The original supergroup 🎼🎶🎵

Our eldest sister introduced me to them in 1970. Prosperous. I was sixteen. I'm 69 now and this Planxty tie still connects us over oceans and oceans of time.

I cried today when I heard that Liam O Flynn has passed from us. A humble and good man, his music so often and always helped me remember my own soul. He never sought heroism or power, but he stood with whistle and pipes as a great healer of souls. Planxty has a place in helping Ireland to peace through the Ages. I thank each and every one of them. And may God bless and guard them through all of time and space.

I was there !

Over 30 years ago I was walking in the Peak District and in a small village there, Edale, which all walkers everywhere will know of, I saw a notice board outside the village hall. It announced that Liam O'Flynn was playing there that very evening. I had and have seen Planxty and the individual members a few times in sizeable venues over the years, but that evening seeing Liam by shear happenstance in a village hall was magic. His music and talent lives on to be heard hopefully by generations to come.

Brilliant these lads saved Irish music in the late 60's early 70's.

Planxty;- an Irish musical treasure....

.... Life is lived and sometimes we go through musical phases.... I recall listening to Planxty in the early 80's. I saw Christy at Glastonbury 1986 after losing my son in 92, kind of drifted away from music. To have found this live show culminated so much emotion within me and these 4 men were so underrated in England. To have read the post that Liam passing a few years ago washed over me in such a manner that it was like losing a son again! The beauty of the human being and its ability to play an instrument. The 4 of these men brought and bring again, such overwhelming joy in my heart. The guy in the peaks catching a live gig was surely a golden ticket moment.

The finest irish folk band ever ! And also one of the best folk- concerts ever made... I`m so happy to have a hand full of CD`s from this brilliant band..!

No other Irish folk band has ever surpassed them and probably never will. Stellar individual and collective talents.

Love this . What a great bunch of songs and tunes. Certainly one of the best irish groups of all time.

Rest in heavenly peace, Liam O'Flinn!

I remember seeing Planxty back in the early 70's when they played in pubs around Ireland. IIRC they played in a pub called the Big Tree in Clogherhead near Drogheda. Used go to the youth hostel nearby and had amazing drinking sessions watching them. They were brilliant then and gave Irish music a whole new sound. Them and Sweenys Men.

The roar that erupted from the crowd for The Blacksmith... Liam Óg O'Flynn, absolutely breath-taking on the pipes. The other three each revolutionary to Irish music.

Nothing beats a bit Planxty. 👍

Farewell Liam O'Flynn. Your sound will echo in the world forever.

RIP Liam o’Flynn

Jeez, the way the lads looked at Liam after playing the tune for Johnny Leary says it all.

Great musicians they fed off each other's energy

Outstanding concert.

its 2020, which is the worst year ever, but the fact that this recording exists gives me hope for the future and humanity. Also, the song that starts at 36:50 makes me cry. every. single. time. Sad that Liam Og's gone, cuz that dude just SLAYS.
