ANDY IRVINE

Andrew Kennedy "Andy" Irvine  is an Irish folk musician, singer-songwriter, and a founding member of popular bands Sweeney's Men,Planxty, Patrick Street, Mozaik, LAPD and Usher's Island. He plays the mandolin, mandola, bouzouki, harmonica and, occasionally, the hurdy-gurdy.

Irvine has been influential in folk music for over five decades, during which he recorded a large repertoire of songs and tunes he assembled from books, folk-song collectors and old recordings rooted in the Irish, English, Scottish, Eastern European, Australian and American old-time and folk traditions. He sets these songs to new music and writes songs about his personal experiences or about the lives and struggles of his heroes: Michael Davitt, Mary Harris "Mother" Jones, Douglas Mawson, Raoul Wallenberg, Emiliano Zapata, among others.

Imbued with a sense of social justice, Irvine often selects or writes songs that are based on historical events and presented from the victim's perspective.  Some of these songs chronicle the abject living and working conditions imposed on groups of people: the emigrants; the brutalized migrant workers; the exploited textile strikers or coalminers. Other songs recall the archetypal experiences of single individuals: the woman seduced by an unfaithful man or disowned by her father; the destitute young man ostracized or murdered on the order of his sweetheart’s rich father; the down-on-his-luck farmer or the unemployed worker; the young man inveigled by the army's recruiting sergeant; the scapegoats. Irvine's songs also denounce worker deaths and industrial diseases, and lament the plight of hunted animals. His repertoire includes humorous songs, but also bittersweet ones of unrequited love, or of lovers cruelly separated or dramatically reunited. He also sings about famous racehorses, men or women masquerading in various disguises, a fantastical fox preying on young maidens, and the violent lives of outlaws.

As a child actor, Irvine honed his performing talent from an early age and learned the classical guitar. He switched to folk music after discovering Woody Guthrie, also adopting the latter’s other instruments: harmonica and mandolin. While extending Guthrie’s guitar picking technique to the mandolin,  he further developed his playing of this instrument—and, later, of the mandola and the bouzouki—into a decorative, harmonic style  and embraced the modesand rhythms of Bulgarian folk music. Along with Johnny Moynihan and Dónal Lunny, Irvine is one of the pioneers who adapted the Greek bouzouki—with a new tuning—into an Irish instrument. He contributed to advancing the design of his instruments in cooperation with English luthier Stefan Sobell, and he also plays a hurdy-gurdy made for him in 1972 by Peter Abnett, another English luthier.

Although touring mainly as a soloist, Irvine has also enjoyed great success in pursuing collaborations through many projects that have influenced contemporary folk music, with performers such as Paul Brady, Kevin Burke, Jackie Daly, Dick Gaughan, Dónal Lunny, Matt Molloy, Christy Moore, Liam O'Flynn, Davy Spillane and Bill Whelan, among others. He continues to tour and perform extensively in Ireland, Great Britain, Europe, North and South America, Japan,Australia and New Zealand
