Andy Irvine has spent six decades gathering songs from Ireland, Britain, the Balkans and beyond. A founder of Sweeney’s Men, Planxty and Patrick Street, he helped bring the bouzouki and mandolin to the heart of Irish traditional music. He remains a much loved solo performer and a songwriter with a gift for telling true stories in song.
