Classic Album: Andy Irvine & Paul Brady
Wednesday 30th January 2008, 7.30pm
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Auditorium
Please Note: This is a past event event.
Continuing the Classic Album strand of concerts launched at Celtic Connections last year, we are proud to revisit a true landmark in Irish music, the self-titled duo recording released by Andy Irvine and Paul Brady in 1976.
More than three decades on, their versions of such songs as ‘Loch Erne Shore’ and ‘Arthur McBride’ remain definitive, while Brady’s brilliantly innovative guitar work, a pioneering blend of flatpicking and fingerstyle techniques, has spawned legions of imitators. The album showed Andy Irvine as a very powerful artist in his own right, and set the base for a long and impressive solo career.
Besides the choice of material and calibre of musicianship, what sets the album apart is the blend of freshness and sensitivity in its alignment of voices and instrumental textures, which set new benchmarks for interpreting traditional material.
