The Irish Rovers, 50 Years is the greatest of the Greatest Hits, and the best of The Best of The Irish Rovers.

Listen to an extended Album of the Week feature programme from 12 noon on Saturday 17 May produced by Hamish Douglas Burgess of Maui Celtic talking with George Millar. An edited version can be heard at 12 midnight on Saturday and 7.00pm on Monday 19 May.

“As of this writing, the Irish Rovers have been travelling the world for close to fifty years and in fact, January 1st of 2015 will be our official 50th Anniversary.  Different members have passed through our ranks over the years and all will be represented in this anthology.

We’ve sung thousands of songs over the years and trying to choose which ones should be included here was about as easy as teaching a chimp how to do an Irish jig, oh wait, they’ve done that!  Oh well…anyway dear fans, here are some early recordings, some children’s songs, some from the middle and later years and some new ones, just written. These songs are from us to you, with the deepest heartfelt gratitude for your unfailing support of us all these years. Thank you and please enjoy.”

Slainte, George Millar, December 2013.
