Thanks so much for posting this one, there are not many videos of Bobby Gardiner. 'SBB ina Shuí' was an Irish-language young people's programme on RTE Television , certainly in the early 1980s - in my last year at school our class attended a recording of the show one afternoon, c. January 1981

I have heard Bobby Gardiner on cassette but never seen him on TV/video. Great. *****

[mengascini]

Great to hear such top class music from one of our best traditional players and on the hohner one-row.

[gdhow62]

I know the 1st tune as Humours of Glendart. What is the reel (2nd tune) called?

[clarebannerman]

"The Swallow's Tail."

[comhaltasmad]

The 2nd tune is called 'The Swallowstail Reel' one of the best dance tunes ever composed.Brillo

[suemcdonagh]

That was excellent ! Thanks

[Rickupinoft]

Unreal! Bobby Gardiner is a fantastic melodeon and 2-row accordion player and one has to appreciate 'Ringo' McDonagh's bodhran playing too. The is great life in this music. Really enjoyed this clip, thanks.

There is also a posting of Bobby Gardiner on the 'Comhaltas' channel.
