Patrick Street – Patrick Street

Formed as a traditional supergroup in the mid-1980s, Patrick Street brought together four veteran virtuosos whose musical instincts aligned seamlessly. Kevin Burke's smooth Sligo fiddle style pairs naturally with Jackie Daly's crisp Sliabh Luachra button accordion, creating an endlessly swinging melodic weave. Backed by Arty McGlynn's pioneering flatpicked acoustic guitar and Andy Irvine's bouzouki, mandolin and vocal storytelling, the record balances spirited polkas and jigs with poignant social ballads.
