Great stuff lads. You were the musical backcloth of my youth. I had the great privilege of playing with Dónal once - the high point of my musical career! Gentlemen and scholars, both of you.
In 1968 I was with a band called the Clouds from Downpatrick and once we were playing in the Stella in Dublin. We decided to go for a pint in Donahues just to see the famous pub where the Dubliners played. No luck we were asked to leave......the reason? Long hair. Couldn't believe it.
It was several years ago. Well, perhaps many years ago. Thought I saw Andy Irvine and Donald Lonnie playing in Charleston, South Carolina. I am very happy to State that I will add to my bucket list a trip to Ireland this June. The whole purpose is to listen to the music that I love so well!😊
My 20 year old daughter, Cedar Dobson, is a student at Pulse College in Dublin and is doing a research project on Donal Lunny. She will be contacting him this week to see if she can interview him. A dream come true for my daughter, as she is a trad musician from California meeting her idols in Ireland. Love to you both, Andy and Donal.
Oh, it's so good to hear you boys still singing and playing. You have have lost nothing of your presence, great story-telling and awesome musicianship!
The quality of these two legends and this performance is just beyond belief. It makes me so happy to see them together like this, and also so sad that we are not able to experience it live. Thank you for recording and sharing.
You two have fed my soul for so many years and I am so lucky to have seen you together and separately over the years. You are the best....love and best wishes to you Andy and Donal...xxx
In the end Andy referred to the lack of a real audience as a result of worldwide measures to fight for fewer Covid-related deaths in these mid-pandemic times . There may not have been much of a physical human presence in the studio but they must rest assured the songs these giants of music played and sung, resonated . They touched a lot of souls around the world. As Andy's an Donal's voices mature they become more poignant. What a relief and energy when hearing their songs now! I Thank and applaud you Donal and Andy. Simply beautiful!
As a young man growing up, I always remember my father playing songs from Planxty, Dubs, Wolfetones, Dick Gaughan, Chieftains, Christy Moore, Paul Brady etc. Always thought it was annoying, then as I grew into the traditional Scottish/Irish/Trad loving 38 year old man that I am today, enjoying it, I thought I'd take my dad to Andy Irvine a couple of years ago, and he fell asleep. 🤣
Fantastic to discover this by chance. Two of Irish music's greatest heroes. Each of these wonderful songs is like a true friend you've known for decades and can always turn to for reflection, nostalgia, solace, warmth or good craic. Thanks, you rambling boys of pleasure, for this great gift that uplifts the spirit and warms the heart in strange, lonely times.
you know you're getting old when you remember stuff from Andy Irvine's Song about the Dubliners. Being part of the Irish Folk Wave in Germany in 1973/74, with Micho Russell and the Furey Bros, I will never forget Luke Kelly bringing a champagne flute full of Whiskey on the stage and had it down after the first song. Legends, all of them!
An infinite hands clap and thanks to you Irish heroes...your music and your persons will stay by me till my last go...an health where ever you might be
Andy's vocals on "Autumn Gold" blow me away. This is a song I haven't listened to in a very long time, but when the record came out I played it probably 10 times a day (having been a teenager then), so I know it in and out. His voice/phrasing sounds unchanged.
I’d not heard several of these numbers done as musical duets like this. Really liked it! It must be very for performers like Andy and Donal to give a top performance to a basically empty venue like this. Let’s hope it’s not long before the audiences are back, post covid.

These two men are in their seventies nowadays and still wonderful musicians. They are masters of their craft.
Remember seeing these wonderful musicians when Planxty had a gig in Spiddal in 1972
Fabulous, beautiful music. Playing full of wonder played with freedom and imagination.

I wish this got more views. Such talent.. R.I.P Liam O 🇮🇪
the blacksmith 😍
Such a wonderful Irish song by Dónal!
Zwei der Besten.
Just love the two men. Wonderful musicians! All time heroes of mine when it comes to Irish music.
Amazing 🎶🎶🎶🍺

Donal Lunny; went to the Dunny and played it on Bazouki!...lol.;-)
The voice so familiar. The beat too. Lovely lyrics, be God where have the years gone?
Praise the Lord for these amazing souls who express so much of life's bittersweet longing for heaven.
Oh, it's so good to hear you boys still singing and playing. You have have lost nothing of your presence, great story-telling and awesome musicianship!
Two of the greatest.
Yeah, and Paul Brady too!

I 1st heard Planxty in 1979..and I enjoy your music more than ever...a sure inspiration...❤
Gratitude to the both of you and for keeping the torch lit so we all are able to listen to the essence of what this music holds. 🍀❤
This beautiful music, these wonderful musicians - it somehow has something healing listening to this.
You two have fed my soul for so many years and I am so lucky to have seen you together and separately over the years. You are the best....love and best wishes to you Andy and Donal...xxx

"mid pandemic times"? What kind of nonsense are you talking?

LOL
He was into rap by then. ☺

I remember them both from there young days in Planxty. Go hiontach, go raibh míle maith agat.

Great set. By two great legends.
Wonderful to come upon this by accident...'for I am young and the world is wide' ..does me in.
Thankyou Andy and Donal... great to see you playing together in strange times..

Absolutely stunning music!
Reminds me of my darling Daddy and John my cousin who introduced me to the music of Planxtey
Thank you so much. So very beautiful
Brilliant music. Brilliant musicians!

👏🤩🤩👏
Does anybody know the name of the song that starts at 6:00
What’s the second song, the one that Dónal sings? Shoney River? I can’t make out all the lyrics.
Of course you can't, he is singing in his native language - Irish Gaelic. English or American is not the first language of most people in the world.
