A little history

Music sounds better together.

The Creaking Doors grew around Dublin's traditional ballad sessions. Oisín joined the Sunday session at the Dame Tavern as a singer and guitarist in 2018; these recordings preserve some of the music and company along the way.

The archive moves from the Dame Tavern to Guinans on James Street. The 2020 set list spans traditional ballads, blues and songs associated with artists from the Dubliners to Rory Gallagher and the Waterboys. A set list is a snapshot of possibilities, not a track listing for every recording.
