Patrick Street

[Irishbookish]

I'm going down to see Patrick Street in St. David's, Cardiff in a couple of weeks. Just interested to see if anyone's heard them and what they were like. They're probably a bit like Planxty.

"..Patrick Street have already achieved massive cult status amongst lovers of Irish folk music. The all-star, legendary Irish supergroup features the superb fiddle playing of Kevin Burke (ex Bothy Band), the accordion wizardry of Jackie Daly (ex De Dannan), the haunting vocals plus mandolin, harmonica and bouzouki playing of Andy Irvine (ex Planxty), the fine guitar playing of Ged Foley (The House Band) and new recruit John Carty on fiddle.."

Go for it Bookish.. You won't be sorry. I've seen them twice in my local. Andy Irvine has another band that plays here too called Mozaik.

I haven't seen them live but have listened to all of groups listed. All of these guys are top notch and worthy of seeing individually. All together will be a real treat. Don't pass it up.

The smell on Patrick Street is wicked.
