Martin grew up in Co. Clare, Ireland. This CD comprises some of his favourite tunes played at a relaxing pace. In his opionin music is much more than notes and technique. Each tune has its own story to tell. He feels we are forever indebted to all those who composed and passed on this music.
This is a wonderful CD for anyone interested in the concertina and in traditional music played at a beautiful pace.
Just listened to this cd yesterday. I was in Longford visiting my Grandma's sister and her husband pulled it out. They know Martin's family, and wanted to see what I think. It was a great cd and such a shame I hadn't heard it years ago! I could hear Mary MacNamara's influence right away.

Very, very similar in style to Mary MacNamara (to my ears) - solely based on this first cd, I think he just has the edge. Really smooth playing.

This tune on the cd is actually a jig called "The Old Flail" by V.B.
