Andy Irvine's soundtrack to a road trip

Andy Irvine recorded his new album while camping in the Outback, says Gerry Quinn.

FOLK musician, Andy Irvine, has called his latest album Parachilna, after a country town in south Australia. It is a collaboration with Rens Van Der Zalm, of the band, Mozaik, and was recorded during a road-trip through the Outback in the bitter winter of July 2012.

The ten tracks were recorded in historic woolsheds, shearers’ quarters and abandoned schoolhouses.
