Andy Irvine: One Midsummer's Day - The Ireland Podcast 

Yeah, Andy explains the background to the song here: www.salthillmedia.com/theirelandpodcast/episode/9c8605f2/31-andy-irvine-bonus-extra-one-midsummers-day

I didn't ask Andy that specifically - I should have! - but I am pretty sure it's a bouzouki. When Andy pulled it from the case I had to double check it as I thought it was a guitar. Later that evening Andy was playing his gig in Limerick and I could see him switch between this and his smaller Mandola. I'll quiz him about his instruments next time. 😉 Sláinte, Fender

@@TheIrelandPodcast Thanks - I have a Mando but my fingers are a bit fat for it these days

@@chrisbowler3251 Keep at it. There are people with larger fingers playing mandolin I am sure. 😉

It's a guitar bodied bouzouki

@@BlackVelvetIL That makes perfect sense. Thank you 👍
