- This ones a gem!
From the Planxty album "Cold Blow and the Rainy Night", Andy wrote this about his early days in Bucherest when he lived in a forest!!!
Followed by Mominsko Horo, with Paul & Donal.
I would say that Andy Irvine is one of the most under-rated Human Beings of all time.
i've seen him live in Paris a few years ago. A wonderful solo gig. Then I stopped by to get a record signed by him. He was so humble and kind I couldn't believe I was talking to a living legend.
Not by any musician, he isn’t.
@@darbysfarewell You said it Marty!!!
I agree.
@@darbysfarewell Glad to hear it Marty ,as one who can only listen...
ANDY IRVINE - ABSOLUTE GENIUS !!!
When I heard this song I was transported back to a little cottage in Dorset that I shared with my good friend, Jenny. Oh such good times way back in 1981 to 1984. The smell of Meadowsweet, climbing the iron age fort Maidens Castle at dawn with our employer's 5 dogs, walking through bluebell woods and our mountain of Planxty records that we bought from Collets in London. Such a long time ago but this song brought it all back!
Ah, thanks for that lovely image...
I grew up around these legends and to this day, i never tire of them. Humility wonderful stories and great joy. Thank you for your craft and pleasure you'll have shared throughout life's journey. I love you Andy.
Back in the early eighties I became addicted to Fiona Ritchie's 'Thistle and Shamrock radio production and found these marvelous musicians and many many more. I have become since then a fan of Celtic music and a myriad of various talented folks in that Genre. I am very grateful to all.
Me too!
This video makes me realise what sh*t we are served on daily basis from the music industry today. Lunny, Irvine & Brady are such talented individuals.
My all time musical heroes, Andy, Donal and Paul, along with Christy and Liam too of course. Giants of Irish music forever.
Oh yes, this is so true!
It just doesn't get any better than this.... I live in the woods and this is just a magic song for me.
legendary Bulgarian solo at end. they are so comfortable playing together. saw Irvine and lunny playing together in Galway last year. as good as ever
This song could go on forever, fantastic ending.
Something beyond JUST music ....maybe .. MAGIC ....
Yes Sorcery springs to mind
A truly overlooked, genius piece of music.
Andy's music has a wonderful balance of intensity and exquisite beauty. The album with Paul Brady is near perfect.
Not near perfect, but Perfect.
@@simonidastankovic2627 not perfect, perfectly perfect! ❤
Heaven voice!! Well done Andy!!!
Greetings from Hellas!
The first half is a memory, a clear vision to a different time and place without to question it. A time spent with good weather, rewarding work, spiritual companionship, and missed friends, a beautiful period of time with a balance of nature and civilization, with no chance of lasting forever. The instrumental part feels like raw emotion of memories that need needs to be released. This song created in memory of something beautiful is very powerful, a great example of how art is a key to our experience as human beings.
Well said! Among many remarks to myself while hearing this song for the first time, was just how vapid "popular" music has become.
I've returned to this clip countless times, but have only just know seen this comment. You managed to 'translate' it very well and eloquently. Thank you!
Every verse is as you described above. Every word
I was introduced to their music in 1975 ...and never stopped enjoying it ...music legends ...my inspiration ...Daniel Pretoria South Africa..
The genius of Andy Irvine... still finding stunning songs from the man.
what virtous skills paired with deep authentic, thank you Andy Irvine
This is what I call music and these guys are what I call musicians.
the bulgarian jam is amazing. How did they capture the spirit of the music so perfecly?
Such a very beautiful song. It creates a little glade in the mind where we can sit together and just be. It's sometimes good to remember that such places and times do exist!
One of the greatest voices ever put to tape!
Irish Treasure ever Andy so beautiful with Paul and friends thank you all
Andy is a legend, I love all the songs that he wrote but this one is my favourite ❤ I was so lucky to have seen him perform many times over the years. His voice brings me to a different place ❤❤❤
Beautiful music
Beautiful playing
A great way to start the day

Andy Irvine
A GIFT 🎁 TO THIS PLANET
Totally brilliant and timeless!
