The Bothy Band are an Irish traditional band, originally active during the mid 1970s.[1] They quickly gained a reputation as one of the most influential bands playing Irish traditional music. Their enthusiasm and musical virtuosity had a significant influence on the Irish traditional music movement that continued well after they disbanded in 1979.[2]
