John Mc Cann button accordion All Ireland Fleadh winner

[@williamburke3945]

This is what playing at the correct temp is all about. Beautiful.

[@colincreane01]

Great to hear someone actually playing at a normal pace for a change, don't know why everyone nowadays feel that tunes have to be played at a hundred miles an hour . Great playing John explains why your champion

[@untonsured]

Ah they played very fast back a 100 years ago !

[@darnick54]

Great tunes, played at the right tempo. no need for the frantic nonsense we often suffer. Such talent. Thank you
