These two men are in their seventies nowadays and still wonderful musicians. They are masters of their craft.
The quality of these two legends and this performance is just beyond belief. It makes me so happy to see them together like this, and also so sad that we are not able to experience it live. Thank you for recording and sharing.
I wish this got more views. Such talent.. R.I.P Liam O 🇮🇪
Fabulous, beautiful music. Playing full of wonder played with freedom and imagination.
Great stuff lads. You were the musical backcloth of my youth. I had the great privilege of playing with Dónal once - the high point of my musical career! Gentlemen and scholars, both of you.
The voice so familiar. The beat too. Lovely lyrics, be God where have the years gone?
Fantastic to discover this by chance. Two of Irish music's greatest heroes. Each of these wonderful songs is like a true friend you've known for decades and can always turn to for reflection, nostalgia, solace, warmth or good craic. Thanks, you rambling boys of pleasure, for this great gift that uplifts the spirit and warms the heart in strange, lonely times.
This beautiful music, these wonderful musicians - it somehow has something healing listening to this.
Just love the two men. Wonderful musicians! All time heroes of mine when it comes to Irish music.
I’d not heard several of these numbers done as musical duets like this. Really liked it! It must be very for performers like Andy and Donal to give a top performance to a basically empty venue like this. Let’s hope it’s not long before the audiences are back, post covid.
In 1968 I was with a band called the Clouds from Downpatrick and once we were playing in the Stella in Dublin. We decided to go for a pint in Donahues just to see the famous pub where the Dubliners played. No luck we were asked to leave......the reason? Long hair. Couldn't believe it.
Remember seeing these wonderful musicians when Planxty had a gig in Spiddal in 1972
Thank you Donal and Andy. Grand session!! Andy, we hope to see you and Kumiko back here in Norway! We’ll always have a stage and an audience for you!!
Gratitude to the both of you and for keeping the torch lit so we all are able to listen to the essence of what this music holds. 🍀❤
My 20 year old daughter, Cedar Dobson, is a student at Pulse College in Dublin and is doing a research project on Donal Lunny. She will be contacting him this week to see if she can interview him. A dream come true for my daughter, as she is a trad musician from California meeting her idols in Ireland. Love to you both, Andy and Donal.
Donal Lunny; went to the Dunny and played it on Bazouki!...lol.;-)
Andy's vocals on "Autumn Gold" blow me away. This is a song I haven't listened to in a very long time, but when the record came out I played it probably 10 times a day (having been a teenager then), so I know it in and out. His voice/phrasing sounds unchanged.
In the end Andy referred to the lack of a real audience as a result of worldwide measures to fight for fewer Covid-related deaths in these mid-pandemic times . There may not have been much of a physical human presence in the studio but they must rest assured the songs these giants of music played and sung, resonated . They touched a lot of souls around the world. As Andy's an Donal's voices mature they become more poignant. What a relief and energy when hearing their songs now!
I Thank and applaud you Donal and Andy.
Simply beautiful!
"mid pandemic times"? What kind of nonsense are you talking?
Praise the Lord for these amazing souls who express so much of life's bittersweet longing for heaven.
The best irish musicians I ever met. Andy is my idol - met him several times in Germany. Love you both!
Thankyou Andy and Donal... great to see you playing together in strange times..
Great set. By two great legends.
It was several years ago. Well, perhaps many years ago. Thought I saw Andy Irvine and Donald Lonnie playing in Charleston, South Carolina. I am very happy to State that I will add to my bucket list a trip to Ireland this June. The whole purpose is to listen to the music that I love so well!😊
Such a wonderful Irish song by Dónal!
As a young man growing up, I always remember my father playing songs from Planxty, Dubs, Wolfetones, Dick Gaughan, Chieftains, Christy Moore, Paul Brady etc. Always thought it was annoying, then as I grew into the traditional Scottish/Irish/Trad loving 38 year old man that I am today, enjoying it, I thought I'd take my dad to Andy Irvine a couple of years ago, and he fell asleep. 🤣
LOL
He was into rap by then. ☺
you know you're getting old when you remember stuff from Andy Irvine's Song about the Dubliners. Being part of the Irish Folk Wave in Germany in 1973/74, with Micho Russell and the Furey Bros, I will never forget Luke Kelly bringing a champagne flute full of Whiskey on the stage and had it down after the first song. Legends, all of them!
I remember them both from there young days in Planxty. Go hiontach, go raibh míle maith agat.
Oh, it's so good to hear you boys still singing and playing. You have have lost nothing of your presence, great story-telling and awesome musicianship!
Two of the greatest.
Yeah, and Paul Brady too!
Absolutely stunning music!
I 1st heard Planxty in 1979..and I enjoy your music more than ever...a sure inspiration...❤
andy Irvine.....Irish Segovia.
An infinite hands clap and thanks to you Irish heroes...your music and your persons will stay by me till my last go...an health where ever you might be
You two have fed my soul for so many years and I am so lucky to have seen you together and separately over the years. You are the best....love and best wishes to you Andy and Donal...xxx

So Great!

Love! Thank you!
What’s the second song, the one that Dónal sings? Shoney River? I can’t make out all the lyrics.
Of course you can't, he is singing in his native language - Irish Gaelic. English or American is not the first language of most people in the world.
