Drunken Landlady - The Bothy Band circa 1977

gives me shivers each time. absolutely beautiful!

There are about 8 Bothy videos from the 1970s posted here on YouTube.
All of them are good, but this is the only (one in my opinion) which demonstrates their dead-on timing... the others all have occasional lapses, whereas this one seems flawless.

Those of you who have their After Hours album recorded in Paris in 1978 will know what I mean... how could their timing be so impeccable?

They are the stuff of legends.
They were The Yardbirds of celtic music: exceptional talents, together briefly.

Michael is still with us forever!!!!I I´m plaiyng his parts and i feel very honoured. I´m from ARgentina. Long live the bothies!!!! my band is calles DOLAVON!

Is there any hope of a reunion? I know Mícheál is no longer with us.

I first heard this on my sony walkman at piccadilly circus outside Tower Records, after buying it because I liked the album cover. I think it's my favourite set of dance music ever. I also have it on vinyl. It's perfect :)

Holy Cr*p ! ... weren't the 'Bothies' just the absolute dog's danglies, of all the various incarnations of a fairly small group of fine irish musicians... De Dannan & Planxty were great, but the Bothy Band had something else ! Wicked !

Awesome!!
