Every now and again some young f***er comes along and redefines an instrument. Brilliant.
This the most Irish thing I’ve read all year.
That’s a funny and all too true observation. Thank you.
That's exactly what I was thinking. The concertina is a bit of fringe instrument in trad. Popular in Clare maybe. I've never heard it played like this. You get the odd fella playing trad mouth organ, but this is a different level. This fella is literally writing the rule book.
Brilliant comment for a brilliant vid! ☘️
Couldn’t of said it better😂 like another limb to this man.
The man needs to come and play some folk festivals in Newfoundland. A couple of hundred thousand people would love him instantly.
Too true!
Not true. HE dont need...a lot of people do !
even the air button sounds great
That’s just about the greatest piece of musical talent I’ve ever heard.
If you could only hear this, youd think there were 3 people playing. Amazing
Wow , I’ve been learning the concertina for years , it’s a tricky little instrument , this is honestly mind blowing . Never seen anything like it !
I do not have the vocabulary to express how much I enjoy this.
I asked my wife how many other musicians were playing in the background.
You can imagine my awe in her response.
This is amazing 👏 🙌
Its even better when listened too on headphones...if that's possible !!
Irish music at it's very best.nothing to compare with this.fabulous stuff.
Truly one of a kind musick. Not heard anything like this my whole life and glad you are here.
Brilliant on so many levels
As Martin Banks says here, Cormac redefines the bass concertina. To hear him play this live a few years ago where he helped host our Canadian choir, Harmony Mountain Singers from North Vancouver was mind blowing and an incredible privilege.
I asked my friend how much Irish he had in him and he answered by playing this song for me.
Really class. Original, deep ,inventive ...........more than a tune, more like a powerful evocative story being told with such urgency and passion that you hang on every note . Spellbinding.
Very inspiring, never seen concertina played like before
Amazing! Anyone that's ever picked up a concertina and tried to squeeze out a song knows how hard it is to keep track of what tone coincides with the in & out of the bellows. I'd love to hear how many hours of practice went into this song.
G'wan Begley...I never tire of this. Amazing
Total Class ! I love the digerridoo bottom notes :)
Makes ya want to get up and fight someone, even if you have to invent an enemy
nice one ! plenty of enemies about at the moment too :)
Yeah, it’s more like you want to give your brother a good thump and then buy him a beer
the english ----you poor fool
Exactly.
Dail Eireann is full of 'em. Time to wake up☘
Yup the O'Neill's
I want this tune on every one of those concertinas, let's hear the colors of the rainbow.
A master musician at work...ASTOUNDING
He's absolutely amazing!!!! I"m obsessed!!
Ya...this is great music. I love the traditional aspect with some new twists such as some very low notes and strange sounds almost like it's electronic music...and of course a pounding rythem...Awesome!
His skill is impressive! 🤯 Sounds so good and special 😃
This is some sound, pure class.
How does he do that? This just took my head off! *It's brilliant!*
monster performance here. immense skill - in awe of this level of control and innovation
If this doesn't get a 'rise it' outta ya, yer dead inside.
Awesome! As fine a rendition of this old tune as I've ever heard.
Saw Cormac in Cherry Orchard last week lovely man and an excellent musician
Cosbard
Talented and mastered the art of traditional folk music and instrument.
Wow this is so awesome. HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY everyone
Playing the concertina like he stole it! ❤️
The first tune is called rolling in a barrel
Nice one
Brilliant version with your own individual stamp on it👍🏻 Thank john Creedon for introducing people to it!
You have stolen my heart with your music!
I can’t like this enough! This is incredible!
That man is pure class great respect 🙏 ❤
I can't stop listening to this! 😍
This so amazing Play by Cormac adore the low tones ever thank you exquisite
Amazing Play ever and tune by Cormac love those low sounds ever thank you Cormac amazing
I account for at least 100 of the views on this amazing video..breathtaking playing..there is almost a violence the way you play that brings the instrument and the tunes to a whole different level. This is genius. Thank you Cormac
This is the perfect description Jean!
Same here! This tune is so rocking, the acoustics are great in the abbey, and damn that bass concertina is so great at accompanying itself. Do I hear a quote of another tune around 2:20 as well?
Same here😆
Hahaha, I could say the same! I stream this video on my way to work for days at a time.
Maybe “violent” isn’t the best word, but definitely “aggressive.” He really slams those bellows, it’s a brilliant percussive technique that can probably only be done using such a low keyed concertina.
Im sure I've clocked up a good 50 or 60 views too. Awesome performance.
Bro is making me embrace my heritage
Cormac, truly mesmerizing..... LONG MAY YOU LIVE ! and make them concertinas sing. (A fan as Tralí, Contae Chiarraí)
beautiful stage to perform upon
this man is deadly
Awesome! - Advise listening on vg headphones to hear how really great this is............
I'm late finding this but I'm glad I did. Amazing.
Reminds me put em under oh ah oh ah Italia 90, although this lad is unreal on that instrument, mind blown
Sheer brilliance,.
Loved this in NZ when you played MAM!!
kerry gaol is the 3rd tune :), really channelling the spirit of tony mac mahon here with a splash of Didgeridoo tones.. awesome rendition
I know it as Tralee Gaol. Any idea about the name of the reel?
Excellence at it's Best 2024
You giving life to this reel ever Cormac amazing so much thank you
Brilliant playing,well done Cormac.
oh my goodness Cormac you're killin' me !
Is this recorded in the chapel at Kylemore Abbey? Ah, to be back in Ireland. Truly left my heart there ☘️.
Gorgeous masterpiece ever Cormac so well done topsssssss thank you
Superb, touched my soul 😄
So amazing Play and Low tones ever adore so much thank you Cormac Exquisite ever well done
Nothing on this scale in the entire cosmos. Kidding! Nice, Compare and Contrast with the Chieftains. Great different interpretations but I must say Begley does this with his lonely concertina as if it's a whole orchestra.
Madness I my
Cant wait to see u out in dunderry park next friday, im a kerry man at heart living in meath a long time now tho...
Love to hear that box in a full Croke Park. The tiers would collapse from people stomping their feet. You are a Maestro in the true sense of
...phenomenal...

Just like the bagpipes I can get down to this
Not my favorite instrument - but this changes everything !

Wel done Cormac, deadly on that old Concertina.
Absolutly faboulos, Just left O 'Ridada's in Ballymac where your uncle Seamus and Sharonnn Shanonn were playing together, (P O'Keeffe Music festival) and the tallent that comes from your family is astounding. Mind you Sharonn was also brilliant along with some local and not sp local musissians that wanted to play with the famous DUO. Excellent!!. keep upi the good work especially on that Base Consotinia - excellent work, Most cant get but a fart from it.