Andy ist einer der Besten of All time.😊
Beautiful recording. I am very, very familiar with this tune, but it is amazing to see the people in the audience, and how they were dressed. I would have been nine years old at the time of this performance. I did see him and Paul Brady at the Birchmere (I think?) in Alexandria, Virginia in about 1992, and Andy as a solo performer at the East Ave Tavern in Portland, Oregon in about 1996. He wasn't having a great night, but it was still good. Wonderful music.
Exquisite ever Andy this will Stand time ever thank you
Beautiful, beautiful!! First time I've heard this song. I love his voice.
Hello Karen.
How are you?
same here! I just heard 1 today thru a friend that had moved to Ireland, it was a different song about lover's leap then found this song I love love love it let's spread him around by way of FB Twitter Instagram whichever way we're able to do it
🍃☘️💚🍀💚☘️💚🍀🍃
That was very nice playing.
One of my alltime favourite tunes. And, T Alex, yes its pure genius! 1976 and today!!
Volim vas Irci moji zlatni. Our emotions comin from my Bosnia mountains and canyons to Irish soul and Andy Irvine musician, Paul Breddy and other musician from Doneghal roots.Alen Lepirica Bosnian Irish man.
i love how brady bops while he plays guitar
Loosing the run of himself 👏
Andy is really genius...I love this song
I just went to visit my son who's working in Bucuresti, his flat is in Baneasa - no Green Glade now, no woodpeckers or deer but apartment blocks and a Lidl superstore! Apparently there are a few bits of forest left but such is progress................🙄
Mick. This mix is something I would have assembled. Thank you for reading the minds of us like minded folks!
This song reminds me so much of my time in the woods with my dog. So beautiful!
Brilliant singing and playing !! TOP !! Phalaïna
Wonderful to hear this again last night at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre last night, in Dublin...
Wasn't it great?! My daughter and I flew from the US to Dublin specifically for this concert. Still can't believe I was there and had the opportunity to hear live the four amazing musicians who created my favorite album. I'd say it was a dream come true, but it hadn't even been a dream because I'd never thought it could happen. The next day we had stew for lunch at O'Donoghue's. What an incredible time. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to reminisce about it!
@@diannesherryromano4629 I flew with some friends from Boston and seen them in Corks Opera theatre on the same tour!! Absolutely worth every penny. Fantastic experience!!!
@@tonymurray814 Thank you for the response! I think they were headed to Cork right after the Dublin concert! A big storm was coming in, as I recall. I can't wait to get back over!
Great song - not sure how many of us from the west of Europe have lived in a Romanian forest.
Magic! Andy's solo version of this is much better than Planxty's (and I love Planxty). Andy is GOD!
just shows what a great album was cold blow and the rainy night by planxty. so many classic recordings on it and very few of the old planxty popular tunes.....here you have lakes of ponchartrain, cold blow and the rainy night, johnny cope, p stands for paddy i suppose, green fields of canada, little drummer boy, baneasa`s green glade and wonderful instrumentals...
and great to have players like andy irvine, paul brady, donal lunney here, in top form.
The Bulgarian at tune at the end awesome as well.
Well, the mandolin and bouzouki are relatively recently "borrowed" instruments by Irish music - borrowed from Eastern and Southern Europe. Andy Irvine was one of those who drove this borrowing and he studied the original types of music they were designed to play.
@@sbreheny yeah and guess where Europe borrowed then from ? Africa
Jungle Ninja Ah, i see you’re one of those we wuz kangz types. Most of these instruments come from Mesopotamia, the birthplace of civilization. Nice try rewriting history to fit your afro-centrist narrative, though
Magic, I thought it was a Celtic traditionnal song, as i Herad their third album.
Some of their own compositions will be "Classics" of Irisch music someday.
With words like "zoo" in the text?
@@irateofwatford meaning what?
