Last year Krebs came to my town and I was so happy to go. During the break while selling stuff I asked him "Which of these do you suggest for someone who's a complete fool for the Bothy Band?" He suggested one and I got it and 3 others and gave him the rest as a tip. He went to call me back for the change. But I winked and tilt him "Happy Birthday.". It made me feel so good because I'm so poor and he's so worth it. During the last half of the set he played me a Bothy Band song. Sentimental me cried. Within 2 weeks he announced the reunion. Just to see them together again fills my heart and soul 💙😘 Thank you for this video.

Never having seen them at the height of their fame, I had the pleasure of seeing them play in Belfast in April. They were superb.

Playing from music? Oh dear, don't they know their tunes? No other Irish band or group that I have ever seen would ever descend to playing from written music. Also, a decent bodhran player would help. Not impressed.

I worked for Ceoltas, and all learner musicians were taught to read. It is the quickest way to learn the bones of the tunes. As far as I know all the members of the Chieftains were readers. You do not have to read, but it is a great bonus. You know the old joke, the best way to play the bodhran is with a penknife.

They’re not playing from music and they definitely know their tunes. These are some of the best traditional musicians in the country. It’s been more than forty years since they played together, so I imagine they needed a few prompts and reminders.

One of the first sets i learned on flute over 40 years ago. Must have been out of my mind, but I still play it to this day with joy. Matt set me on the right path.

There was a group called 'Toss the feathers ' playing in Manchester in the Eighties. I saw at the 32 Club. Brilliant mix of trad and rock.

They had the right mix of loose organisation leaving space for individual expression. When ever I feel down I put on 'Best of ' and I cheer up. Love to you all

The sound is badly engineered especially the to The Sailor's bonnet at the end. It's like as if the soundman didn't know which musicians were taking the lead. I seen this happen in live situations before. I'm going to see them later on this year and I hope to hear better. It might be the last chance to see and hear the best.

The first act I ever present was in 1979 in Corvallis Oregon, It was Kevin Burke and Micheal O Domhnaill . They were also the first act I presented in Tucson in the early 1980's.. I have been in touch with Kevin ever since and I knew that this reunion was coming, with Sean taking Micheal's place.... Anyone know who is the second fiddler?

This is the tune that made me fall in love with the Bothy Band in the first place---and it's amazing to hear the way it comes out almost 50 years later. Love to all of you: Donal, Triona, Matt, Paddy, Paddy, Kevin, and (for Micheal) Sean. And RIP Micheal and Tommy, as always.

A very long time ago, I borrowed their first l.p. from a friend . I was staggered and since then the Bothy Band has defined my taste for Irish folk. With this reunion things for me have come full circle
