The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
John is of Co. Sligo origin, but has lived in Dublin for many years. He plays a B/C Paolo Soprani, and like myself is an All-Ireland senior accordion champion. This reel is one of many that I learned from his playing.
