FOLK LEGEND Andy Irvine will be taking to the stage at Bromsgrove Folk Club.

The event will take place at 8pm on Thursday, April 12, at Catshill Club.

Andy has been described as one of the great Irish singers. He is considered a world music pioneer and an icon for traditional music and musicians.

Irvine is an archetypal troubadour with a show and a travelling lifestyle that reflect his lifelong influence, Woody Guthrie.




His repertoire consists of Irish traditional songs, dexterous Balkan dance tunes and a compelling cannon of his own self-penned songs.

Andy has played concerts in Moscow, Mexico City, Newfoundland, Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua as well as undertaking extensive tours of Japan, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Argentina and Chile.


As well as being an integral part of the ‘finest Irish bands of our time’, Andy has a vibrant career as a solo artist in the old style, a teller of tales and maker of music.

Admission prices for the gig are £9 for members (£4.50 under 25) and visitors, who are always more than welcome, £12.
