He’s a great player altogether. The first reel is called “Forget me Not” and it was composed by Larry Redican. It’s also been known as “Gerry Cronin’s” (by the Dubliners and Sean Smyth), “Crehan’s” (by David McNevin) and “Martin Rochford’s” (by some local musicians I know).

great music, would make a great feis musician for dancers

Nice piano accordion playing. The second reel is the Killavil but has anyone got a name for the first ? I have heard it referred to as Martin Rochford’s although I think there’s probably a more definitive title.
