I’m delighted to see Frank grace this web site. He’s responsible for introducing me to piping which culminated into a never-ending love affair with the Uilleann pipes. I’m forever grateful for that!
Nice to see a Leitrim man playing the concertina (well almost a Leitrim man).
Living in Carrick on Shannon. One of only about 2/3 people playing concertina here. Sounds and looks really lovely. Wonder what they cost?
