Pick a string! |
ANDY IRVINEI first met Andy back in 1976. We were both touring festivals in Europe that summer and ran into each other at the beautiful Lenzburg Folk Festival in Switzerland. Already there and then we felt we could communicate musically. Andy with his Irish bouzouki and Balkan odd time figures, me with my Norwegian 9 string Hardanger fiddle and my songs in a language as well understood internationally as Gaelic... And a common admiration for Woody Guthrie! We didn't really rush things. Andy was constantly travelling around the globe and if he happened to be in Europe I would be in the US. It took 17 years before we met in Dublin to rehearse for our first concert together!
