Sean M Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I have a few solo albums of a lot of the great concertina players of Irish Trad, Noel Hill, Mary MacNamara, Chris Droney and Edel Fox to name a few. But I just realized that in all my albums of a trad music played by a band, none of them have a concertina. They all have either a button accordion or an uilleann pipe player that plays that similiar toned instrument. Anywho I'm looking to expand my musical collection. Can anyone tell me a few Irish Trad bands that feature a concertina player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Wooff Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 FISHERSTREET was a band that recorded an album a few years back. The Concertina player is John McMahon, a very fine ITM musician. The band all hail from Co.Clare. Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Can anyone tell me a few Irish Trad bands that feature a concertina player? How about Niall Vallely in Nomos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdms Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Can anyone tell me a few Irish Trad bands that feature a concertina player? How about Niall Vallely in Nomos? I was thinking he'd also played for Solas, but I'm not sure--he might simply have been backing up Karan Casey in her solo work (what with being married to her and all). The song I'm almost remembering was definitely with a band, not just voice and concertina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
