Brilliant Performance Guys Well Done

[@SharpsWorkshop]

I'm not usually a massive fan of trad guitar players, but I like what Padraig is doing. There's Steve Cooney influence in there I think, especially that second tune.

[@MichaelMAFox]

Beautiful music!

[@sangirardiecavicchi648]

Great !!

[@eamonndinan5996]

Wonderful playing. .

[@TimEdeyMusic]

Just superb

[@MrFastabulus]

Anybody know the names of the tunes?

[@BillMcHale]

Fabulous.. And just curious, is the box Mr. Connolly playing one of his fathers? Either way, picking up the melodeon is a fantastic way to keep his father's memory alive.

[@TradTG4]

Dia dhuit Bill, thanks for your comment. Yes, as far as I know, the melodeon he is playing there is his father's old Eb melodeon.

[@christaylor2070]

@@TradTG4 I didn't even know Hohner made flat key melodeons I only ever found them in C, D and G. You live and learn!

[@BillMcHale]

@@christaylor2070 Keep in mind that it might have been adjusted by a tuner after it was made, Eb flat is a quite popular alternate key in Ireland for D tunes.

[@lizabethgussman331]

And the banjo is North American!❤️❤️❤️

[@lizabethgussman331]

Noel Ryan, right.

[@edelahaye]

String instruments based on frame drums or using a skin are common around the world : Turkey : kabak kemane (bowed), sazbus, yayli tambur (plucked) Iran : tar (plucked) China : Ehru (bowed)

[@mjw12345]

The banjo as played for Irish trad at least in Ireland is viewed as an African instrument introduced to Ireland via the USA.

[@banjoman1565]

No I think Lizbeth means the banjo was made in North America, which it was. It’s an Epiphone which were manufactured in North America in the 1920/30’s.
