After the song, and accompanying video made headlines in Belfast, N. Ireland, it was also featured in a Canadian documentary for the CBC which aided in returning the credit of building the ship to the Northern Ireland shipyards of Belfast.[13] The album was produced in response to YouTube activity.[14]
The band slowed down their touring schedule in their fiftieth year. The release of The Irish Rovers, 50 Years compilation album supports their Farewell To Rovin' Tour will take a few years to complete.[15][16]
After the long tours are done, the band says they will still record and play special events.
