PaddyLosty Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I've been thoroughly enjoying a new album by Aoibheann and Pamela Queally. I first heard their lovely West Clare music on youtube a few years ago, and was excited to see a CD come out. Glad to say it lived up! Nice concertina tone, haven't had a chance to work out if its an A/E or Bb/F Jeffries yet, but it sounds great. https://thequeallysisters.bandcamp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifax Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Ooooh! Thanks for this! I love that they play lyrically and aren't "off to the races." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always thought fiddle and concertina made a great combination, and this is further evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I asked her). I plan to buy it ASAP. I listened to it on Bandcamp. Wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyLosty Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 As a Crabb owner and player, that is awesome to hear. Now I even more desire a Bb/F! What a great tone, and great tune selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great tone, and great tune selections. Actually I have a 20b Bb/F Crabb - it's a nice, albeit fairly simple instrument, but in need of some tlc regarding the air supply (I guess I would like to have the wood screws replaced with machine screws and end bolts). Ýou're playing a 30b (+) button C/G I guess? Best wishes - ? P.S.: I gladly repeat myself, the album has a fantastic musical touch, just as @Halifax has been saying! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have a lovely metal ended 30 button C/G Crabb, early in manufacture relative to most Crabbs and very responsive and with its own unique tone. My plan all along has been to sell it for a Bb/F Jeffries once my spot on the wait list of a contemporary maker comes up, however I'll be sad to let this one go when that time comes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 OK, so how do you pronounce “Aiobheann” (or even “Queally,” for that matter)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenneads Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Aiobheann = Yvonne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jody Kruskal Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Indeed, awesome to hear. Track 4 features some bellows shaking as a tremolo, very tasteful but way more than I would ever play... still she makes it work. The backup bosuiki and piano are both top notch.

DDF Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 This should help clear up the name pronunciation and is a delightful watch as well. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
