In 1985, Andy Irvine joined up with fiddler Kevin Burke and guitarist Mícheál Ó Domhnaill (who had been gigging together around America for some time) and toured as a trio in the USA; when Ó Domhnaill wasn't available for some of the dates, guitarist/vocalist Gerry O'Beirne stepped in.[1]: 34–35
"This tour was such fun and so successful that we decided to expand the outfit into a four-piece by adding Jackie Daly", Irvine wrote.[2]
Originally billed on a 1986 American tour as "The Legends of Irish Music", they soon chose to call themselves Patrick Street.[1]: 34 The line-up for the band underwent several changes, but always included Burke, Irvine and Daly.
The guitar role, however, passed:
from O'Beirne to Arty McGlynn – before the recording of their first album, Patrick Street, which began in August 1986;[3]
from McGlynn to Ged Foley – after the band recorded their fourth album, All in Good Time, released in 1993;[4]
back to McGlynn – when they resumed touring after the completion of their ninth album, On the Fly, released in 2007.[5]
After Daly retired from Patrick Street, John Carty joined on fiddle, flute and tenor banjo in time to record On the Fly.[6]
Patrick Street was originally conceived as a part-time band, nevertheless they have recorded nine studio albums and one live album.
Music for a Found Harmoniumedit
The song was included on the Green Linnet 20th Anniversary, 2-CD collection of various artists, issued in 1996.
In 2008, the furniture company MFI also used Patrick Street's cover of "Music for a Found Harmonium" as the soundtrack of a TV advertisement.[7]
In 2009, Topic Records included "Music for a Found Harmonium" from Irish Times as track fifteen on the first CD ("Disk one") of their 70-year anniversary boxed set Three Score and Ten.
