Patrick Street, the original Irish supergroup, began when four
recognized masters - fiddler Kevin Burke of the Bothy Band, singer/
bouzouki player Andy Irvine of Planxty, fiddler Jackie Daly of De
Dannan), and multi-instrumentalist Ged Foley of the Battlefield Band
- joined forces for what they expected to be a one-off tour in 1986.
More than twenty years later, theyre still going strong. In the
band’s current lineup, Burke’s highly ornamented Sligo fiddle,
Irvine’s unforgetable voice and intricate bouzouki, and Foley’s
inventive guitar are joined by John Carty’s inimitable banjo. Now as
ever, Patrick Street represents the spirit and sensibility of Irish
music at its best.
"With the relaxed grace of masters, Patrick Street use their
breathtaking virtuosity to display this ancient music at its wild and
humble best." - The Boston Globe
"An overall joy...Irish traditional music performed with fervor and
fidelity." - Irish Echo
"With the possible exception of the Chieftains, there’s no better
Celtic music group in the world right now than Patrick Street!" - The
Washington Post
