Dublin and London. In 1965, they signed with the Major Minor label, supported by songwriter Dominic Behan, who was hired to help refine their stage act for larger concert venues. The group worked closely with Behan between 1965 and 1966, and he contributed several songs to their repertoire, including “McAlpine’s Fusiliers,” written specifically to highlight Ronnie Drew’s distinctive gravel‑toned voice.
