October 21, 2001





















Paul Brady
Andy Irvine
Liam og O'Flynn
Donal Lunny
Paddy Glackin
Noel Hill

This was quite an emotional bringing together of all these musicians for the first time since July 21st 1978. The audience was equally aware of the significance of the event and the atmosphere and reaction was amazing. This
was not just a trip down memory lane however, but six really tight exciting gigs where the musical quotient was very high. The opening set featured Liam, Donal, Paddy and Noel playing selections of tunes together. Then the second half featured a repeat of the 1978 gig even down to the running order which was the same. Two brilliant additions to the set were songs from Andy Irvine, 'Martinmas Time' from the 1976 'Andy Irvine and Paul Brady' album and 'The West Coast Of Clare' from Andy's Planxty repertoire.
