The legendary Andy Irvine in Philadelphia.
We had an embarrassment of musical riches this week in Irish Philadelphia. Teada’s Oisin MacDiarmada was in Coatesville, Winifred Horan and Mick McAuley of Solas with friend and occasional bandmate, Colm O’Caoimh, played a house concert in Ambler, and the legendary Andy Irvine of Planxty and Patrick Street, helped christen the new Philadelphia home of musicians Gabriel Donohue and Marian Makins.
And we were there. We brought back a few photos but, more important for you, loads of videos so you can have a “in our own house” concert. It’s not as much fun as actually being there, but it will have to do.
