ComhaltasLive #212 - 5: “Fingal”
The group Fingal formed in 2006 consists of three of the best-known traditional Irish musicians: button accordionist James Keane, fiddle player Randal Bays and guitarist Daithí Sproule. James is playing the new “Castagnari Keanebox” (called after James’ website), 3 voice B/C accordion. The group has been in huge demand and can be contacted at www.jameskeane.com. They play three reels: “Land of Sunshine” composed by New York accordionist Martin Mulhaire (which is this week’s Tutorial), “Capel Street” and “Hughie Travers”.
