Planxty and The Bothy Band lifted Traditional Irish, Scottish and English folk music to a new level that we mostly take for granted today. Great to hear them again.

[@ijstock]

It was so good to be there in Belfast!

[@sylviederelle237]

So True! The Bothy Band and Planxty are my favorites Irish bands ever!

[@nbenefiel]

I lived in Dublin all through the 70’s. I’ll never forget the first time I saw Planxty. They did Raggle Taggle Gypsy/ Tur dom da lambh ( sic), the entire room jumped to our feet at the segue. It was iconic.

[@BevWhelanMusic]

The best band of all time. I saw them live in Manchester in 1979, and in Glasgow January 2024. I have lived and breathed their music for over 45 years. Such a huge influence on my own playing. Thank you Bothy Band! X

[@WHISTLEPEG]

OMG what Thank you for sharing a reunion of one of the most influentual and talented group of musicians.

[@mikesmithwick1570]

After all these years, I saw them first in 1977, they still create some of the most exciting music I've ever heard!

[@nbenefiel]

I lived in Dublin for most of the 70’s, while studying at UCD. We went to concerts most weekends. If there wasn’t one, we’d all go down to O’Donoghues and catch the session, a couple of dozen musicians playing great music. It was a magical time for Irish music.

[@DromardMusic]

This music changed my life. ❤️❤️❤️

[@jimcunningham5092]

The best Irish band of any genre of music in my lifetime. Looking forward to seeing them in NCH in August for the first time since 1976 or 77.

[@jm123456789101112]

This is so fantastic to see these wonderful musicians playing together again. It’s only bittersweet for me because Mícheál Ó Domhnaill has left us and is not here for this. But I know he’s smiling down on all of this from up above… ❤

[@clairefoxgloves4824]

Yes he would be, God bless him and he'd be so delighted the band are still together and raising the roof!!!

[@mariesprayberry4139]

Thank God and TG4 that we are getting to hear these legends again this side of the Pearly Gates. (As always, deep respect to Micheal and Tommy on the other side. And Sean Og Graham does the best possible job of filling Micheal's role here.)

[@robguttridge6591]

It is so lovely to see them playing together again!

[@peterjames2580]

I heard the saying, "Round the house, Mind the Dresser" What joy this music is.

[@seamussionnach4592]

The musicians may age. But the music is as fresh as the day it was written 👍🏻

[@mactcampbell]

After all these years, they still have it. I'm willing to wager that they didn't even have to rehearse for it.

[@kevq.2687]

Hope they come out with at least one live album. This was one my father's most beloved bands growing up!

[@fiberfancies]

Wow! So good to see you all playing again!

[@tomsampson8084]

I grew up with this music as a teen in the '70's. I met a couple of these lads when they were with other groups back in the day. Great memories.

[@josephinemarsh2044]

Looking forward to seeing the documentary. It was brilliant to hear them live at this concert. Powerful music and musicians. 🎶

[@portesduverseau]

Still so young ! Great to see those legends, thanks so much !

[@merri-toddwebster2473]

What a delight to come across this! I've listened to their music on vinyl, CD, and streaming, and now here they are recorded live.

[@Kitchen_Sessions]

I still have their albums. Slainte!

[@clairefoxgloves4824]

Me toooo!!!

[@clairefoxgloves4824]

WOW!!! Still as brilliant as ever and able make the energy of the tune go into orbit and round the sun a couple of times!!! Was a wonderful surprise while I was browsing some Irish Trad Music on U Tube, got bored and tapped in some old Bothy Band tracks to cheer me up, and then.. what joy !! a recent special performance just popped up and it was literally a life transforming experience!! Up to date Bothy Band playing like a hurricane, just like the old days!! I dusted off my whistle and joined in!! (Used to play long ago!) Thank you Bothy Band, so great to see you again and I am musically recharged and inspired to play again!! Keep playing....you're treasured!! And simply the Best!!

[@abinlp]

This is awe inspiring. To see the remaining living members all gathered together, musical legends. I've been lucky enough to catch both Paddy and Kevin Burke performing in Michigan over the last few years. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@wotzupdoc1]

They are like an Irish Buena Vista Social Club! Legends. Pure talent. Inspirational.

[@conormccarthy8437]

Except that each member of the bothy band went on to enjoy a lifetime of national and international success.

[@caseyhooper4779]
