[klanger]

AWESOME

[CasperTvrnello]

FOR GOD'S SAKE!

[horcruxkiller]

Great musician!

[goodbyezachry]

Great stuff.

[yaichanne]

Andy Irvine is the absolute best!! The comment from Daddy's little girl,yozzer56 should be completely disregarded.

This is a beautiful version from the master of the strings.

[JamesLMasten]

Though Andy Irvine is a fine musician, I would be hesitant to disregard the performance of another musician without having heard it. Certainly, there is the possibility that the young lady is not just a "daddy's little girl," but is instead making an objective statement of her opinion.

what album of andy's is this on?

[muntoidprime]

it's on the new mozaik album changin' trains ... might be on another too, I don't know. He's great anyhow - and i second the parallel lines comment below. A masterpiece.

[Iomarca]

dziemmak, if you haven't already got it, get the 1981 album by Andy and Dick Gaughan "Parallel Lines", an (almost) unknown work of genius. In particular, "Captain Colston" and "Floo'ers O' The Forest" are masterpieces.

Irvine fans also should not miss the Mozaik album, Live At The Powerhouse.

kevo32a: "Where did all his hair go?" Well, he is in his mid-60s now... He started performing trad music in O'Donoghoes, Merrion Row, in 1962.

Dead right, U/piper ! Andy is one of the VERY best, and a really nice guy with that....I'm sure 'my dad has a better version' must be happily performing in the Scunthorpe workingmans club !!!!

[UilleannPiper1987]

Greatest honour to you, Andy!

No matter whether some idiots say anything else: you´re the best singer on earth, I got your picture on my wall in my room!

[autodane]

"This sounds so much better slow

." That's a rare one!

Dear "PamBeatabet",

Thank you SO much for posting this...

Just spotted it, during my first visit to YouTube today!

I've also sent you a longer email. Hope it reaches you.

With kindest regards; Patrick.

Andy Irvine is just great. I so wish I could play like that!!

[drfunkensteineire]

I think I was at this gig. Thats in Whelan's, right? He did a class version of Tom Joad that night.

[kevo32a]

when was this taken. where did all his hair go?

nice video. good music

[PamBeatabet]

Thanks. This video was taken on the 20th of May '06 at the Mandoline Festival in Varazze, Italy.

As to the wherebouts of his hair... who knows, some Delilah type woman might've got to him?

[dziemmak]

Andy Irvine is the best (of course except of Dick Gaughan :). Thank you very much for this clip.

[thefan60]

Just GREAT. I love his way of singing, his guitar playing. NO COMPROMISE.

[autodane]

I like his guitar-shaped-bouzouki playing even better.

[edelahaye]

Thank for having mentionned this.

I'am a Irish bouzouki player in Paris, and I don't undertstand the purpose of disguising an ol'good Irish bouzouki into a guitar..

[autodane]

Bigger body= fuller sound, also easier to sit on lap. I was talking to him when he came through my town and he mentioned how much he was sick of people calling it a guitar.

[MrZonko]

I think he says it's more comfortable to play.

Cheers Bazz! And Andy, the old magic is still there ;-)
