Wonderful , a true artist that will be forever remembered in Irishfolk music and around the world, I saw you play live in Rostrevor at the festival. I don't think you where impressed when I said how much I appreciated you playing smaller venues as I was not prepared to go to the big events.
So, I can only tell you the ones I recognize because I have them on CD: The first one is called „When the boys are on parade“ from the album Way out yonder the second is The Ballad of Renardine on „Changing Trains“ by Mozaik third: „I wish I was in Belfast Town“ on Parachilna fourth: „A prince among men“ from „Rain on the roof“ and the: The Dandenong also on Parachilna the next two I don't know, then comes: „The highwayman“ from „Way out yonder“ the next one is „O'Donoghue's“ also on changing trains then comes „Three Huntsmen“ from Abocurragh The next one, „time will cure me“ I found on the Planxty album „The well below the valley“ then comes „the close shave“ from Abocurragh the next I don't know Then comes „As I roved out“ from „The well below the valley“ „My heart is tonight in Ireland“ is found on „Rain on the roof“ and others then comes „farewell to Kellswater“ from „Parachilna“ the next, „A blacksmith courted me“ I have on Mozaik „live at the powerhouse“ and others the next is called „never tire of the road“ on „Rain on the roof“ and others and the last, „The plaines of Kildare“ is on „Andy Irvine / Paul Brady“
Sorry, I don´t have a Songlist. If you find one, please leave it in the comments :-) Andy is telling little Stories to each Song. ...and to most of the Songs he´s telling the title too.
His bouzouki is usually tuned GDAD, but the others are tuned differently (I mean the mandolas, the "Basouki" also called a "Blarge"( the big one), and I suspect also the "Andyline". However, I believe the chords and fingers job are the same, a bit like if you put a capo on a guitar tuned in a certain way, you use the same chords but higher on the neck...
love andy, but there's far too much complicated and wild playing going on - he looks stressed and it doesnt suit the songs nor the singing ... the audience would enjoy more, if he´d enjoy more. but maybe theats just me :-)

Incomparable! Love him.
Andy, you are my all-time musical hero. No voice like yours...just magical performance. Thank you.
One of the saddest and most beautiful songs ever
Andy Irvine the legend!
This is a fantastic performance & the quality is great! thanks for sharing
Andy rules: always has, always will.
At my stage of life his ability to remember all the lyrics impresses me. I now have to rely on the printed page.
looks like Andy plays mouth organ 'upside down' maybe wrong .. great stuff Thanks
Correct. Just like his hero Woody!
Thank you for the concert! Andy is super!
Seen him in new york twice great musician and a gentleman to speak too
Brilliant set of songs. Shame the audience was not as vocal. Great performance and clear recording. Thanks. Peter Turner, UK.
Great songs, Andy. I saw you once in a smoky San Francisco bar and once with Planxty at GAMH in SF. Big fan!

I should have qualified that question with "the traditional shape as on track two"
Can somebody please tell me the tuning on Andy's Bouzouki, it sounds too low for GDAD
It might be CGDG. See this link: www.andyirvine.com/instruments.html
His bouzouki is usually tuned GDAD, but the others are tuned differently (I mean the mandolas, the "Basouki" also called a "Blarge"( the big one), and I suspect also the "Andyline". However, I believe the chords and fingers job are the same, a bit like if you put a capo on a guitar tuned in a certain way, you use the same chords but higher on the neck...
Name of songs??? Please x.x
They are in the description here..now anyhow :)
love andy, but there's far too much complicated and wild playing going on - he looks stressed and it doesnt suit the songs nor the singing ... the audience would enjoy more, if he´d enjoy more. but maybe theats just me :-)
I wonder about that all the time. He was just as involved when i saw him in a small club twenty five years back.
