Thirty-five years of music as.....

Andy Irvine (solo and collaborative projects)
Through all the years of playing with various bands, Andy has maintained his individualism and singular passion for songs and music that stretch the boundaries of traditional music. Whether it be blending Eastern and Western European traditional music together; carrying the immigrant and exile songs of the Irish diaspora back to Ireland and around the world; or being a persistent voice of social justice and a reminder of the joys and sorrows throughout our human experience, Andy has always stood apart. Often called "a tradition all his own," he defies classification and categorization other than as a musician strongly rooted in the traditional music of all people.

Sweeney's Men
On the front end of the folk revival movement in Ireland, Sweeney's Men helped shape a generation of music that was defining a new identity and pride for traditional music. Sweeney's Men is considered a "seminal" band for it's unique presentation of traditional ballads, pub songs and tunes, juxtaposition with American folk songs of hard times and social justice.

Planxty
After laying the foundation with Sweeney's Men, Planxty was the next natural progression. Considered one of the Celtic-folk "super-groups" of the 70's Planxty helped popularize Irish traditional music in Europe and America.

Patrick Street
What can be said about Patrick Street except that they are some of the "best of the best" in Irish traditional music. It started as a grand project to bring four "masters" together for a single tour, but that was fifteen years, many tours and eight albums ago.
