Breda Shannon on Concertina

I'm impressed, and it's clear why Breda is an All Ireland Champion.

 

Note how Breda holds her fingers away from the keys, in order to get both "attack" and subtlety" into her playing; just a quick dab on the buttons to obtain the desired effect.

 

Anyone know who taught Breda?

 

Peter.

She's from Roscommon and also plays whisle and flute to championship standard. Her brother, Aidan is a fine flute player too.

Hi Mike,

 

Well, I found all of this, via a Google search, but still can't find who taught her.

 

Regards,

Peter.

Sorry about that.

It's this one, David.

Thanks-- it is lovely. I heard the clip a few years ago. She must be mighty these days.
