		Andy is like an old friend. I’ve known his unique voice for so long — from Sweeney’s Men to Planxty, from his duo with Paul Brady to his solo performances. His singing is pure emotion. His playing is both delicate and energetic. Andy invented the interlaces of bouzouki, mandolin and mandola in Irish music.
		Andy Irvine’s live solo performance was informative, witty, intense, full of a love for the music, which he transmitted to the audience with an honesty that only the truly committed can attain.
		Andy Irvine’s solo stage show is a musical travelogue through time and space. His right hand dexterity on bouzouki was nothing short of amazing.

	Compass Records, Nashville, Tennessee
		First envisioned by venerable vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Andy Irvine (Planxty, Patrick Street), Mozaik is the ultimate global stringband—a truly international ensemble who can not only perform music from a wide array of cultures, but interweave their myriad influences into an entirely new sound.
		Irvine and van der Zalm first met in Slovenia in 1969 and the two had toured together on and off ever since, finding uncanny common ground between Irish and Dutch traditions.
		Irvine’s initial burst of inspiration realized itself as a major new cross cultural collaboration, and – fortunately for the ages – several shows from that legendary first tour were recorded.

	Andy Irvine on Appleseed
		Lyrically, Andy continues to write or adapt songs of political and social awareness such as "Gladiators" (about the industrial Workers of the World "the Wobblies") and their fight against conscription in Australia during World War I, "Born in Carrickfergus" (about Ireland's religious troubles), and "Moreton Bay" (a convict ballad from the early 19th century).
		The lighter, more traditional side of Andy's music is heard on "The Girl I Left Behind", his whimsical medley of "They'll Never Believe It's True", "Froggy's Jig", and a gorgeously stirring performance of the classic poem "The Highway man" (which sports an arrangement recently created by Loreena McKennitt, the Canadian singer and harpist).
		Irvine has long followed his own precarious but rewarding mission -- to preserve Irish traditional music without embalming it; to expand that tradition without distorting it; to use songs old and new to celebrate life's good times and remind us of the world's dangers, past and ever-present.

	Scotsman.com Sport - Twenty great rugby players - Andy Irvine
		Irvine first played for Scotland against New Zealand in 1972 and for a time there was debate over whether he was secure enough in defence to occupy the full-back berth, and he was played on the wing.
		While it's true that he was not the greatest defensive player, the selectors soon came to their senses, realizing that Irvine’s unique attacking qualities were best realized from the deeper position.
		Irvine had fantastic speed, with that incredible change of pace and acceleration, and he could beat a defender on either side.

		And when you think of the original members of Planxty -- yourself Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny, Christy Moore, Liam O'Flynn -- as well as the legacy of the band, the individuals have gone on to make quite an impression upon the music.

		Only the fact that Scotland's matches against France had traditionally gone the way of the home side - although the French had won in Edinburgh on their last visit in 1978 - gave any reason to believe that the miserable sequence would come to an end.
		Andy Irvine's missed conversion was the first of a series of attempts at goal that failed to find the target and the Heriot's FP full-back came under pressure from the unsettled crowd, who called for him to be replaced as kicker.
		Facing his most difficult kick of what had been an unsuccessful afternoon with the boot, Irvine finally found his range and Scotland were back within one score of the French, trailing 10-14.

	CLUAS Indie Gig Reviews: Andy Irvine in Whelan's
		While Whelan's is a nice, snug venue for a performer such as Andy Irvine, the tight seating immediately in front of the stage makes the stools at the back provide a more sensible and equally advantageous view - as well as being closer to the bar...

		Andy Irvine is Ireland’s Woody Guthrie, with a philosopher’s ear and a prophet’s passionate voice. He is also a stunning singer and instrumentalist who weaves melody and texture, harmony and rhythm, into a rich tapestry of present and past.
		Irvine occupies a unique place in the musical world, plying his trade as archetypal troubadour, with a solo show and traveling lifestyle that reflects his lifelong influence, Woody Guthrie. Few others can equal his repertoire, Irish traditional songs, dexterous Balkan dance tunes, and a compelling canon of his own material that defies description.
