listening to finbarr for over forty years he was the reason i started playn the box. the accordian is part of his body it sounds as if he was born with it. steve.
@BlackFolkAndPiano He is, men like him tried to develop the music along the road of musicality and beauty, unlike some others ! Long may his music live ..and Paddy O'Brien/ Paddy Carty/ Sean Ryan / Samus Ennis/ Paddy Canny/ Paddy Kelly...and a few others who developed without damaging.
Anybody know where these tunes are from? The first two sound like they could be some of Finbarr's own. And the third sounds very familiar. Is it his composition Farewell to Cailroe?
I'm learnin' it! I play the tune in dadgad tuning, no capo on the ould giotar. Great tune Finbar, sits in the heart like a great session on Quex Road with Peter and his whistled sax, fado, fado,...
Brilliant!

Uladach, he's actually playing a D/D# box but "on the draw" (with B/C fingering). Finbarr is the MAN!

Magic. This musician has been a major influence since the 1970s. It's great to hear him playing live again.
