@@martinlewis807 the concertina is to the accordion what the ukulele is to the guitar.

DEAR LORD IS THIS BRILLIANT.

Wunderbar

[@BenMcNally137]

This is an absolutely superb performance. When the guitar joined in I got goose bumps. I love how Steffi has played it. The chords fit the music perfectly, and are quite the opposite of the "Oom Pah Pah" most people associate with accordion. Are there books to show how to play accordion in this style?

[@Tomonic]

It sounds truly Irish. I enjoyed it a lot.

[@Ferdybroom]

lovely. and I think I heard a rather nice chord substitution going on

[@barbarashare3784]

I almost didn't listen, because I am not familiar with the tune. It was absolutely lovely!

[@Rodmiller55]

Beautifully played. I don't know this tune, can anyone give some background and history? I assume it is an Irish tune, what era and what story does it tell! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

[@stefaniebudde]

It is usually attributed to blind harpist and singer Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) as his first composition, which he wrote to the tune of "The Bonnie Cuckoo".[2] One author describes it as a "beautiful old Irish air, usually played simply and leisurely, and occasionally played as a waltz".[3] Sí Mór (Sheemore) and Sí Beag (Sheebeg) are also two ancient pagan burial sites situated close to each other in south County Leitrim.
