The Dublin Rogues
Shay Duffin / Brian Brennan

Off to Dublin in the Green/The Merry Ploughboy

The "Dublin Rogues" are two Dublin men called Shay and Brian who have made their homes in Canada. It has been said about these two young men that if their night-club act were any more Irish they would require an interpreter.

Shay, the lead singer of the duo, is the third youngest of eleven children. He has appeared in the Canadian television series "The Littlest Hobo", and also in the movie, "The Trap", with Oliver Reed and Rita Tushingham.

In Addition to his acting and singing ability, Shay has also shown himself to be a very successful night club entertainer. With his droll Irish humour and comedy songs he has become one of the most sought after performers on the west coast.

Brian, the musician of the duo, plays piano, organ and 12-string guitar. Not content with that, he has the audacity to sing. He arrived in Canada having gained tremendous popularity in the variety and television field in Ireland as a musician, parody writer, and general all round entertainer.

A week after his arrival in Vancouver he met Shay, who was performing at the time in the famous "Cave Theatre Restaurant". Following a long chat back-stage after the show, a friendship was made which led to the forming of the "Dublin Rogues" and subsequently to the production of this excellent album.
