Tracks: Trip To Turk, The Monaghan Jig, Believe me Sligo, Lord Mayo, Going Places, The Mountains of Pomeroy, Rockets to the Moon, Indifference, Geese in the Bog, The Water is Wide, The Drogheda Jig, Heading Home Mairtin O'Connor, from Galway, began playing the button accordion at the age of nine and has had a remarkable career stretching back to the late 70s. As well as performing as a leading member of De Danaan, Boys of the Lough, and other traditional bands, he has also recorded and toured with The Chieftains, Mark Knopfler, Elvis Costello, Rod Stewart, and on the highly popular Riverdance show. He is also an imaginative composer, whose music fits well within the idiom of Irish traditional music yet often heads in new directions musically. |
