ComhaltasLive #211 - 3: John Burke, Jr.
John Burke (Jr.) plays two jigs on one of his father’s fiddles: the first was composed by Josephine Keegan and the second was composed by John Whelan, well-known accordionist, who lived in Luton, England before emigrating to the USA. Even though John and Aidan Burke (featured in segment #211-1) are brothers and both play fiddles made by their father, their playing styles are strikingly different.

Nice laid back style with “bounce” and very enjoyable. Thanks for making it available to a wider audience.
Wonderful playing; does anyone know the names of the jigs?
