Grew up in Limerick in the70s listening to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Groundhogs, Cream, John Mayall and more.  My father was always giving out to me about it.  For two reasons, they were loud and they were English.  One day I’m in my bedroom listening to Planxty, the ould fella pops his head around the door.  “Who’s dat? “He says.  “Planxty,” says I.  “A quare name for a band, “he says and fecks off up to the pub.  He never complained about my music again after that.  God rest your soul Dad.

Liam O Flynn's uileann piping is scary, it speaks to the soul of any Irishman.

RIP Liam. The best of the best.

It was in 1974 "my" recordshop told me he had something special for me. I listended to the first notes and I still know the feeling I had when I went home with "Cold blow and a rainy night". It was a treasure and Irish music has never left me during the rest of my life. Everythime I hear Planxty, the same feeling overwhelms me.
You've done a great job, showing people to the right music. Thanks a million!

Four men who produced magic

They are  transcending, I didn't want the music to stop. If I ever doubted I was Irish, I just found out that I truly am. Listening to them play is the music i hear in my heart of hearts.
God Bless ya!!!

Hard to believe that 44 deef eejits disliked this.

He;s gone, but weren't we lucky as fuck to have him.

RIP dear Liam.

A proper introduction. my most favorite folk band of all time, God bless them all with the most brilliant musical talents which have cost me over 76 pairs of fine leather shoes dancing to their music over those many years

I love how well played their jigs are. It's absolutely amazing.

i love their expressions while they play, utter confidence

I first heard this song in the 2000’s and loved it! I can’t believe I found it again, this brings me so much joy ❤

Andy Irvine was born in London to an Irish mother and Scottish father. There you go.
