Abbey Tavern
Productions Records was a DIY Irish
label. It managed one singles. It issued singles in an ATP-100
numerical series. The Abbey Tavern Singers are an Irish vocal group who had a
major hit in Canada and a minor hit in the United States in 1966 with "We're Off
To Dublin In The Green." The group's history begins in 1962 near the ruins of
Howth Abbey, when it was founded by Abbey Tavern owner Minnie Scott-Lennon, who
decided to add a sing-along music attraction to her establishment. The idea was
immediately successful, and as group became locally popular an album was
released on Pye Records in 1965. When the folk-music craze died out, the Abbey
Tavern Singers eventually quit their touring, and again became the house
attraction at their namesake tavern. On an intermittent basis they continued to
travel internationally for special occasions such as St. Patrick's Day. The
group's successors were still advertised as performing at the Abbey Tavern in
Dublin as of 2013. Distributed By Abbey Tavern
Records.
