So good to see Donal in there still. He often goes unnoticed, but that man is a legend in his own right.

I am travelling to Dublin from South Africa to see Paul Brady at the Vicar 15th April 2024 and can hardly wait. Maybe Paul will invite Andy along to join in in a few songs.

This is golden - every single song's like a trusty old friend you've known for decades who never lets you down and always makes you feel grand, though you may be shedding tears of mirth or nostalgia.

Saw Paul Brady tonight in the Town Hall theatre in Galway - what a performer - Lakes of Ponchertrain + Homes of Donegal + Arthur McBride - brings me back

Andy Irvine the best voice in Irish traditional music .

Sweet Jesus Christ! Brady is on FIRE on this version of Arthur McBride! Absolutely brilliant! :)

The idea of Paul giving Bob Dylan guitar lessons blows my mind

These gentlemen have carried their talents for many a year and this concert demonstrates these talents in abundance! Hopefully, also to people who may not have heard these terrific musicians before and came across this concert perhaps by chance ....or by sheer good fortune..🤔 It is a memorable anniversary celebration and may we continue to hear these wonderful musicians ....also for many a year!

When I heard him in Germany he played "Băneasă’s green glade" and you could close your eyes and his voice was young and you could imagine you were in that forest back in the 60s. Magical. And the artist in his 70s on the stage. A wonderful concert in front of a small and intimate audience. Beautiful.

I was there, with my Dad, both waiting all night for Arthur McBride. You could hear a pin drop during it, it was absolutely stunning.

As a teenager I had a Planxty album （or rather a cassette copied from a mates’s album) and I think the Best of the Bothy Band. I recall at the time I loved the music but after 30 years in Asia I sort of forgot. The other night I listened to an interview with Karen Matheson of Capercaillie and she mentioned how much of an influence Paul Brady and Andy Irvine were. Subsequently spent hours and hours listening to these guys in the last two days. By God they were brilliant and how in retrospect I missed them. Now sharing their music with my sons., something I should have done a long while back.

Ah lovely. Now that's a folk supergroup right there. Shame on you who gave this a dislike. you know nowt about music

Whoa. Got shivers just hearing that first note. Best ever!

These guys, wow, thanks so much for all of it. Kevin, Andy, Paul, Donal...so stellar!!!!!

Our irish trad music "Beatles" legends every one of them, true and genial

Thanks Andy Irvine for: "Băneasă’s green glade" is one of my favorite songs, I have good memories. Thanks "Planxty" by your great music. Kind regards.

Dad used to play the blue album in the house decades ago...I was about 8 when it started. This show brings up all that had been. . .cheers lads. You're all good smoke.

LEGEND

I discovered Brady singing and playing as a red haired kid with the talent of a player twice his age. He sang with such conviction and surety. I was sure at the time I'd never heard anything so perfect.

Oh my God I have that book of songs by Sam Henry. So great to see Paul and Andy still brilliant and expert musicians. Long May they continue to thrill us with the songs and music of our land🧤👏

They've still got it, in bloody shovels full. Wonderful!

Paul Brady one of the best guitar players, and he loving this job!!

Fine music ,,,,I was a great Johnston’s fan ,,,,,a long time ago ,,and Paul’s gave me some tremendous times listening to all his old and new stuff ,,,,and of course Andy goes back to the old days of traditional folk ,,,,,,they have certainly contributed a great deal to the music that we all love ,,,,,thank you

Should be entitled Andy Irvine,Paul Brady,Kevin Burke,and Donal Lunny!

Lieber Freund Andy: was für ein wunderschönes Konzert! Love from Hamburg/Germany

Brilliant... really enjoyed that wee concert... especially "Arthur McBride" fantastic folk song performed so well by your man!

Magnifique !! Incroyable!! Merci infiniment !

It is more than 40 years that I have loved these two special performers; thanks much and may they continue to entertain us all.

All is right with life again for all who listen thanks

This makes me inexpressibly happy

Dear Friend at 'Folk Celtic', Thank you *so* much for sharing this; it's wonderful finally to be able to watch the concert that was put together to commemorate the album. With kind regards; Patrick. ;-))

Quanto mi sarebbe piaciuto vederli dal vivo. Musicisti eccellenti. Grazie per averlo condiviso🤗

Everything about this is golden. Paul is so happy to be there, Donal too, and Andy is as jolly as I've seen him. How Mr. Irvine does what he does playing upside-down harp in a rack while playing those gorgeous mando runs is beyond my understanding, but bless' im for it and for that unique Andy tone in his voice. There's a touching gentleness and even lovely vibrato now in Paul's voice along with the clarion tone and power it's always had. And Donal is sitting over there out of the spotlight, but as it was when the Brady-Irvine album was recorded, he's a big part of why these songs are immortal. I posted earlier before I recognized the great Kevin Burke in there, hence this edit. 4 masterful musicians there. Thanks so much to Folky Celtic for posting this.

