Hellraising Dubliners silenced by prayer

LEGENDARY hellraisers The Dubliners fell unusually silent yesterday when they were upstaged by the Lord’s Prayer.

The veteran folk band are playing two 50th anniversary homecoming concerts in Dublin’s Christ Church Cathedral as part of the capital’s annual TradFest.

But the four surviving members were forced to hush during the launch when a lay minister insisted on upholding the church’s traditions of saying noon prayers from the pulpit.
