An Bothy Band | TG4 

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.

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

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… ❤

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

This music changed my life. ❤️❤️❤️

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

It is so lovely to see them playing together again!

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.

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

the sheer mad joy of it.....

The Green Groves of Erin and the Flowers of Red Hill.

Lost nothing with the passing years , drives along with gusto and inbred finesse, they should make another album to continue the magic.

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!!

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

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.

Ha!!!whaaaa!!! That'd have to been honest the greatest stuff gutta ever know of this!!!??

Amazing blessed. Formidable Wonderfull. Thanks❤❤❤❤

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

Thank you Gavin for this. I've been trying to learn this one for last couple days by ear but found most vids too fast. You're clear and nice playing has helped me learn it. Cheers.

Sounding mightier than ever!

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.)

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.

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

Is the new documentary about the Bothy Band available to watch online? If so, can you please add the link to the video description above so the group's fans will know how/where to watch it?

Iconic sound. Thanks for posting

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.

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

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

Most of my musical idols playing together once again - that was a hell of a hooley - Aris le do thoil!!! 👏👏👏

Sweet sweet sweet ... such great memories

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

It's so nice to see everyone together again. The only thing missing is Mícheál Ó Domhnaill, his magnificent voice and brilliant guitar playing... 💔😢😞

Still lethal, Baby!

Clip of the century! This one and last one.

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.

Why not to publish a live recording?!? Even in streaming...

Rock and roll

They sound just as amazing as always!

Goosebumps.

Love