Ireland will never be short of the most brilliant leaders and advisers as long as Andy Irvine, Paul Brady and Dónal Lunny are on stage playing their most brilliant music, those men are Irish to the backbone, yet they area Europeans, yes they are men of this world, no Brexit here.

Many many thanks for years of joy,listening to such beautiful music and keeping history alive. Do you know how important your work is? I suspect that you do-bless you all...

32:30 Goosebumps !

Gentlemen of the best music! Lords of the best voices at all!!! Brilliant!!!

Donal Lunny is a true musician with no ego. The music is everything to Donal. A very humble and understate musician and artist.

Oh how nice to see that they performed still then. First listened to them in 1979. Loved them from that time on.

Brilliant. Well done lads, that was such a great gig, such good old tunes!

Thank you Paul Brady

Brilliant artists with a bit of Irish humour thrown in ,ceol agus craic.

Donnell is an awesome rhythm man

Andy Irvine simply SUPERB

Thanks for posting this. I have loved them from afar (Toronto) since 1976. So grateful we have KZfaq for these treasures-all for free! ♥ Paul looks so happy!

Love from sweden Paul Brady. /Christian Brady. 50% Irish 😅

Pure class thankyou for this

thanks for this, what a treat!

They have become old, but still their music is still unique.

I echo the sentiments below. Loved the album back in the day. A folky girlfriend recorded it on cassette and I took it with me to South America. Left it behind in Ecuador and was very happy to find it again on KZfaq. And to then find this wonderful concert with four brilliant musicians was a real joy. Spinetinglingly good! Love a lot of Brady's ' modern ' songs especially Spirits Colliding but it's great to see him back playing the old songs and obviously loving it. Thanks so much for posting.

Oh! To have those times back when the world may have been difficult for many, but at least it was Real and made sense. Even the begger on the streets received a certain kind of respect from people. Today I see humanity in decline because they have lost connection to their soul Get it back folks.. Nothing is lost until it's lost

The best! Thanks for sharing!

love them so much :)

Good to hear those condenser mics instead of DI pickups.

Wow I'd love to be able to justify buying a lowden guitar absolute beast of an instrument

amazing!

Greetings from Chile Andy!

Pure class

excellent people for me, and love.

What a lineup.

Love ❤️

lamentablemente me entere tarde que Andy vendria a la Argentina y no pude verlo

I loved it. I'd hoped to hear Tom Joad or the New Orleans song, but it was great anyway.

Classy stuff Gents....

Как похож Ирландский фолк на славянский...! ☘🦄☘🦄☘🦄☘🌻🌻🌾🌸🌾🌹🌹🌹🕊🐇🐀🦄🐱🦄

Ads, no problem, but in the middle of songs!?!? NOT OK!

This is so cool

mighty!

9:03 Baneasa’s Green Glade speech 10:32 the tune

Great Story

So confortable in this damned world seeing you again lads...Andy Paul Donal Kevin....what of better?

Andy Irvine is the superstar in the group. A gentleman and a scholar to boot.

Andy's fingers fly across the frets

First time I've seen Brady/Irvine play a whole melody. Nice reels.....lovely playing. Sweet seeing the great Kevin Burke with them. Wish they'd given him an opportunity to play a tune or two solo.

Arthur McBride 26:07

Old age & treachery. Fantastic! A "spalpeen" is a migrant farm worker who generally owned only one tool.

Love the song introduced at 9:01 which starts at 10:32 Baneasa's Green Glade.

Christy Moore/Planxty's, "Little Musgrave" and "Cliffs of Dooneen"; Andy M. Stewart/Silly Wizard's, "Land of the Leal"; Paul Brady's, Homes of Donegal"...and Irvine/Brady's version of "Bonny Woodhall"; if anyone knows a song as or more touching than any of these, I'd love to hear it.

Quality

Meilleure version ever d Arthur Mac Bride! Je remplace Napoleon par Poutine là 🇺🇦

Ça fait du bien de les voir à nouveau réunis... Qui est le violoniste ?

The he greatest anti-conscription song. The Irish were victims of the draft all over the world. Arthur McBride.

dear Paul: special thanks for Arthur McBride :)

Anyone know the tunes Kevin plays?

is this on dvd

Arthur McBride 25:45, but I can’t do detailed time tags on my phone. Maybe later from my laptop.

De quand date ce concert ?

What’s the name of that first song??

This is on a par with Miles

Anyone know the name of the large-bodied instrument Mr. Lunny plays on some songs?

Arthur mc bride see u❤

Strange that Brady came out and introduced himself, and ignored the the other two heavy weights on stage with him. very uncool Paul!!

Slainté 🍻☘🇨🇮 🪕🎻🪗🎶❤💛🤍💚

Janie Mac. Only gorgeous.where was this.?

who introduced bouzouki into Irish music and when? is it a '60s thing?

Is that Kevin Burke?
