HI!
I just started playing the Irish button accordion & I dont understand how to use the "Base" buttons??? I read about them & even watched a video but they still dont make sense? You play really well & thought I would ask you. Could you steer me in the right direction? Even a little help would mean the world to me!Thanks for your time!

I don't have any recordings at the moment, apart from appearing briefly on one of my partner Dick Miles CDs, if I do ever record more myself I'll post details here somewhere.

Hi, my accordion is a Castagnari Tommy in DG tuning. I bought it from Thrift music in England.

You rock. I watched an accordion video you did. I loved the sound of your accordion. Can you tell me where you got it and what kind it is? I have a cajun accordion and I have been thinking of getting into Irish two row. Is yours c/b rows?
