There was an excellent documentary about the modern Irish folk and pub
music scene on the BBC this last year called Folk Hibernia which had a
good deal of rare footage of the Dubliners and their scene back in the
day. Great commentary from Eamon Carr (Horslips) on the dynamic
between the Dubliners and the Clancy Brothers.

I was fortunate that a friend taped this for me but good old You Tube
has segments too:

I have the double CD 'complete' Dubliners, which really just gets you
started and also the Seven Drunken Nights CD.
