Mostly Scottish... but these vintage remastering are great ! Topic issued in 1978 a vinyl called "Melodeon greats", with remastered recordings of the beginning of the 20th century : the interpretation hasn't aged a bit... seems that people like the wyper brothers played 2 row button box, C/C# (that can bring another discussion on the merits of different tunings....B/C, C/C#,C#/D, D/D#....)
the LP is Topic 12T376... but i dunno if it's been reissued on CD...

# Posted on April 20th 2009 by Nikita Pfister

Sigh ~ we can but hope that eventually the Topic catalogue, and RTE's and the BBC's archive recordings will eventually find air again to inspire us all...
