Dubbed "the most important Celtic band in the rock era," The Bothy Band is probably the greatest of the new Irish groups that rose in the seventies, The Bothy Band was composed of Triona Ni Dhomhnaill, Micheal O Dhomhnaill, Paddy Keenan, Donal Lunny, Matt Molloy, Paddy Glackin, Tommy Peoples, and Kevin Burke.

The initial lineup of The Bothy Band had Paddy Glackin on fiddle as well as Tony MacMahon on accordion. The band turned professional in November of 1975, with Peoples replacing Glackin on fiddle, to be replaced in turn by Kevin Burke in May of 1976.

As members disbanded and went on to form their own bands, the music of The Bothy Band has lived on and will continue to do so as the wave of Irish traditional music sweeps all over the world today.
