Patrick Street

Patrick Street was an Irish folk group founded in 1986 by Kevin Burke on fiddle, Andy Irvine on mandolin and vocals, Jackie Daly on button accordion, and Arty McGlynn on guitar. Their formation followed a successful tour by Irvine, Burke, and Mícheál Ó Domhnaill in the USA. Their debut album, Patrick Street (1986), was followed by a lineup evolution over the years with notable members including Ged Foley, Bill Whelan, Declan Masterson, James Kelly, Brendan Hearty, John Carty, and Enda Walsh. They recorded nine studio albums, including No. 2 Patrick Street (1988), Irish Times (1990), and All in Good Time (1993). Their rendition of "Music for a Found Harmonium" gained significant exposure, featured in films such as Hear My Song (1991) and Napoleon Dynamite (2004). Other notable albums include Cornerboys (1996) and On the Fly (2007).
