‘14 Years Ago’ – Dermot O’Brien Rememberedby Rob Howard |
The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending March 12th 1999 included an enquiry about Dermot O’Brien, the Irish accordion entertainer and singer, who for many years was resident in New York. Dermot O’Brien (1932-2007) was the most internationally popular and commercially successful accordionist Ireland has produced to date. He had a stage presence that few accordionists from any genre could match, and was much admired by his contemporaries. There is an article about the late, great Dermot O’Brien in the Accordions Worldwide Memorials section. DO YOU KNOW DERMOT O'BRIEN - SOUTH AFRICA Contributed by Sergio Zampolli A South African accordionist would like to receive information on the accordionist Dermot O`Brien. He thinks Dermot plays an I Busilacchio 13 treble coupler, 7 bass coupler instrument with a double cassotto, which is similar to his own model. It is possible that Dermot is now in the USA. |
