For the second month in a row, Folk at the Barlow is privileged to welcome one of the true legends of the folk music scene.
ANDY IRVINE is one of the great Irish singers, with a voice that gets to the very soul of Ireland. He has been hailed as "a tradition in himself". Musician, singer, songwriter, Andy has maintained his highly individual performing skills throughout his over 60-year career, and has been at the helm of legendary bands like Sweeney’s Men and Planxty, then Patrick Street, Mozaik, LAPD and recently Usher’s Island. Andy has been a world music pioneer and an icon for traditional music and musicians.
As a soloist, Andy fills the role of the archetypal troubadour with a show and a travelling lifestyle that reflect his lifelong influence, Woody Guthrie. His repertoire consists of Irish traditional songs, dexterous Balkan dance tunes and a compelling canon of his own self-penned songs.
Supporting Andy are Liverpool duo Tony Gibbons and Kate Bradbury. These great musicians and supporters of our club perform traditional songs and their own compositions. Their two-oart harmonies are accompanied by Tony's guitar/bouzouki and Kate's fiddle. Kate is a brilliant songwriter and scrapes a mean fiddle. Tony's is a great accompanyist and tells some rather splendid jokes.
