Our Take

Planxty's self-titled album 'Planxty 3' is a triumph of traditional Irish folk music, showcasing the band's stellar musicianship and unique songwriting skills.

From the hauntingly beautiful melodies of tracks like "Raggle Taggle Gypsy" to the toe-tapping rhythms of "The Blacksmith," Planxty 3 is a masterclass in Celtic music.

The band's chemistry is undeniable, with Christy Moore's soulful vocals blending seamlessly with Andy Irvine's intricate bouzouki playing. Donal Lunny's skillful arrangement of traditional tunes add depth and richness to the album, while Liam O'Flynn's haunting pipes transport listeners to the rolling green hills of Ireland.

Each track on the album tells a story, from the epic tale of love and betrayal in "Arthur McBride" to the lively jig of "Bean Phaidin," Planxty 3 is a journey through Ireland's rich musical history.

Overall, Planxty's 'Planxty 3' is a timeless classic that will delight fans of traditional Irish folk music and newcomers alike. So grab a pint of Guinness, kick back, and let the music of Planxty transport you to the Emerald Isle. Sláinte!
