Tim Collins is an awesome concertina player. I love his recordings and to see him play is fantastic. Thanks.

I take it you've seen/heared this one, one of the first bits of concertina music to be dumped on u-tube, and one of thie finest in the Irish style, generally thought to be Tim Collins.

Of course Tim's also right in the middle of this little lot, too, alongside Gearóid Ó hAllmhuráin:

Nice one Ptarmi. As with most u-tube session videos it's best to save the clip, and adjust the brightness and contrast so you can see all those happy smiling faces getting on with playing the music.

Yes, it had to have been the worst-lit gig I ever went to, the only "stage lighting" was above and behind the musicians!

 

I was sitting in the front row, only a couple of seats from Tim Collins' mother, who I hadn't seen for many years, in fact I was pleased to meet several people there who I haven't seen much of lately...
