- Noel Hill and Tony MacMahon play a selection of reels in December 1988 reminiscent of their album "I gCnoc na Graí (In Knocknagree)" recorded years earlier.
Reels: The Concertina Reel / Come West Along the Road / The New Mown Meadow.

This is as close to perfection as you're ever likely to get.
It is perfection
Two of the finest players of Irish Traditional music, yet, 47 'Keyboard warriors' gave them a thumbs down.....
"""Sad to say Tony Mc. Mahon on accordion passed away a couple of weeks ago . R . I, P Tony . ""
OMG Beautiful Brilliant Performance Guys Well done RIP TONY
Yes it was filmed...I remember seeing it. I've never seen it since. The atmosphere captured at the session was unbelievable. One of great set dancers that night is no longer with us...Marty Marrinan from Cooraclare, County Clare.
the 2 albums they made together with the dancers represent the best of trad music. the last reel the new mown meadows is one of the finest reels, much loved by sean nos dancers. great bass.
I dance to the new mown meadow most nights while cooking the evening meal ,as said a great fav of Sean nos dancers,and Emma Sulliven.,she is fantastic.,have a CD of these terrific players.
"""I knew Noel's uncle Paddy well , and travelled to several fleadh ceols with him, with another friend , along with mary Bergins father Joe. In Paddy's green morris minor ,singing and lilting al the way ,Boyle Swinford etc. great fun had by all.very happy memories. """😉👍
Could never say anything.else..fhiz is phte genius..nor bkrhdfed to spell
Pure genius.. tks..james
The Music simply doesn't get any better than these two great men playing together!
I absolutely love this and come back to it when I need reminding of how good these two could be. And I love the 'hup!' that you hear them shout, when it is really rolling. Reminds me of people shouting out in the pub I learned in back in the 70s, packed with first generation Irish missing home. As it picked up you'd hear the shouted encouragements and then at the end ''Fair play to ye!" I miss it.
Masters! Pure drop!
Saw Noel in concert once and I was in awe of his mastery !! 🤩
Mighty in one word 😊
Two of the very best, A treat to see them playing together.
Wonderful music gets better every time I listen to it.
Just been to Kilfenora where we saw him on stage. marvelous music. by God he is aging well too.....wow.
Great performance by both of them!
This music and a few pints of Guinness.....Heaven......Yahooooooo !!
wow.. you don't have to know much about music to tell that's extraordinary playing.

Fantastic playing.
Amazing, powerful, masterful performance from two difficult, intense and highly gifted players. Thanks so much CeiliPaul. I'll be trying to emulate that set until I get old and me fingers seize up!
Lovely blend of great music with ingenious harmonizing Splendid musicianship by two leading exponents
Sensational - 2 of my all time favourites playing together!!
The music to liven up lockdown. Good for the soul. Thank you both.
Yes beautiful stuff.. when Clares dragoons went ti qFranxe earlt 1700"'s
Doesn't get any better than that.
Well done altogether like!
The golden age of these two great musicians
I love you guys. Don't ever stop.

Superb masters in action✅
Two of the Music Greats!!
I play these songs off the Chieftains cds on my tin whistles love knowing they are out there to play along with love it guys
Amazing!
Great musical duo
I know this is ten years since posting, and I know this is not going to sound especially impressive or exciting to some folks, but I just wanted to point out that thanks to Noel Hill, and to concertina music in general, I've been able to add a little bit of energy and spirit to my weekly D&D sessions. It's anachronistic fantasy gaming anyway, but the players at my table weren't getting excited over fiddles and flutes. Then I found the concertina, the maker of the music that we so often consider "sailor music" now. They don't have the historical background to know the full difference, but to a small (and growing) number of fantasy nerds, this is the music of high and joyful adventure.
Thank you for posting it. :D
Et toujours autant de plaisir à vous écouter !
AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Great post Thanks
Unreal
great music for dancing
Beautiful blending Brilliant duet in London
Brilliant!
Top rate stuff
Oooh La La!! Irish Soul Music. Good for the heart!
This is something else

Amazing
Masters, both of 'em. Fantastic :D
I bought concertina today on carboot sale and so here I am :D
a great song, you play so good, Love from Romania!
Great reels man...not a song..
Sacré souvenir, de 1970, au Festival interceltique de Lorient !!
Legendary
Just brilliant musicians.
Amazing! Thanks for posting!
A touch of the 'Masters' Hands' here. An Clár Abú!!!!!
Great music so well played McMahon knew how to use the bass R I P ...his likes may be here again but they will be rare.
I know he has Parkinson's, but as far as I'm aware he's still alive, and living in the warmth of India.
Most of my listening to Joe Burke would suggest that he is primarily a performer for a seated attentive audience.
Tony has that special draíocht exemplified in bhis slow air playing but to me his greatest strength in in playing for set dancers, which for a large part of the listening public here in Clare was the primary object of the music.
Listen to the crowd's initial reaction to the opening and closing 16 bars of any caledonian set when played for and danced as it should be. Mac's the Man
Mighty altogether
love it ye have lots of energy lads love to meet up with ye
Bravo por esta gente
GOOD LADS THAT IS TOP CLASS IN BLOOD
Notice that Tony is "striking" every note, even ones where two successive notes push/draw or draw/push, in the row are on the same button.
Nectar!
Sheer bliss
Energy Mor!
It would be interesting to hear Grainger's "Molly on the Shore" on accordian like this.
There is a CD up on YT of Hill & Mac Mahon playing this set of reels for set dancers in a county Kerry Pub...The best traditional music C.D. ever recording..
*Cork actually Michael I beg your pardon
Dan Connells pub In Knocknagree.
Brill music
tony's a beast
So are you
♥
The smaller the concertina, the easier is it to control.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph but that's music.
Rest in Tony from Brian Cavanagh from Loughrea Co Galway
I would walk a long way to see that film. If anyone has a clue where it might be found, please post the details!
Great!!!
Noel hill is my great uncle
He's great at a number of things.
bomaite1 touching kids for one
Well! ...he's a Great Uncle to have.
This is the best piece of Irish music on Utube.
Key?? Eb??
Did you ever figure it out?
Dead right, Bannerman
The set dancers in Cnoc na Graoi and the two lads greatly complemented each other.
Do you know if that session was filmed. I think there is a film of it around somewhere
itma.ie... possibly find it there
ni bheidh a leithead ann aris arimh
Not the same without the set dancers...r.i.p. Marty Marrinan
Ah but there are still a few set dancers left 😊😊🎵✅
That's great!!! =)
Keila Terencio i
Охуительно!!!!!!
it looks like the French of Louisiana Cajun music
i dont know about the look of it but unless you are tone def it sounds irish
It's not perfect...........................it's better than that.
never liked the concertina reel so much!
I just wish he'd pay his bills
Stop now he was fully cleared dope
The tone and melody of the tunes are excellent but for me it is played a little too fast, as if they were in a hurry to get to the end.
It's a good tempo for set dancers.
Could it be they're over speeding..
Top shelf
great set of tunes, i could listen to this all day!!!!!
I do keep coming back to this one myself. It's brilliant.
This music with the dancers back in the late eighties on rte was the best ever ..
