Alan Morrisroe is recorded live in New Jersey in a tour-de-force performance in which he resurrects old-style melodeon tunes from County Mayo. Alan's main source was his own family, notably his grandmother Catty Nell, but his influences include Peter Conlon from the New York golden age and his comtemporary Paddy Joe Tighe. He mixes the tunes with engaging patter and humor which entertains as well as informs. Iris Nevins adds expert fingerstyle guitar.
