Thread Name: Irish Box Playing Recordings
Subject: RE: Irish Box Playing Recordings
The Music of Dreams, is a definate topper,'though I am not 100% sold on Laria O Lionaird. Tony Mac Mahon has his own CD, " Mac Mahon from Clare", a colection of tacks recorded over the years and is full of totaly commited acordion playing. He is without doubt the best player I have seen. PJ and Marcus Hernon and "The Grouse in the Heather", is good humoured and cheering. On the Copley lable I recomend the bright and entertaining recording by Bobby Gardiner with, "Memories of Clare", Copley COP-5010. Keep a look out for "Oidhreacht" by Conor Keane, who plays with Arcady. This is a solo recording, in the true sense, of a first class player on top of his game, Coor Records CKCD002. Charlie Piggot was a founder member of De Dannan and mostly plays a two row, "black dot double ray" in B/C, check out, "The New Road", Clo Lar-chonnachta CICD142 and, "The Lonely Stranded Band", same lable? Danish player Annders Trabjerg has been living in Ireland studdying Irish music for some years now and is a fabulous box and contental accordion player. His CD is now out called "Boxed", on his own lable No.001. anderstrabjerg@hotmail.com cheers.
