Rambling Pitchfork is not the popular version that we have here in the database. It's a different tune altogether.
darn, i just stumbled across this on the internet, bought it and today played it for the first time, hoped this site would have info. no idea where she is from, but she sounds very clare a la paddy murphy or tommy macmahon on the old "clare concertinas" lp....i.e., playing the melody in the modern "across the rows" fingering, but keeping bass effects or other ornamentation very clean....this really sounds a lot like paddy murphy, ha....fascinating....
ok, here is a snippet from a web page which appears to be a several-years-old project to do some kind of history of concertina playing. heavy on english anglo players, and light on irish players, but denise shiel is one of the names mentioned: page link below. galway. fascinating. i THOUGHT she sounds a lot like tommy mccarthy or paddy murphy. galway would be close. lovely stuff. modern "cross row" playing, but very light old-style ornamentation and minimal bass stuff. my favorite sound.

it is apparently "shiels," with an "s" at the end.
and here is a tad more. this from a review of an accordion recording...she seems to be a virtuoso of box as well.....another by her in the same "champion" series as this concertina recording:
"....Denise Shiels, we’re told, “hails from Kilimor in the beautiful county of Galway”....

Sorry, I've lost the LP & only have a cassette copy of it, which means I have no details for you & can't find anything on Google about Denise.

Rambling Pitchfork on this album is infact the Bride's Favourite.
