Kings of Folk

Two legends of folk music, Andy Irvine and Dick Gaughan, play Whelans this Wednesday. Irvine, veteran of bands such as Planxty and Sweeney's Men and Gaughan, prolific Scottish folk and protest singer, perform together for the first time since the release of their 1983 album, Parallel Lines. It could quite possibly be the most important and most excellent folk gig since Planxty's 2004 reunion tour.

I'm going to be yelling for these songs all night.
