It's about as good as it gets

I saw Planxty in the Waterfront in Belfast in 2005. They are still amazing live. I have grown up listening to them.

I heard them first, when I was about 15 in my hometown Emden in Germany and was so fascinated. :-) For years after that I listened to Irish Folk, but I always liked Planxty best, great music. And now that I discovered this, I'm so surprised, it seems they grew even better with age. :-)

These guys just get better with time, the vocals are just terrific, the accompaniment has gotten more refined, as that could even be possible! Hey guys, do another reunion soon will ya?

I believe I listened to this about a thousand times in my youth, best draft dodgin' song I ever heard.

This is the first time I have heard of Planxty. I came to check out various versions of "Arthur McBride" and they did a wonderful job of it, loved the intro. I will certainly be looking into more from them. Thanks to you IrishandFolkmusic for posting this and other great music. Could you tell me what is the name of the instrument (good pic at 1:02 and close-up at 4:26) that seems to be bagpipes minus the bag? I clicked on like and saved this to my favorites. Thanks.
