Conor Moriarty, Kilcummin, Killarney, Co. Kerry. All Ireland Accordion Champion at the All Ireland Fleadh Ceoil, Cavan 2010. Conor plays 3 reels from Finbarr O'Dwyer's compositions
Great sense of melody ...like Finbar Dwyer....we should hear more of this on all instruments...nice bass selection .. nice use of the classical turn ...good key changes . this would make me feel like taking up the accordion. '' .well done!
This young man is a great player. With my firstt wage of eight shillings, and six pence, 73 years ago, I used the sixpence to buy A Hohner Sunny boy mouth organ, as we called them then, now they are posh Harmonicas, or Harps, with prices to match. Anyway, I taught myself to play basic music by ear, shortly afterwards I bought a penny whistle, on which I did likewise. In short I knew nothing about chords, and bass, still don,t, the point is, that this fine box player, on the final reel he was very sparing with his left hand, and his reel still sounded great. So there,s still hope for me.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good man Connor.I videod you at Kiskeam ,Padraig O Keeffee's Music festival 2 years ago.You are a credit to your Parents and Kilcummon co Kerry,and from Johnny Brosnan's spot on the map as well.
Excellent! In his playing, as the old saying goes, " you can hear the curlew in the mountains" . It wasn't,t from behind the door he brought this talent. His mother and father, John and Mary, are steeped in the Sliabh Luachra musical tradition, both being Set Dancing teachers. Great music!
Hi Connor, my new Accordion Hero. Thank you for the nice concert in Tonder. Lucky me to meet you!! Do you join the Fleadh in Mullingar next year? Best regards from Hamburg - all the best for you - Britta
Ril Bheara which looks like Scots Gaelic, "Bear Island Reel" it's on the Cunninham brothers' recording "Against the Storm" which I can't find on youtube. Here's an uilleann piper playing a variant, CZcams address VILeUafffuw
Hi Conor. I was just wondering if I could ask you a question. I've been using a small little hohner box for a quite a while now, but my accordion tutor insists I upgrade. Do you recommend the Paolo Soprani or the Salterelle? I'm just starting out with the bass side, but I should have the bass perfect by the time I get the money to get a better box. I'm just looking for a second approval. Cheers.
Irish music is the best. I love it. I also believe the ancient picts of Scotland trace back to Ireland. Which means the clans will trace back to Ireland also.
sorry for being a bit harsh . I just thought it was a bit grim criticising the man without any technical or justifiable foundation for it . Your dads a good box player though thats for sure
Rosie Nolan Your Daddy may be really good... anyway, when you say you expected "better", it's only on mechanical skills comparison, which is the only quantifiable thing in music. The other thing is sentiment, and this guy hasn't got a lack of it. Sure you don't play the box anyway ^^ or if you do maybe your ego has grown a bit too much =)
+343Arbre Exactly. There is nothing more annoying than ego-driven "my Daddy/Son/Daughter is better" comments from non-musicians. It's about conveying the music well. Nobody cares too much about differences in technical ability outside of this.
coming back to this video year after year…what a gem! ❤
Fantastic playing Conor as always!

Ril Bheara which looks like Scots Gaelic, "Bear Island Reel" it's on the Cunninham brothers' recording "Against the Storm" which I can't find on youtube. Here's an uilleann piper playing a variant, CZcams address VILeUafffuw
Does anyone know the name of the dark mandolin to the immediate left of the violins?
would love to hear your great music
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
I wear combat boots to stomp out time when I play. Makes a HUGE difference if you are playing solo.

You tell me if there's a better way to give homage

Good tunes, very good player... Is your accordion a B/C or a C#/D ??
Musical thoughts from France : Christian
DIATOMUZIK Un tiré en La sur le bouton du haut. Du coup Si/Do ;)
Bauduin Alban
Does anybody know what the first song is called? Pretty please
finbarr Dwyer
I hereby proclaim throughout the yonder realm California that accordion be The Instrument of the Aforesaid Lands!
Eu adorei esse som, é muito bom! Quem está tocando?
Whats the difference between the button and key accordian? is there a reason the button one is preferred?
Lovely playing although that Paolo Soprani is just a bit too dry tuned for my liking.
anyone know the name of the first tune? quite catchy isn't it
finbarr Dwyer
What is that first song he's playing? It's amazing!
Vladimir Pavlovich Finbarr Dwyer
lesson in swing
Irish music is the best. I love it. I also believe the ancient picts of Scotland trace back to Ireland. Which means the clans will trace back to Ireland also.
Thought it was one of finbar dwyers ?
from which company is this instrument ?
is this a G/C acordion or what is it ? :D thanks
B/C
What exactly are the names of these tunes??
blinding music. thats box playing at its best.
Does anybody know where to get notes of Irish music for button accordion? Thanks!
Artem Ostretsov Your ear! That’s how people have learned this music for hundreds of years
It's called his foot...
nice playing but that box has a very dry sound from it, or is it the surroundings....
maybe he likes it that way
sorry for being a bit harsh . I just thought it was a bit grim criticising the man without any technical or justifiable foundation for it .
Your dads a good box player though thats for sure
Rosie Nolan Your Daddy may be really good... anyway, when you say you expected "better", it's only on mechanical skills comparison, which is the only quantifiable thing in music.

What is this instrument called?
Silage trailer
