A Young Tony MacMahon

[michael sam wild]

For the fellow hybrids amongst us who venture to the dark side, here's a nice clip of Tony MacMahon aged 17 playing in C and Amin on a B/C box. So he's up and down the rows in the old style

 

 

 

<br><br><br><br>Ciaran MacMathuna ( presenter?) was saying TM got the tunes from box player Sonny Brogan. Sonny Brogan was cited in Brendan Breathnach's book as source for Castle Kelly . Does anyone have an earlier source?, I'm just revisiting it as a faster reel, having tended to play it slow , as is quite common, having initially heard it on <em>Doublin'</em>, by Glackin and Keenan with Noel Kenny on concertina . This explains the roundabout link to concertinas! Ain't retirement great!
