  • From the acclaimed CD 'The Road West', here's The Máirtín O'Connor Band with the hauntingly beautiful 'Inagh Valley' and the jig 'Rockin' The Boat'. Absolutely brilliant musicianship from three of Ireland's foremost traditional musicians - Máirtín O'Connor on button accordion, Cathal Hayden on fiddle and Séamie O'Dowd on guitar.
    As played during a concert at the Fleadh Nua in Ennis May 26th 2012, and streamed in full on LiveTrad.com.

      I mixed these guys a few months ago and, after soundcheck, they were just fooling around and played "The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" from Handel's oratorio "Solomon." They can play pretty much anything.

      4 years later and the effect of this jig still hasn't diminished, still a cathartic experience. There are less than a handful of tunes out there that get to me this way. I really hope to get a chance to meet Máirtín O'Connor one day.

    That was beautiful-absolutely beautiful! A wonderful performance. I especially liked the accordion (melodeon?), as a hobbyist player myself, but the guitar and fiddle really brought some extra liveliness to it. I'll be sure to listen to more of Mr. O'Connor's playing. ~My Regards & Applause from Across the Pond here in Boston 🍀

    • @ConsairtinFergus
      @ConsairtinFergus Před 5 lety +4

      Regarding the name, the instrument Máirtín is playing is named melodeon in the UK, and button accordion in Ireland, where the name melodeon is for the single row ones :)
      Other less popular names are button box, cairdín or bosca ceoil.
      Irish accordions are usually tuned to B/C, less popular tunings are C/C# or C#/D, what makes them theoretically chromatic, but there're always pitches more difficult to play than others.

    • @gtuneit
      @gtuneit Před 5 lety +3

      @@ConsairtinFergus My button accordion has three reeds per note, while I understand a melodeon has two, a less piercing sound, depending on the tuning. I noticed Martin working a control that changed the sound and presume it shifted reed courses. I took it that he played an accordion.
