I heard a fantastic set of tunes, reels, I think, on The Thistle and Shamrock two weeks ago. It was simply mandolin and accordion or concertina. I think they may be French-Canadian tunes, or something similar. Did anyone hear this set, or more importantly, do you know what the titles are and who played it? Thanks in advance.
P.S. The August 19 playlist (show #1108) includes a number of "trans-atlantic" tunes. Most have links to the record label, where maybe you could find the set as a sound sample.
