thank you so much for posting songs of a concert of that greatest voice of scottland.

Have really missed him on youtube til yet.

Andy has an amazing voice, doing equally well with humorous tunes or emotional ballads. While the sound quality of this video doesn't do justice to his voice, it's great to see him (& Gerry) in a live performance. Thanks for posting this!!

I think I got him mixed up with another Andy Stewart.

Seems this one is still singing and drinking. But he sure looks awful here. Might get someone to pick his clothes out and make friends with the Lighting Director. He looks like a killer from a Slasher film here who just woke up from the back of the van.

@Rexicano

No that is not true. He is alive and (I hope) well.

@Sirenengesang

IS that true?

And I Can't find anything about why on the web?

[MrJohnered]

There are a handful of stout lads that ask me every Spring - is Andy M coming back this year?

It's a grand party every time...

You seem to be looking for "News from Moidart". You can find a (slightly pathetic) version by the Corries on YouTube.

Does anyone know the old Silly Wizard battle song where the lyrics "Come through the heather, around ye gather, you are to welcome him early...." or something like that?

Andy spent his summers in Ireland growing up. I don't hear any thing different in his singing voice than we sings anything else. Obviously, an Irish song is going to lay out differently than a song by Burns or one from Andy's own pen.
