    Every now and again some young f***er comes along and redefines an instrument. Brilliant.

      That's exactly what I was thinking. The concertina is a bit of fringe instrument in trad. Popular in Clare maybe. I've never heard it played like this. You get the odd fella playing trad mouth organ, but this is a different level. This fella is literally writing the rule book.

    I asked my wife how many other musicians were playing in the background.
    You can imagine my awe in her response.
    This is amazing 👏 🙌
    Its even better when listened too on headphones...if that's possible !!

    As Martin Banks says here, Cormac redefines the bass concertina. To hear him play this live a few years ago where he helped host our Canadian choir, Harmony Mountain Singers from North Vancouver was mind blowing and an incredible privilege.

    @jeanwebster504 3 ปีที่แล้ว +76

    I account for at least 100 of the views on this amazing video..breathtaking playing..there is almost a violence the way you play that brings the instrument and the tunes to a whole different level. This is genius. Thank you Cormac

    • @PawsAndKeys
      @PawsAndKeys 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Same here! This tune is so rocking, the acoustics are great in the abbey, and damn that bass concertina is so great at accompanying itself. Do I hear a quote of another tune around 2:20 as well?

    • @Hewalog
      @Hewalog 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hahaha, I could say the same! I stream this video on my way to work for days at a time.
      Maybe “violent” isn’t the best word, but definitely “aggressive.” He really slams those bellows, it’s a brilliant percussive technique that can probably only be done using such a low keyed concertina.

  • @randomjokers7185
    @randomjokers7185 3 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    Amazing! Anyone that's ever picked up a concertina and tried to squeeze out a song knows how hard it is to keep track of what tone coincides with the in & out of the bellows. I'd love to hear how many hours of practice went into this song.
