Box Player Supremo ♫♪♫ Joe Burke

[Dectheboner]

He looks like a medieval king

[dannyvandroogenbroec]

keith , it was in 1977 , his mistake !!

[settemio1]

burke is a class act with his own style. Super finbar dwyer is just amazing. joe cooley was a class act. you cannot compare box players when they all have different styles.

[irishgall123]

joe taught danny mahony and danny taught tp macnamara and now believe it or not tp is teaching me . no wonder we both have the same kind of syle xD xxx

[AussieSteveBoyle]

I had no idea Peter Ustinov played a squeezebox!

[IrishRoverauzz]

any1 know th name for 2nd reel?

[seanmc60]

Joe Burke is the master, no other box player comes even close to him

[SHOVEL33]

@seanmc60 Complete Bull

[SHOVEL33]

@seanmc60 check out the youtube vid of Finbarr and Brian Mcgrath....twas a xmas Geantrai...thats what you

call box playing...thats what you call music..the vid title starts 'dervish' for some reason...but please listen to that

vid...a few times...please do....it is stunning

[keithmcgrath]

@seanmc60 Joe is a brilliant box player but he's not the best in the country an you can tell that by the mistake he made at 1:00/1:01 !!!!!!!

[seanthebox]

Lovely stuf but what are the names of the tunes?

[SHOVEL33]

Finbarr Dwyer is the KING

[gibsonpaddy]

@SHOVEL33 Are u serious?

[SHOVEL33]

@gibsonpaddy very! Finbarr Dwyer would wipe the floor with him in so many ways..ive always admired joes

music,grew up listening to him and learning from him.....then Finbarr came back playing in 07 and all boundries were broken.. hes music is absolutley stunning..i have recordings of him from the last 3 years that

have made me cry,...joes music is great,but never drew such emotions out of me..ive never cried listening to joe burke...at the end of the day,everyone hears different finbarr king

[nialld82]

Great stuff and the bum note makes it even more iconic great recovery that passage was going to get him it happens every musician now and again

[AccordionIrish]

Fantastic Tempo and Tunes! Best Accordion player of all time! BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!

[scotsophrenia]

Classic - But as someone who has struggled for years to learn the box I am almost relieved to see that even Joe Burke is fallible.

[lligger]

Santa

brilliant

[CannyBB123]

[gibsonpaddy]

The rosslea whistler-fox in the town

Nice!  ♫♪♫

[leftclog51]

wow he is so good looking and a good player to match oh how i enjoy this kind of music i wish we had more of this in stupid england ,i only mean the music ha ha xxxx

[097liambox]

in my opinion a boring style. wheres the heart?!? Joe cooley was the king

[boxplayer2]

its not a boring style at all. hes one of the best accordion players out there. i will say though that ive asked ppl for their opinion on his left hand nd most agree with me. i think that he shouldnt hit every bass. let a few go, then hit a big one.

[tomasomealoid]

Please ...give me a break... Firstly, his style is most definitely not boring and secondly, Joe Cooley was most definitely not the so called king

[christophigus]

reelsonwheels is right

[Rickupinoft]

Great post. I've not seen any videos or heard any recordings of Joe Burke playing just on his own. His drive and class is as evident as ever, cheers CBM!

[gibsonpaddy]

Listen too his cuts in 1;51..

[tomasomealoid]

You can't get much better than him - great post- I don't know where your getting them but keep them coming!

[gibsonpaddy]

pure magic

[anorak64]

Another classic...clarebannerman we're certainly on the same wavelength. Keep them coming!

[coolasshole1]

Fantistic music!!  The true living ledgend!! more please!!!

[cuchaia]

This is a very special video in the sense of how one gets a glimpse into the making of music by a somewhat angelic entity in the form of Joe Burke. Look at the delicate hands at work, the more than a hint of a smile and the absolute ' I'm-just-here-ness ' of his demeanor.

Thanks Mike

[Cornbreadressing]

Grand box player ..

[bassplayinggoalie]

Random FYI - he's playing a C#D box methinks :)

- the D melody row he's playing matches the bass side - I don't think the C on a BC's matches with the bass side.

Correct me if I'm wrong! :)

[reelsonwheels]

I'm pretty sure the four 'outside' basses on Joe's accordion are D Bass and chord and G bass and chord in both directions(both press and draw). Of course I could be wrong as well. :)

[boxplayer2]

one of my favorite box players after the late joe madden

[fiddle4u]
