“Andy Irvine is a tradition in himself” - Irish Press
“Andy is like an old friend. I’ve known his unique voice for so long – from Sweeney’s Men to Planxty, from his duo with Paul Brady to his solo performances.
“His singing is pure emotion. His playing is both delicate and energetic. Andy invented the interlaces of bouzouki, mandolin and mandola in Irish music. He’s often been mimicked, but never equalled.
“Andy Irvine is Woody Guthrie’s representative on earth.” - Hot Press
