Live from the Powerhouse[1] is an album rehearsed in six days, starting on 1 March 2002 in the seaside town of Rye, Victoria in Australia, by multicultural group Mozaik[2] featuring Andy Irvine, Dónal Lunny, Bruce Molsky, Nikola Parov and Rens van der Zalm.

This time round, though, all the melodic phrases are re-worked for string instruments emphasising the 1116 kopanitsa rhythm (2–2–3–2–2) with exquisitely crafted counter-harmonies from Irvine (mandola), van der Zalm (mandolin) and Lunny (bouzouki), augmented by Parov (gadulka and kaval) and Molsky (fiddle).

[2] "Romanian Horă" is a fiddle tune learnt from Jacky Molard and played by van der Zalm, followed by Molsky adding "Black Jack Grove" and its Blueridge mountains feel.

[2] "Pony Boy" is a fiddle duet played by Molsky and van der Zalm to set the stage for "Never Tire of the Road", Irvine's tribute to his long-standing hero Woody Guthrie.

[2] The band then launch into their arrangement of "Smeseno Horo" ("broken dance"),[2] which Irvine first recorded with Planxty on After The Break and then again with Davy Spillane and Bill Whelan on the album East Wind.
