Planxty is an Irish folk music band formed in the 1970s, consisting initially of Christy Moore, Dónal Lunny, Andy Irvine, and Liam O'Flynn. Subsequently Johnny Moynihan, Matt Molloy and, briefly, Paul Brady were also members. The name "Planxty" comes from a word used by the classic harper Turlough O'Carolan in many of his works, and is thought to mean a tribute to a particular person ("Planxty Irwin", for example, being a tribute to Colonel John Irwin of Sligo).

  • Planxty is an Irish folk music band formed in the 1970s, consisting initially of Christy Moore, Dónal Lunny, Andy Irvine, and Liam O'Flynn. Subsequently Johnny Moynihan, Matt Molloy and, briefly, Paul Brady were also members. The name "Planxty" comes from a word used by the classic harper Turlough O'Carolan in many of his works, and is thought to mean a tribute to a particular person ("Planxty Irwin", for example, being a tribute to Colonel John Irwin of Sligo). "Planxty" is believed to be a corruption of the Irish word and popular toast "sláinte", meaning "good health". Others claim that the word is not Irish in origin but comes from the Latin "plangere," meaning to strike or beat. It is also believed that its origin may stem from the Irish phrase "phlean on ti" meaning "from the house of". During the penal law era of Ireland's history songs sung in Irish were outlawed and it is believed that the use of the phrase "Planxty" followed by the name of the composer was to disguise the true identity of the composer (it being assumed that Planxty was the first name of the composer) while still giving them credit for the song. Another possible explanation is that it is derived from the Latin Planctus, a medieval lament.

Dabei hat Planxty vor allem althergebrachte irische akustische Instrumente verwendet, aber frühzeitig auch Elemente anderer Kulturkreise, wie die Balkan-Folklore und Instrumente wie die Bouzouki, in ihre Musik einbezogen.

  • Planxty sono un gruppo folk irlandese. Il nome Planxty in gaelico irlandese è una composizione musicale in omaggio ad un ospite, un mecenate, un benefattore ed è usata da Turlough O'Carolan in numerose composizioni. Planxty potrebbe derivare da una corruzione del termine augurale gaelico sláinte, oppure dal latino plangere che vuol dire supplicare.

  • Planxty är en irländsk folkmusikgrupp, bestående av Christy Moore, Dónal Lunny, Andy Irvine och Liam O'Flynn. Gruppen startade under 1970-talet. Namnet Planxty kommer från ett ord som den klassiska harpisten Turlough O'Carolan använder i många av sina verk, och tros vara en hyllning till en specifik person. "Planxty" tros vara en förvrängning av det iriska ordet och populära skålen "sláinte", med betydelsen "god hälsa". Andra säger att ordet inte alls har ett irländskt ursprung utan kommer från det latinska ordet "plangere", med betydelsen att slå.
