Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Baneasa's Green Glade
Andy actually performed this with Paul Brady at Celtic Connections in Glasgow on Wednesday night. Andy thought that the musicians were a greater attraction at Bucharest zoo than the elephants!

The first half was made up of songs they had performed together, not all of which had been recorded. The second half contained the songs from their 1976 album Andy Irvine and Paul Brady. Whilst these had all been recorded, some of them had not been performed!

Hold on, said Andy as he tuned his hurdy gurdy.
We've been waiting thirty years for this concert, replied Paul, We're not going to hurry it now!

It was a great occasion and a terrific performance by them both.
