Born in James's Street in the heart of Dublin, he spent most of his life in Inchicore. An all round sportsman, he has many medals and trophies for GAA, Soccer and Athletics from his early days, Which might account for him being an ardent "DUBs" fan, he is also a great supporter of the Irish soccer team, having played music for them on numerous occasions throughout the years. Hobby’s include music, art, reading and golf in that order. Sean started his music career in 1963 by forming a band called "The Jolly Tinkers” they changed the name some years later to "The Quare Fellas" being influenced by that great author and character the late great Brendan Behan. Went on to form the "Ramblers" in 1970, turned professional in 1972, having packed in the day job in the P&T (now Eircom). |
They have performed at most Major Festivals worldwide, including headlining The Milwaukee Irish Festival, The Cleveland Irish Festival, Hollywood Irish Fest, Florida, Miami Irish Fest, Ft Lauderdale and most USA, Canadian & other festivals throughout the Globe!
Their music has also taken them all over Europe to rapturous receptions.
They have performed at every major venue in Ireland and abroad, including Dublin’s National Stadium, National Concert Hall, Cork’s Opera House, England’s Royal Albert Hall, New York’s Carnegie Hall and any other venue you care to mention.
They have been honoured on several occasions by being given the Keys to the cities of Ft Lauderdale and Hollywood (Florida) and Moorehead ,Kentucky.
They are in the Hall Of Fame in The Helen Stairs Theatre in Florida, and have also received The Arkansas Traveller Award, all normally reserved for visiting dignitaries.
Among their many ardent fans are the beautiful actress Maureen O’Hara, star of that magical movie, “The Quiet Man”, ex-Republic of Ireland managers, Eoin Hand, Johnny Giles & Jack Charlton, and a host of well known celebrities.
Sean has kept The Ramblers (As they are affectionately known), going throughout the years, and they are now stronger than ever. With major tours of Ireland ,England, Europe, USA, Canada & Australia lined up, they are sure to be coming your way soon.

Hi Folks,
Ireland's No. 1 Ballad and Folk Group (8 Gold Albums), "The Dublin
City Ramblers" and the legendary Southern Rockers, "The Winters
Brothers Band" have decided to join forces to present an amazing
and unique duel cultural concert presentation. "THE HERITAGE CONCERT."
Since American Country Music and Southern Rock and Roll evolved from
Irish Music the two bands decided to tell this historic tale in a 2
1/2 to 3 hour concert. The format is as follows: Set one: "Dublin
City Ramblers" perform 45 minutes of Irish Music and stories.
Set two: "The Winters Brothers Band" perform 45
minutes of Southern Rock and Roll and tell stories about their music
and the influence Irish Music had on them.
Set three: Both bands on stage alternating songs and stories (45 to
60 minutes). Both bands play a couple of each others songs in their
own style.

John Ryan, USA Manager
