Kevin Burke is a famed
fiddler and a founder of the renowned Patrick
Street, as well as the legendary Bothy Band, one
of the most influential Irish groups of the
1970s.
Born in London to parents
from Sligo, Ireland, Burke grew up playing
fiddle in the traditional style, though he notes
that his music is a composite; “The old Sligo
players provided the building blocks but I’ve
borrowed bits and pieces from all sorts of
musicians along the way.” Burke first came to
America as a result of a chance meeting with
Arlo Guthrie, which brought him to the US to
play on Arlo’s album, Last Of The Brooklyn
Cowboys.
The newest addition to Patrick Street, Ged
Foley, is a superb guitarist, singer, and player
of both the fiddle and the Northumbrian
smallpipes. Born in County Durham in the North
East of England. Ged (pronounced “Jed”) was
a one-time member of Scotland’s The
Battlefield Band and is a founding member of The
House Band.
