Andy Irvine & Donal Lunny’s

MOZAIK
in concert

 

Andy Irvine (Ireland), Nikola Parov (Hungary), Bruce Molsky (USA), Dónal Lunny (Ireland & Japan) and Rens van der Zalm (Holland). 

Donal Lunny and Andy Irvine are two of the most talented and respected musicians Ireland has ever produced.  Donal is best known for his work with Moving Hearts, Planxty and the Bothy Band but also has more than 100 albums to his credit as producer or contributor.  Andy Irvine was a driving force in bands such as Planxty, Sweeney’s Men and Patrick St among others.  Mozaik is their newest and arguably most exciting project.

The music is a fiery fusion of Irish, Balkan, and American Old Time music.  Mozaik is the ultimate global string band- a truly international ensemble who can not only perform music from a wide array of cultures, but interweave their myriad influences into a fiery fusion of Irish, Balkan and American Old Time music. 

Between them the band plays over 20 instruments with Nikola covering a bewildering range of East European instruments that many people will never have seen before.
