Andy Irvine @ éistmusic

Sometimes, but only very seldom, mind you, something appears in the space between performer and audience. Something you can't put your finger on, but something that definitely puts its finger on you. When this happens, the space is blown away, and artist and audience are united in an aura that sends shivers up your spine. The power, the magic, of great live music. Those of us privileged to hear two incredible performances by Andy Irvine over the week-end at éistmusic, a great new music club in Portlaoise, will remember the experience for a long time.
