It is perfection

Two of the finest players of Irish Traditional music, yet, 47 'Keyboard warriors' gave them a thumbs down.....

OMG Beautiful Brilliant Performance Guys Well done RIP TONY

The Music simply doesn't get any better than these two great men playing together!

Wonderful music gets better every time I listen to it.

I absolutely love this and come back to it when I need reminding of how good these two could be. And I love the 'hup!' that you hear them shout, when it is really rolling. Reminds me of people shouting out in the pub I learned in back in the 70s, packed with first generation Irish missing home. As it picked up you'd hear the shouted encouragements and then at the end ''Fair play to ye!" I miss it.

Mighty in one word 😊

"""Sad to say Tony Mc. Mahon on accordion passed away a couple of weeks ago . R . I, P Tony . ""

The music to liven up lockdown. Good for the soul. Thank you both.

the 2 albums they made together with the dancers represent the best of trad music. the last reel the new mown meadows is one of the finest reels, much loved by sean nos dancers. great bass.

This music and a few pints of Guinness.....Heaven......Yahooooooo !!

such energy and beauty

Great performance by both of them!

Sensational - 2 of my all time favourites playing together!!

Doesn't get any better than that.

Lovely blend of great music with ingenious harmonizing Splendid musicianship by two leading exponents

Aye there gifted.

Great musical duo

Just been to Kilfenora where we saw him on stage. marvelous music. by God he is aging well too.....wow.

Sacré souvenir, de 1970, au Festival interceltique de Lorient !!

Excellent playing

Yes it was filmed...I remember seeing it. I've never seen it since. The atmosphere captured at the session was unbelievable. One of great set dancers that night is no longer with us...Marty Marrinan from Cooraclare, County Clare.

The talent is un real god given

How we spend the winter in Clare folks!

Amazing, powerful, masterful performance from two difficult, intense and highly gifted players. Thanks so much CeiliPaul. I'll be trying to emulate that set until I get old and me fingers seize up!

I know this is ten years since posting, and I know this is not going to sound especially impressive or exciting to some folks, but I just wanted to point out that thanks to Noel Hill, and to concertina music in general, I've been able to add a little bit of energy and spirit to my weekly D&D sessions. It's anachronistic fantasy gaming anyway, but the players at my table weren't getting excited over fiddles and flutes. Then I found the concertina, the maker of the music that we so often consider "sailor music" now. They don't have the historical background to know the full difference, but to a small (and growing) number of fantasy nerds, this is the music of high and joyful adventure. Thank you for posting it. :D

Been workin on this wiv me 40 button Bastini for 3 weeks now & not even close! There are some good players here in Spain but they are all blown away by this INCREDIBLE!!! Spanishman

Stunning. Two Maestros at work.

Most of my listening to Joe Burke would suggest that he is primarily a performer for a seated attentive audience. Tony has that special draíocht exemplified in bhis slow air playing but to me his greatest strength in in playing for set dancers, which for a large part of the listening public here in Clare was the primary object of the music. Listen to the crowd's initial reaction to the opening and closing 16 bars of any caledonian set when played for and danced as it should be. Mac's the Man

So are you

It would be interesting to hear Grainger's "Molly on the Shore" on accordian like this.

Notice that Tony is "striking" every note, even ones where two successive notes push/draw or draw/push, in the row are on the same button.

There is a CD up on YT of Hill & Mac Mahon playing this set of reels for set dancers in a county Kerry Pub...The best traditional music C.D. ever recording..

The smaller the concertina, the easier is it to control.

Great!!!

Dead right, Bannerman The set dancers in Cnoc na Graoi and the two lads greatly complemented each other. Do you know if that session was filmed. I think there is a film of it around somewhere

itma.ie... possibly find it there

It's not perfect...........................it's better than that.

The tone and melody of the tunes are excellent but for me it is played a little too fast, as if they were in a hurry to get to the end.
