Following years on record labels, the Young Dubliners will release their forthcoming record independently, the first time in their career. “We had a few offers but decided we were well overdue to take things into our own hands” says Keith Roberts, lead singer for the band. “After eight albums on various labels its just seemed right to go it alone for once and maintain full creative control.”
However “going it alone” did not mean without financial support and for that they turned to their fans. After only two weeks the band had raised over half the necessary funds to complete the recording, manufacturing and marketing plan for the album and began work on Feb 1st. The drive continues on their website http://www.youngdubliners.com/
Despite a release date tentatively set for summer 2012 the Dubs plans to release a
single, “We The Mighty,” given to all the fans who have contributed to the current pledge drive. It will made available to the public later this summer in anticipation of the new record.
Following the tour they will head back into the studio to complete the recording.
