Thread Name: What Was It About The Bothy Band?
Subject: RE: What Was It About The Bothy Band?
What made the Bothy Band Special? Killer players, killer arrangements, well-chosen sets of tunes, awesome live appearences(nobody could follow the Bothies on stage...not even electric bands). Most irish bands will say the say thing...there will never be anything like them again!!! If proof be needed, listen to the 'Rip The Callico' set or the first album...and marvel. pjc ps I witnessed over 300 live Bothy live gigs as I was on the road with them for three years of their all too brief professional life.
