Lovely playing. How nice to hear an accordion sounding like an accordion and not a concertina.

Great sound, the box sounds great. Can’t beat the deep sound of the Paulo!
Does anyone know the name of the second tune?

Joe Liddy’s? ;-)
I think this tune has been originally composed in Em, though. As “Come along with me” is usually played in G Maj rather than F Maj.
That’s a solid, steady style of music there. And you can’t beat that Soprani sound. Marvellous!
The first jig is known as “Come Along with Me”, though Finbarr Dwyer recorded it under the unusual title “The Hideout.”
