Andy Irvine is no stranger to Bathurst, having first played here over thirty years ago, with multiple return performances - solo, in duos, and with the supergroup MOZAIK.
Andy was at the forefront of the Irish Folk Revival of the 1960s, where he cut his musical teeth with bands like The Dubliners. He formed the ground-breaking band SWEENEY’S MEN in the mid 1960s, before exploring Eastern Europe in search of Balkan music.
He returned to be a founding member of the legendary Irish band PLANXTY, with Christy Moore. This band changed the whole course of Irish music, and brought it to the world.
He has since pursued an relentless solo touring career (inspired by his childhood hero, Woody Guthrie), and has been a founding member of a number of stellar groups, including PATRICK STREET, USHER’S ISLAND and MOZAIK.
His is one of the great voices in Traditional Music, he is a multi-instrumentalist of extraordinary virtuosity, a wry raconteur in concert, and a prolific song writer on a wide range of subjects – historical, political and humorous.
Andy received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the inaugural RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards in 2018, and has rightly been described, and hailed, as “a tradition in himself’.
Those who know Andy will not want to miss this performance, and any who don’t can discover what they’ve been missing at LITTLE ALBERT’S on February 2nd.
