A great band! Both of their CDs are absolute gems. I wish they would tour in the US.

A yes, Andy M. Irvine. I remember him well.

Didn't he used to sing with the Silly Planxty band?

Yes, it was Andy who put the angst in Planxty!

Mozaik are smashing - go and see them!

Actually, it was Christy Moore who said it originally. Credit where credit is due.

Ah, Christy Moore! I remember him well.
Wasn't he in My Left Foot?

There's an eastern European/Klezmer tune on that first recording on my "to learn" list, along with I think it's Black Jack Grove.    Some day I hope they come over the pond.
