I have admired this man' music since the mid-1970s. Andy chooses great songs, sings them superbly and accompanies them creatively. The bouzouki backup here is incredible, beautifully tangential to the melody. I saw Andy a couple of times in Boston in the 1980s. He did not disappoint
Well, that's one way of looking at it, I guess. It misses the fact, though, that those good bold men did not stand to be fettered by convention or to be cowed by respect for thei "betters", who gave them the boot. Kicking them out was, in one way, a 'HAWNKIN' mistake!. In another, though, it was true serendipity. Lady Liberty saw their value and gave them the leg up that they deserved! They paid Her back, right and proper and, when the time came, forgave all and saved Englands' ass, THREE TIMES IN ONE CENTURY!. We will, in all likelihood, need to do so again. Londonistan, anyone?
Supreme artist . Super andy 👌 🇮🇪

Absolutely beautiful, just a knockout performance. Thank you so much for uploading
best song ever! trying to learn this on octave mandolin from this video
So loved you singing this last night in belfast. Did you not stay for a chat with us after the gig! Come back soon!
I saw him in person in l985 in Norfolk, Va, when he was playing with Patrick Street.
+Buck Lilli His playing is just lovely, such a wonderful performer...
I saw him in Dublin in the 1960s...we were all much younger...we were the future then!

He has really aged a lot since I saw him. So have I. But he is so great.
Great left hand...
nice one
No doubt, and his story telling and history of the song is great is great to have for the legacy.
