Does anyone know who this is playing "ships are sailing" in this clip?. I remember seeing the movie originally and looking for it but I could never find it in the credits. Fantastic playing and a fantastic sounding box.

Can't find that info in IMDB. EVERYTHING else, except the musicians. Typical. There's the possibility tho' that any uncredited fiddle music could have been played by Brendan Gleeson. He played the fiddle in the Cold Mountain and Michael Collins films, at least.

I think it's "Paddy's Lamentation/Ships Are Sailing" by Mary Black from this album:

The box player is Martin O'Connor

Here are some of the soundtrack credits;
http://imdb.com/title/tt0217505/soundtrack
They list Mary Black but show nothing for "Ships are Sailing"
nor any mention of Brendan Gleeson.

Martin O'Connor is probably right, it does sound like him now that you say.

You guys are great.