Ruairí Monophthalmos meaning that visiting a zoo wouldn’t typically be an activity in a traditional (as in, pre existing historical) song
Thanx that he was bred in Eire
Absolutely beautiful
Fuck! Never heard Andy before..was looking for Brady and came across this peach.
the pinnacle of what three men can achieve with stringed instruments
Mesmerising ....
Thanks bilko ! A wonderful composition, and a performance out of this world.
Ensorcelant. Quel talent ! Je suis admiratif
Respect from Morocco 🇲🇦
THE ALL TIME GREAT
Magic
total spiritual gold
living the life of a rover! great music
sounds of serenity
great music great music
Music is healing
another reason to love Irvine!
though I believe in his youth Băneasa forest might have looked a little nicer.
What a TREAT it is to hear Andy again. THANKS for posting this :)))
Magia
Three people is absolutely idiotic. This is masterful playing and soulful singing. That waldzither is an incredible instrument.
la grande classe, et c'est le passé qui renait sur la toile...
So lovely Thanks for the post gorgeous
Andy and Arthur at their peak as both performers and song writers / arrangers, ably assisted by Donal Lunny. Astonishing beautiful, exotic music. Even today Andy has lost none of his technical ability and voice. A credit to his art.
Pure Magic.
Great music and even better playing. Look, the instrument Andy is playing is a german waldzither or the so called german bouzuki. You can see that there are nine tuning screws on the machine head, but only eigth strings. So the c-string, it´s always a solo string ist missing.
Niece to see this great musician playing a waldzither.
cheers🤘
gyönyörű!
A fine companion to the studio version. I was impressed by this version. Things sound far more full-bodied, although I noticed he says 'We drank money free' when it should've been 'We spent money free'.
Since Andy wrote the song, I think he is free to take liberty with his lyrics.
Wow, the trifecta of fuckin awesome Irish accompaniment. Donal, Andy, and Paul. Sickening.
They scoured the set of "Night of the Living Dead" for that audience :)
Gorgeous
Hello Lizabeth.
How are you?
bilko you have done it again, amazing recording....thanks a million......i was reared on these recordings- they take me to another world
amazing!
OMG, this music is SO fantastic! You need that in the morning to start you up! The people attending this concert are SO paralyzed! 😅
@@johnnoonan4775 No: they're British… 😀 As for myself, first time I heard that song in the seventies made me jump from my seat and SCREAM! I used to listen to this every morning to jump-start me! 😀
…I guess I'm excitable…
For many years I believed this song was trad. Then I realized, only a few years ago, that it is contemporary and based on Andy's busking days in Romania! Pure genius…
Makes me feel like Dionysus.
Germán Villarroel Segundo , Dennis?
@@jack317 read a book ffs.
Qué maravilla !!!!!!!!!!!
paul brady is a bad ass guitar player.
Absolutely, I love watching his fingers dyring these videos, it looks like he's bending and pulling off super thick strings with perfect control and ease here
Pure fuckin magic, its like being in ireland, greece, hungary and morroco all at once
Awesome!!! love this ;-]
Magic! Andy is playing a Portugese 'guitarra', possibly the instrument that Johnny originally introduced into Irish music, (Irish bouzouki).
Actually, in this clip he's playing a Waldzither. They look very similar to a Portuguese guitar, as far as having the same body and same tuners (not all waldzithers have these preston tuners, but many do). You can tell it's a waldzither because it has 9 strings. Four double courses, and a single string on top. I am trying to find a nice one to be restored, so I can tune it GDAEB, with the G on the single lowest string. Portuguese guitars have 12 strings.
SirSelby
Thanks for that correction Sir, must admit I've never heard of a Waldzither (sounds German) but I used to own a 'guitarra' once. Didn't think of counting the tuners. As far as 'Not Totally Unfunny's' comment goes, having just read "The Humours of Planxty", I think the 'drank money free' may have been intentional, or a Freudian slip!
music hath charms to wake the dead!
Just genius.
Unreal.
Brilliant
yes.
Legendary
luv
