    This chap is a musical wizard, and I also heard him singing a lovely rendition of The Mountains Of Pomeroy. I applaud the great work of TG4 for helping the natives to recognise that Irish music is a match for anything in the rest of the civilised world.

    This young genius has breathed new life into old tunes and made them exciting to listen to He is as much to the accordion as the great Michael Coleman was to the fiddle Now thats saying something

      He is no way near being a genius.
      He has a really generic trashy box playing style and he is severely overrated.
      You want to hear a young genius listen to Ademar O'Connor he is a way better box player than Conor.
      Oliver Diviney, Chris Maguire, Nuala Hehir to name a few are far more underrated and better than Conor also.

    The first reel Drowsy Maggie was popularised by Donegal fiddler Johnny Doherty The second reel Sailor on The Rock was recorded in the 20s and 30s by the great Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman and by the Leitrim flute player John McKenna both in New York

    Another young Irish two-row virtuoso with inspiring technique and interpretation. I'm begging to think Thatcher was wrong: there is such a thing as society. Irish Trad now a living tradition, as good as or better than ever.

      @MrBollox79 Před 5 lety

      Pretty sure that first one is called "The Morning Dew" here it's played by Tony MacMahon - one of Conor's influences etc (hope you can watch it as I don't think it is watchable outside of the States when it is on the topic profile under a certain artist etc): czcams.com/video/p7DkmSsEFo8/video.html

    Got to question that set design. Seems more suited to a black metal band (the furrowed brows, withered trees, the corpse paint) than a traditional performance... why so negative, if not downright utter darkness? Must have been a subtle downer for the crowd.
    Fantastic performance, though!
