 The Donal Ring Ceili Band is resident on Sunday nights for dancing, 9pm until 11pm, at Christy's Hotel, Blarney, County Cork. Shand Morino accordionist Donal Ring is a veteran of the Irish music scene, with a career dating back to the 1950s. "When I started out, I paid £212 for an accordion, and £190 for my house site. But the accordion, paid through hire purchase, took me longer to clear. The early years were tough, but things got better and I still play that same Shand Morino accordion today," said Donal. Since forming his famous band in 1958, Donal Ring has kept the ceili sound alive in dance halls and theatres all over Ireland, Europe, USA and Canada. The band has recorded many CDs over the years, and made numerous TV and radio appearances — and their first ever DVD is now available. |
