Rare old times
Dublin City Ramblers on Dolphin Records sing Rare Ould Times by Pete St. John

Dublin Weekly, June, 1979

This haunting, nostalgic ballad which highlights the passing of some of Dublin’s famous landmarks has become what the music business calls “a standard.”…The song’s poignant lyric and uncanny pathos is enjoyed and sung from New York to Brava, from Sydney to Clonakilty. It became a national number one…The constant demand for copies of the original recording by the Dublin City Ramblers has led Dolphin Records to reissue what many folk fans regard as the definitive version of this great song.
