Patrick Street is an Irish folk group founded by Kevin Burke (formerly of The Bothy Band) on fiddle, Andy Irvine (Sweeney's Men, Planxty) on mandolin, bouzouki, harmonica and vocals, Jackie Daly (De Dannan) on button accordion, and Arty McGlynn (Van Morrison) on guitar. Other members were added at various times: Ged Foley (The House Band, Battlefield Band) who held the tenure on guitar for many years, Bill Whelan on keyboards, Declan Masterson on uilleann pipes and keyboards, James Kelly on fiddle, Brendan Hearty on harmonium and John Carty on fiddle, flute and banjo. Dónal Lunny, Whelan and Enda Walsh joined as producers on some albums. ==History== In 1985, Andy Irvine joined up with fiddler Kevin Burke and guitarist Mícheál Ó Domhnaill (who had been gigging together around America for some time) and toured as a trio in the USA; when Ó Domhnaill wasn't available for some of the dates, guitarist/vocalist Gerry O'Beirne stepped in.〔''Street Cred'', in ''Folk Roots'' No.66, December 1988.〕 "This tour was such fun and so successful that we decided to expand the outfit into a four-piece by adding Jackie Daly", Irvine wrote.〔(Andy Irvine's autobiography – Part 10. ) Retrieved on 26 March 2015〕 Originally billed on a 1986 American tour as "The Legends of Irish Music", they soon chose to call themselves Patrick Street.〔 The line-up for the band underwent several changes, but always included Burke, Irvine and Daly. The guitar role, however, passed: *from O'Beirne to Arty McGlynn – before the recording of their first album, ''Patrick Street'', which began in August 1986;〔Sleeve notes from ''Patrick Street'', Green Linnet SIF 1071, 1986.〕 *from McGlynn to Ged Foley – after the band recorded their fourth album, ''All in Good Time'', released in 1993;〔Sleeve notes from ''The Best of Patrick Street'', NECTAR NTMCD503, 1995.〕 *back to McGlynn – when they resumed touring after the completion of their ninth album, ''On the Fly'', released in 2007.〔''Patrick Street – On the Fly'', Loftus Music LM002, 2007.〕 After Daly retired from Patrick Street, John Carty joined on fiddle, flute and tenor banjo in time to record ''On the Fly''.〔Sleeve notes from ''Patrick Street – On the Fly'', Loftus Music LM002, 2007.〕 Originally agreed to as a part-time band, they have nevertheless recorded eight studio albums together, plus one live album (''Live from Patrick Street'') and two compilations (''The Best of Patrick Street'' and ''Compendium: The Best of Patrick Street''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patrick Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
