 Mairtin O’Connor (diatonic button accordion), Cathal Hayden (fiddle, banjo) and Seamus O’Dowd (guitar, vocals) perform at The Met, Bury, Lancashire, on Thursday January 16th, 8pm. Máirtín O’Connor, from Galway, is one of Ireland’s leading button accordionists. He was a member of De Danaan in the 1980s, and has also played with Midnight Well, De Dannan, The Boys of the Lough, and Skylark. His first solo album ‘A Connachtman's Rambles’ (1979) established O’Connor as a top flight solo traditional musician and proved a major critical success, and his further solo recordings ‘Perpetual Motion’ (1990), ‘Chatterbox’ (1993) and ‘The Road West’ (2001) revealed O’Connor to be a composer with great imagination and diversity. He has worked as a session musician with Rod Stewart, Elvis Costello, Mark Knofler, The Chieftains, The Dubliners, Davy Spillane, Maire Brennan, and the Waterboys.
