Andy Irvine is a brilliant singer-songwriter and master of the bouzouki and guitar, and is a true legend of Irish folk music. He was part of Sweeney's Men in the 60's, and the hugely successful seminal Irish band, Planxty, in the 70s, and then in Patrick Street and Mozaik, and more recently LAPD and Usher's Island.
Throughout his over 50-year career, Andy has been a world music pioneer and an icon for traditional music and musicians.
As a soloist, Andy fills the role of the archetypal troubadour with a show and a travelling lifestyle that reflect his lifelong influence, Woody Guthrie. To quote The Irish Times, “Often copied, never equalled”, his repertoire consists of Irish traditional songs, dexterous Balkan dances and a compelling canon of his own self-penned songs.
