original bothy band info
in the three years the Bothy Band were together, they emerged as one of the exciting bands in Celtic history. Although much of their repertoire was rooted in the traditional music of Ireland, their enthusiasm and musical virtuosity set off ripples that continue to be felt. The genesis of the Bothy Band was sparked in 1975 when bouzouki player Dónal Lunny left Planxty to form his own record company, Mulligan. One of his first projects brought him together with uillean piper Paddy Keenan, flute and whistle player Matt Molloy, fiddler Paddy Glackin, and accordion player Tony MacMahon. The group was soon joined by siblings Mícháel Ó Domhnaill on acoustic guitar and Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill on clavinet and vocals. Hailing from a musical family, with their aunt having contributed 286 songs to the Dublin University folklore collection, the two had previously performed, along with their sister Maighread, in the traditional Irish group Skara Brae. Initially calling themselves Seachtar, which translates as "seven," the group reformed as the Bothy Band after MacMahon left to become a BBC producer. The band's debut came on February 2, 1975, when they performed at Trinity College in Dublin. Despite their great legacy, the Bothy Band only recorded three studio albums: The Bothy Band, Old Hag You Have Killed Me, and Out of the Wind Into the Sun. A live album, After Hours, released in 1979, was recorded at the Palace des Arts in Paris. In 1995, a second live album, Live in Concert, was released that included tracks recorded in London by the BBC at the Pares Theater in July 1976 and the Kilburn National Theater in July 1978.
After hours tribute info by kane o'rourke
I've had a near life long dream of of recreating the magnificent live act that was the bothy band. The live album 'afterhours' was such an inspiration to me and after hearing it vowed never to give up traditional music.
After performing gigs with Alan burke, myself and alan always talked of doing a tribute to the bothy band because of Mícháel Ó Domhnaill being a huge influence in his music and Kevin Burke being a personal hero of mine, with the amazing coincidence of being both from charlton, south london, and going to the same school as each other.
The idea would was to have musicians that were influenced like myself and Alan to there respected counterparts in The Bothy Band. So i'll will run down the list of performers in 'After hours' The Bothy Band tribute that will be playing at our debut gig at the Open House festival gig 25th september
