A fecking Gallic harmonica solo??? WHAT??? I have never in all my days!!!! Mind blown

Paul Brady's rendering of Arthur McBride is in a class of it's own and would make rebels of all who hear it! I never tire of watching and hearing this performance.

Like pure mountain honey dripping from the honey best hive, like the best wine or whiskey that you ever tasted, Andy Irvine & Paul Brady and singing voices of very rarest beauty and stunning quality, the same goes for their instrument playing, their songs, songwriting, and storytelling. their music would be greatly appreciated in any land their music is played, they have got whole-world appeal

Ah the Lakes of Pontchartrain! Pure beauty as Paul Brady sings it and both play it. I drink a health to both Andy and Paul...

Can we just appreciate how skilled Paul Brady is at guitar. The stuff he plays may sound easy compared to other stuff but that hybrid picking is absolutely no joke at all.

I never tire of Paul Brady singing the word 'alligator'

I always loved this song. Two marvellous talents.

Eire .... a nation of storytellers .... such an ancient and rich culture.

All yer 70's guitar heros wouldn't last two minutes with these two!

It doesn't get any better than this. Fiendishly difficult fingerings feigning effortlessness.

Mary and the soldier is a gorgeous tune isnt it ...

How lucky were they. Sitting there. I'd given anything to see them live.. Just as lucky to be sitting here listening 40 odd years later 🍀🍀🍀🍀❤️

Arthur MacBride may be one of the best narrative songs ever recorded! I have seen each of these guys on their own, but regret not having the chance to see them together!

Still one of the best trad albums and my personal favourite. Great songs, great singing, great musicians. top quality.

FABULOUS video , Made me cry, So talented, It doesn't get better than this, Great depth of feeling 💓 Instrumentals PERFECT XX, Lovely Guys

These two are absolutely unbeatable.

Finally had the pleasure of seeing paul live in ennis absolute class

World class

Wonderful, thank you.

Years later and still timeless. Pure class!

I haven't heard this in decades! I recorded it off a television broadcast and I had forgotten how good it was.

Fantastic live performance....Brady and Irvine are in top form....and they still are, 40 years later !!!!

5:45 shows that you can indeed headbang over one of the tightest time changes you'll ever hear, and it would be in a traditional folk song with a got dang bouzouki.

I FIRST HEARD PAUL BRADY IN THE 60S HE WAS WITH THE JOHNSONS FOLK GROUP THEY PLAYED A CONCERT IN THE CORK OPERA HOUSE IRELAND 🇮🇪 A FANTASTIC CONCERT THE SUPPORTING ACT THAT NIGHT WAS A FANTASTIC FOLK GROUP CALLED THE EMMETT SPICELAND FOLK GROUP FEATURING BRIAN BYRNE AND MICK BYRNE AND DONAL LUNNY THEY TOO WERE FANTASTIC THEY HAD A NUMBER 1 HIT IN IRELAND WITH A SONG CALLED MARY FROM DUNLOE FOR ME THE BEST VERSION EVER A FANTASTIC NIGHT A WONDERFUL HAPPY GOLDEN MEMORY FOR ME 💖👍👌✌💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

gold..

So glad that that performances like this are still available, Andy and Paul created something so special when they recorded their album in 1976. Wonderful that Arthur McBride is included here too :)

Deux de mes grandes inspirations. Et mes amis aussi

Arthur McBride (from 17:10 on) is an absolutely extraordinary anti-recruitment song from the early 19th century. That whole world of resistance is ignored in the propaganda: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_McBride

Esta generacion, nuestra generación actual, no puede superar en nada, la generación de músicos que escuchamos en este video. Hoy en dia se cree que por tocar musica muy rápido, es mejor.

One of my favourite Andy Irvine songs.

Incredible performances.

... 23.59 minutes de pur plaisir ... merci ..

Has to be one of the best recordings of the highest quality musicianship ever made in this country- hard to think of any duo in our history of such quality. The playing on Plains of Kildare is stunning.

Love these two performing together!

Thx Danke german

In the 1980s I thought Hard Station is one of the best albums I have heard and i was a heavy metal fan

Fantastic

He is a master! Lovely. :)

💚🔥

Brady sounds so mature, but just looks like a wee lad. Aw...

Fab

he plays harp upside down like Woody Guthrie.

Musician official!

Was that a shot of kevin burke for half a second there?
