Patrick Street are considered an Irish supergroup, whose musical heritage dates straight back to The Bothy Band (Kevin Burke) and Planxty (Andy Irvine).
Their recent album “On the Fly” marks the Patrick Street debut of respected multi-instrumentalist John Carty. Many of the band’s new tunes are rooted in the rhythmic ebb and flow of the swift, rolling rural music of County Sligo music on which both Carty and Kevin Burke were raised. Now considered two of the finest fiddlers of their generations, they team up for some thrilling sets of tunes, alongside the bouzouki & vocal of Planxty veteran Andy Irvine and the guitar of Ged Foley.
