ComhaltasLive #242 - 4: Billy McComiskey plays some Reels on Button Accordion
Now we present a solo by Billy McComiskey, the proud owner of the grey Paolo Soprani accordion formerly played by the late Séan McGlynn. Billy had it specially reconstructed with reeds fitted by Martin Connolly, manufacturer of the very popular “Kincora” accordion. Billy plays two reels: “The Man of the House” and “The Rainy Day.”

Great video! Really enjoyed those tunes. Billy McComiskey is no doubt one of my favourite box players. His variations are class.
