Sorry but Seamus Tansey has tarnished his "crown" by his unforgivable behaviour in writing a vitriolic and abusive letter to a young female accordeon player (Sharon Langston), which ended up being read out in full on Irish national radio.
I have never listened to Tansey's playing and I will actively avoid doing so in the future.
Anyway Matt Molloy is (and always has been) "The King". Maybe Seamus should write a letter (of apology!) to Matt. Don't hold your breath.
Yes, he acted in bad taste. But we don't know to what extent the other player fed to his anger. He has been chastised publicly and has apologised -- after a fashion.
But the man can play. That is undeniable. He has a great store of music and stories. If you never listen to him it will be your loss.
And he isn't the only musician who has acted the bollox.
The Crown is Tarnished
