Patrick Street

Comprised of some of Ireland's most accomplished musicians, Patrick Street initially launched in the mid-'80s as a one-off touring ensemble before consolidating into a powerhouse Celtic group that released eight studio albums and one live set. Its three primary members, Kevin Burke (fiddle), Andy Irvine (vocals, bouzouki), and Jackie Daly (accordion), have remained constants throughout the band's existence, with numerous other veteran players joining their ranks, both on tour and in the studio. For most of their first two decades together, Patrick Street were staples of the Green Linnet label, releasing acclaimed albums like Irish Times (1990) and All in Good Time (1993). After 2007's On the Fly, they remained a live act for several more years.
