Live review: Andy Irvine: He 'brought the house down'

Andy Irvine at the Triskel (as part of Cork Folk Festival) - 4/5

The first gig of Cork Folk Festival saw the high king and high queens of Irish folk music, Andy Irvine, and Tríona and Maighread Ní Dhomhnaill, take to the stage at Triskel Christchurch.

First up, the Ní Dhomhnaill sisters took us on a harmonious journey to Gaoth Domhair, Tory Island, and also to Cahersiveen for a beautiful rendition of a song their mother, from Doneraile, loved dearly, ‘(The Boys of) Barr Na Sráide’.
