Andy Irvine Music

Location: Ballina Arts Centre
One of the legends of Irish folk music, Andy Irvine is one of the finest singer/songwriters of his generation, his voice one of a handful of truly great ones that gets to the very soul of Ireland.
Hailed as "a tradition in himself", musician, singer, songwriter, Andy has maintained his highly individual performing skills throughout his 45-year career. From Sweeney's Men in the mid 1960s, to the enormous success of Planxty in the 1970s, from Patrick Street to Andy Irvine & Dónal Lunny's Mozaik, 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 dances and a compelling cannon of his own self-penned songs.
