Does anyone know who the concertina player is at about 10.00? My mind's still boggling!

Pippa,

That's Rick Epping, playing English concertina and harmonica simultaneously.

(By the way, there are a couple of square brackets missing out of your link, so I've added them to make it work.)

Its at 9:17
Guess you missed that

You may want to search for more clips by Rick Epping, with Mick Kinsella (who also plays harmonica and concertina simultaneously). They're quite something together.

Yes, but he's only playing harmonica then...

They'll have to get Brendan Power to take up the concertina too and finish off the trio, now that'd be something!

We had Mick along when we played the 'Masters of Tradition' last August. Mick was scheduled to do a night concert with Rick on the Saturday night. Rick cancelled at the last minute because a bigger gig came up: he was opening for the Rolling Stones in Slane Castle with Frankie Gavin.

Thanks to everyone - great to find 2 new players (new to me, that is)!

off to practise a bit harder ...

Like this one of them playing with John and Pip Murphy: Rick Epping and Mick Kinsella in Tutty's bar Hollywood [Co. Wicklow, that is ].


They are, and as Iron Lung with Brendan Power too: Iron Lung at NHL H2004, Brendan, Rick and Mick.

Mick Kinsella and Josephine Marsh did a tv programme last year in the RTE series the Full Set, that may still be archive on the RTE website. He's also playing concertina and harmonica here as part of the last incarnation of 'the Kitty Hayes Band'
