It's not the box that makes the difference, its the player and he is the best I've heard

[@lauraobrien5686]

He's lively alright!!!!heard him in Dingle a few years ago.fair operator

[@Melvorgazh]

Damien Mullane was already a groovy master in 2008.
Love his Cajun mélodeon 🙂

[@traceypowell9802]

What a class style, Damien has.

[@MrRaglanroad]

Now that's what I call music!

[@shawakyland]

Snare and brushes from the Bodhran, magic.

[@flyboy4002]

[@JarlTryggve]

That Bodhran player is fantastic!

[@eileennestor9274]

Fantastic music

[@MichaelMAFox]

Yeah, Damien's certainly got it!

[@bcmaughan]

Agree with comment likening box playing to that of Joe Burke. It's very, very good. Utterly crisp and yet inventive too.

[@marsvltor2]

Cracking 'box playing!!!

[@gianlucasherpanamche3217]

Amazing

[@Laurajomusic58]

tanks!!!!

[@eva1965]

@SkyDK1 Seamus O´Kane; great bodhran maker!

[@chestyrockwell]

The Shaskeen and The Honeymoon Reel

[@Melvorgazh]

How old was Damien back then?
Looked like barely 18.
And already a seasoned pro 😎

[@deslm]

Kick ass! Would have rather heard Alec Finn backing than the piano but Hession rocks anyway.

[@DJFozter]

which makes it a button accordion. melodeons (in an irish music sense, note) tend to have just 10 keys

[@michaelthornton5143]

2019?

[@philmoylan7077]

Would like to know the actual name of these tunes. Awesome !

[@colindouglas7769]

Have they got the Tea Boy on the Sound Desk or something? Whoever it is doing the sound, he needs to be given his jotters; you can't hear the fiddle at all!

[@upkilt]

Honeymoon Reel

[@christ6493]

great playing but the accordion and bodhran are drowning out Frankie's fiddle

[@fh041205]

Yea, can't hear the fiddle at all! Not like Frankie to stand for that!!

[@MorangRus]

Yeah, got the same impression. Accordion and fiddle can sound good together when playing different parties for example when accompanying a song (good example I heard is "Irish Battallion" sung by David Kincaid with Liz Knowles on the fiddle and John Whelan on the accordion - both instruments can well be heard, creating a beautiful layered polyphony), but when just playing a dance tune together the result is often is mutual redundancy, just making it harder to hear the nuances of each instrument.

[@SkyDK1]

What kind of bohdran does he have????

[@Laurajomusic58]

does anyboy know the names of the tunes!!i know shaskeen but what are the other 2??

[@ww3n]

The Shaskeen Reel / The Honeymoon Reel / Maud Millar

[@Windhorse_Mcghee]

cant hear the fiddle lad

[@rfdarsie]

Great stuff, although the accordion overpowers all the other instruments.

[@bluegrasscannuk]

No fiddle !!

[@ezekielsmukler2903]

I heard the low sound on the fiddle.

[@BobSoperJr]

Can't hear the fiddle at all

[@Laurajomusic58]

Sneaky tuning!!!;osavage playin though!!!

[@tommullane4]

Actually, it's not an accordian, it's a melodeon, which has buttons rather that keyboard

[@lauraobrien5686]

A melodeon has a single row...thats an accordion

[@MichaelMAFox]

Yeah, Damien's certainly got it!
