The Bothy Band was an Irish traditional band active during the late 1970s. It 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.
The group reunited in 2023, initially for a television documentary, which led to a full Irish tour in 2024. The lineup included all surviving members.
