Johnny & Ellen O'Leary - Kerry Polkas

[scotsophrenia]

Saw him playing for dancers in pubs a couple of times - that brings it home what it is all really about.

@NipperM846

i know the first polka was one of his compositions

Johnny was the greatest polka and slide player on the accordion not only for his music but for such a fantastic generous personality that went with it. Ellen was not bad on the whistle either. Great to see.

great playing but in my opinion, two instruments that should not play together. the box always seems to drown out the whistle. like i said though, great playing
