Well you could be right - I had the story from Andy Irvine's mouth, back when I was his agent in the US. That must have been almost 18 years ago now. I must have forgotten how fast time flies. Nancy Am 07.12.2017 um 00:18 schrieb Nancy Carlin : yes, very

Time for a stray thought? Maybe. I’ve always wondered if by combining a guitar, flute/penny whistle, violin, bass and bazouki/mandolin — sometimes all, sometimes less — there wasn’t a subconscious effort to recreate the English broken consort? Even in blue grass bands one gets something of the
