Paddy O’Brien/Joe Burke have a lot to answer for! Where’s the originality/musicality gone from box players? All triplets and rolls - sorry but itsjust plain boring. Give me Jackie Daly any day.

Actually, this is a fine and tasteful version of the tune. Good on you, Darra.

Mairtin O’Connor is the king of this instrument as far as I’m concerned. When is Comhaltas going to put on a clip of him?
