Bobby came to the shop on 21st July,2010 and played a selection from his recently released album, The High Level. His music is rhythmically infective and his easy passion for the music is all too obvious.
Great to hear this man ..I first heard him play in Lisdoonvarna around 1960...he has that lovely sense of melody and a reasonable tempo which now seems to be rare...he plays a tune tunefully!
Yes your correct, as I passed comment a few weeks ago on a box player who been around from awhile and should've known better, I said he was showboating when he had no call to.🌏
@JDMacify Come on, we wanna hear bobby speak. He would have been happy just to belt out a few tunes. But the interviewer got him to say a few words before he played. I thought it was nice.
uh, that`s a 2 row irish button accordion. probably made in italy , where most quality accordions are made . some places call it a box , technically , it`s a diatonic accordion . also common but not as common as the b/c accordion is the c#/d accordion.[ for irish music ]
Bobby usually plays a B/C accordion (across the two rows), but this one is in D/D# (played along the straight row) which is what he played with the Kilfenora Ceili Band before he went off to America in the 1950s.
The Wind That Shakes The Barley of Scottish origin was a great favourite of the great Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman who electrified audiences with his dazzling performances
Happy New Year from a very good friend from Ireland, County Limerick, in the 1950s's - Eileen - formerly of Ansonia, Connecticut. I watch you on youTube and listen to your music to this day. You never lost that touch! Best wishes for a glorious 2013!
it's not a melodeon its an accordion but same thing they called it a 2 row melodeon then called it the accordion but its in B/C as are most irish accordions as thats the standard sometimes you get the odd one out but very rarely
D/D# is what it is, the system Bobby originally played before he went off to America, and before Paddy O'Brien showed everybody what could be done on a B/C when his three 78rpm discs were released in 1955. I've played on the very same D/D# grey Paolo that Bobby used with the Kilfenora in the early '50s, a mutual friend in Lisdoonvarna used to have it.
Such beautiful playing
Aupa maestro que bien le pega gracias 👍
I'm listening again..I'm hooked on this music.Making a fruit cake and beating the sugar and butter along with the tune !
What a wonderful gentleman✅🇮🇪
Such talent but modest with it✅

He's been one of my favourite melodeon players for 30+ years after seeing him play in Derby with the All Ireland Champions Tour - 1970's?
CCE Echoes of Erin tour? Best of storytelling, musicians & dancers. 👍🙂
